Another Doctor appointment and another, and another - seems endless. The baby's heartbeat was really loud and filled the room last time! Doc showed Sean how to measure my "fundus" the top of the uterus from your pelvis bone. We're right on track, 17cm for 17 completed weeks. Interesting huh?
Today we were called in to receive our screening results from my bloodwork, because they couldn't tell me over the phone that everything was a-ok! No flipper baby or any other detectable weirdness, which is a relief.
I feel like my belly is getting bigger everyday - I guess it probably is. I employed Malsa's technique of the hair elastic holding your button on your jeans, giving you that extra couple inches right over your tummy. Ah!
Also tried something a little less baby-ish, but more mommy won't be able to see down there pretty soon... I went for a brazilian wax job! Actually, a groupon for 3 of them! Figured if I'm gonna give birth, I should be able to have the hair ripped out of the area, and maybe get over some potential shyness of having strangers grabbing at your crotchal region. Wasn't so bad. Worst part was over your pubic bone, NOT in the cracks - who knew?! :)
So, we continue to grow and keep going to the doctors I guess. :) Oh, baby is the size of an onion or turnip apparently.
