We're almost full term!

We had a weekly OB appointment today. Everything looks good! I gained one pound in the last two weeks bringing my weight gain to about 15 pounds total. The fundal height measures at 34 cm, which is right on track. Additionally, he told us that I am already 2cm dilated & halfway effaced! Although this really means nothing in terms of when the baby arrives, I'm glad to know that my body is cooperating and starting to get ready for her to be here with us :) We go back next week!

Short appointments are a good thing!

Today we had our second to last 2 week OB appointment. Basically, we sat in the waiting room for over 20 minutes for a 5 minute appointment. While this is frustrating, they only had good news! My blood pressure, glucose test, and baby's heart beat were all perfect! I also hadn't gained any weight and had no concerns. Basically, no news is good news & we hope to keep it that way. The next appointment is December 21st and after that they will be once a week. It's getting closer to the baby's arrival! Yay!

29 Week Doctor's Appointment

Wednesday we had our 29 week OB appt. Everything looks great! Our appointments are now every two weeks instead of each month which should be fun...ha. They also weighed me and I've only gained 13lbs so far! In other news...the measurements they took show that she is the size of a 30 week baby so we should meet her before her expected due date. Who knows though, she will join us whenever she is ready! 

Doctor's Appointment

Yesterday I went to the doctor for my 26 week check up. Everything looks great! I've only gained 3 lbs in the last month, which is surprising bc I feel like I've gained 50lbs. They did measurements and say it came out it 27 cm which is exactly on target. Basically, we're still on track for the January 23 due date & everything looks perfect.


In the next week I have to get the Glucose Tolerence Test (which is going to be yucky) and my next appointment is in 3 weeks. After that, I'll start going every two weeks. Meaning, lotttssss of doctor's appointments are in my future.


Other than that, everything looks great :)

Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice....

...that's what our baby is made of!!!

This morning we went in for the "big ultrasound" appointment. The technician and doctor both said we're having a girl! In other news, the real reason they have the ultrasound is to check on the baby's development. She seems perfect! We saw her arms, legs, heart, brain, etc. Unfortunately, we couldn't really see her face because she was hiding it behind her hands. The technician said she was very "wiggly" and didn't really stay still --- I totally agree with that. Basically, we'll have a daddy's little girl on our hands - I'm already predicting it. Mostly, we're just excited that she's healthy and things are going well. We'll post some of the pictures soon!

22 Week OB Appointment

Today we met with Dr. Arnold at Jefferson OB/GYN. Each time we go to the doctor's office we will meet with a different practicioner so we can meet all the partners before Baby Silverman's birthday. He read the results of the urine analysis, initial ultrasound, blood tests and said they all look great. I was also very pleased to learn that my blood type is A+, therefore no RhoGam shots will be necessary during the pregnancy.

According to the Ultrasound and their counting, we recieved another possible due date of January 18th. Essentially, the Baby will come sometime in January or Early February, anytime it's ready. Everything seems to be going well and we are going for the "big ultrasound", to hopefully see if Baby Silverman is a boy or girl, this Wednesday at 10:15am. We're very excited to find out, and we'll keep everyone posted :)
