Slight Progress

Today was our weekly doctor's appointment. The baby's heart beat sounded great and my blood pressure is still looking good. However, I did lose a pound and a half. The doctor did not seem to be too worried about this because my belly did still grew a centimeter and the baby's heart rate sounded good. Yet chances are if I lost more weight next week they would start to think something is up, but I doubt that will happen. Dan and I went to Philly this past weekend for my birthday and did LOTS of walking, so I am thinking that might have been the cause of the weight loss. Although I did eat a lot this weekend and week, including tons of yummy desserts!!! But we will see what next week brings. I can't believe how quickly the weeks are still flying by, yet at the same time thinking about possibly waiting four more weeks to see, hold, and meet our little guys for the first time seems like an eternity!!

Okay, so we also found out that the baby is definitely head down, has dropped some, and is in good position for delivery. Now he just needs to decide when he wants to arrive! As my good friend at work told me, the best advice that her and her husband received before their baby boy was born in Feb, was that you are on a bus and are no longer the bus driver, so sit back and enjoy the ride. The anticipation of the baby's arrival is what I am having a tough time with right now. I feel great and really have enjoyed being pregnant. Feeling the baby move is one of the most amazing experiences ever! But, I just want to know when he is going to arrive, because we can't wait to meet him, hold him, and see what he looks like. As I keep joking with Dan, maybe he will be a red head?! Both my Grandmother and Dan's Grandmother were red heads, and Dan has a good bit of red in his side burns and facial hair, haha...only time will tell I guess. On a side note, we are still working on names, but hope to have one picked out soon!

Here is one picture from my bday weekend in Philly. It rained for a few hours the first day that we were there, but we had such a fun and relaxing (well minus all the walking, but we enjoyed it) time together!!!
