Time is flying!

I never blog anymore & it's not because I don't want too. Half the time the crappy internet is out so that doesn't help. Then I have a nearly(in 3.5 months) 3 year old. I am 7 months along & man it's hard on my body. I get headaches all the time, backaches a lot, out of breath all the time, especially when walking up stairs. I HATE STAIRS! I still feel a disconnect from reality when it comes to this pregnancy & my life, most likely depression. I have started getting ready for baby, about time right! I have washed the odds & ends and his clothes (nb & 0-3 months). I have a great friend sending me some of her son's baby things & my mother in law will surely be bringing stuff when she comes in 3 weeks.

So, happenings. I'll just make bullet points about them.
  • Katie is currently about 22 lbs(up to 22.4 with clothes) & 34 inches tall. Yup, still a very petite princess!
  • Baby boy is still unnamed. I thought he was named, I tried to accept the name my husband picked(for the time being) but it just doesn't feel right. I still want him to be named the one I picked.
  • Baby boy is small! His belly is measuring behind by about a week. Rest of him is on course or a little big. So, he'll have a small belly & long arms and legs.
  • Because of this fact I have growth scans every 2 weeks now & bbp(checking blood flow) scans every week. I have OB appts every 2 weeks but have most of the pregnancy
  • 2 weeks ago he was estimated to be 2 lbs 10 oz. This week he was 3lbs 11oz. Gained a pound(supposedly) in 2 weeks.
  • Doctor guesses baby boy will only be 6-6.5 lbs at birth, small like his sister.
  • The calcium or bright spot is still present in baby boy's abdomen, not sure what it'll mean but doctor doesn't seem too concerned. I guess why worry until you know for sure what it is. :(
  • Good side: My BP is excellent & I do not have gestational diabetes. Oh, I've also lost 20-25 lbs. I am starting to gain though so... *sad face*
In 7-8 weeks we will be a family of 4 (or 5 if you include Hershey). That is crazy!
