She is a big girl!

We found out today that she is around 2 pounds which is in the 90th percentile for size. Which means that she is just a big baby, or I could possibly have gestational diabetes. I am having my diabetes test on the 4th and then going back to Dr. Robertson on the 8th. Hopefully she is just a big girl and I won't have to worry about diet and stuff. If she is bigger, it means she might be born sooner. So I guess we will wait and see.


He said she is healthy though and we got to see another 3D picture of her face which is really awesome.

Pepper's growing

I had my appointment yesterday with my regular OB. She said I was measuring a little big, but not to worry it could just be where she was sitting at the time. And the high risk doctor has never said anything about her being big, so I think we are in great shape! She has been growing though as I feel like my stomach is constantly expanding! And there are times where I can't possibly imagine her getting any bigger because I feel like my stomach is going to explode as it is :)

Oh and I am totally obsessed with my baby registry now. I find myself looking at it online and adding and deleting things from it. I did make another trip to the store to do a little registering as well. I also bought something off the registry that I wanted and some really cute baby clothes! So at least she will have something to wear and an exersaucer!

I am almost 25 weeks now! Time is flying, yet sometimes I feel like I can't wait to meet her and wish I was at 35 weeks. But I don't want to wish this time away because I will never get it back.

Well we head to Dr Robertson on Monday for another ultrasound (YAY). We will see how much she has grown in the last 2 weeks.

Had 3D Ultrasound today

Had my checkup with my high risk doctor today. We had Libby with us so they took some extra time taking some ultrasound pictures so she could see her baby sister. They pulled out the 3D wand and we got to see Pepper's little face. It was so cool. Almost like looking at a photograph of the baby.

I can't wait to show you all! Everything else was perfect and they estimate that she weighs 1 pound 3 ounces which is right on target for her age of 22 weeks!

Again my cervix is in good shape so no progesterone shots! YAY! We will go back to see Dr. Robertson on Aug 25 for another check!

We Registered!

Well yesterday Jim and I made our first attempt at registering for the baby. Neither one of us had ever done this before. We went to Babies R Us after hearing that was the place to go! We did manage to pick out a stroller/carseat combo, a pack and play -bassinet combo and few other odds and ends.

Needless to say the store was kind of overwhelming and overrun with noisy mom's yelling at their screaming kids, so we didn't stay very long. Jim left with a headache and my stomach was tight and very uncomfortable.

But hey it's a start and now we can update it online or make another day to brave it again!
