25 Down, 15 To Go

Claire claims a stranger on the street can now tell I'm pregnant!

I went to the doctor this morning, the baby's heartbeat was 138-142 and my fundus height was right on target at 24 mm. I've gained 15 lbs so far-yikes, it is piling on really fast these days! I hope it slows down, soon. But, the doctor said everything is right on track.

The nursery room is now cleared of the queen sized bed and dresser (ummm, after Jeff took a saw to the box spring in order to get it into the basement), ready for the crib and changing table. Jeff might even paint the walls and ceiling this weekend! We're still debating on weather or not to buy neutral bedding before the baby is born, or buy gender specific bedding afterwards. We are planning to have the baby sleep in a bassinet in our room for a little while, so don't technically need the nursery completed before birth. Decisions, decisions!

We had a mentally and physically exhausting weekend with Claire. We were very busy for three days, talking babies and bikes as predicted. She got a good start on shopping for her summer necessities and Jeff and I were able to unload some extra bike stuff on her.

Glad to know that you're taking such good care of yourself and giving my grandchild such a great start.
