This photo was taken on March 15th.
I had an OB appointment today. It was the standard weigh/pee/blood pressure/heart tones affair, with bonus bloodwork.
Stats:
~BP was 100/61.
~Weight was -1 pound, bringing me to a total pregnancy weight shift of -5 pounds.
~Baby’s heart was galloping along at 153.
My next appointment will be the Big Ultrasound. We plan to peek.

Another belly photo is coming this weekend after I write about what I did last night. Hint: I was backstage and my hearing is still a little off. I hope the baby’s ears are okay.

Archie has 3 molars invading his little mouth, with the 4th poised to poke through. It’s a Dentalanche. As you may expect, his mood hasn’t been very sunny.

I’ve said this before, but I find it very difficult to write when I am pregnant. My creative energies are devoted to thinking about baby names and having totally wackadoodle dreams at night.
Lovely. You are at the cute pregnant stage. (Are you feeling better then? Second trimester bliss?)
I didn’t find it difficult to write during this pregnancy. But at this stage, I’m finding difficult to do anything but whine. This is a first for me. Normally, the end of the pregnancy isn’t so hard.
LOVE that belly 🙂 You are so blessed!
Look how cute you are! I can’t wait to hear if you are cooking up something pink or blue!

Can’t wait to meet the belly in person. (I’ve already met you, so meeting the belly will be a first!) Eek. Very excited for all of it!
And I totally understand the lack of creativity. Ugh. Only my camera has saved my blog from a total abandonment.

Love that sweater! Girl. Could we set up some type of betting pool where we win millions if we are right? 🙂
I’m so excited for you!

Negative weight shift? Is that a positive thing? Is it supposed to work that way?
Poor Archie. Poor you. Molars were the worst for us (so far!).
