The Wife had her last monthly appointment, before moving to every two weeks, yesterday. She knew the ever exciting and always popular gestational diabetes test would be coming up, so she was overly joyed for that. As it turns out, she gets to start going every single week and she gets to have monthly ultrasounds from here on out. I don't know if I mentioned this on the blog before, but there is this thing called a "single umbilical artery", where the umbilical cord has one artery and one vein instead of the regular two arteries and one vein. The SUA has the potential for complications, but as long as the baby is growing, they just monitor it and make sure things are proceeding correctly. So far everything is looking perfectly normal, so the SUA just means more ultrasounds and baby pictures for us... which is awesome.
The Wife read something a few weeks ago about how, once you get to the 26th or 27th week, sometimes you can hear the baby's heartbeat by just putting your ear on the belly. I have now tried it twice, but I still haven't heard anything. I have been kicked in the head twice by the baby for my trouble though... so that's something.
We also have the 3D ultrasound coming up in the middle of May, so that's sure to be amazing. I have no idea how it works, but it does, and that's all that really matters. Pictures will be up immediately on that.
We are down to less than three weeks until the re-decorating of the nursery will take place. IT JUST WON'T GET HERE FAST ENOUGH!!!
