Jen's WLS blog

well geez i think we've been to the dr twice since my last post here. And also thru two floods in our apartment, which now we have moved into a new one. so anyway, we found out in January, we're having a boy. He is pretty good sized 11oz they said in January, and his heartbeat was 160 the other day for the check up. Next month I get to do the blood glucose test and they will do another sono to check Zach's growth. :) We are getting closer. I think Brandon and I get more excited the closer we get to June. Getting ready to get invitations out for the baby showers. Having two since some live in Michigan and some live in IL. So anyway, so far so good. I've gained a total of 15lbs, according to the dr that's great, to me i feel like i gained too much, but that's the mindset u get when u've lost 205 lbs and then start gaining again! :(

 

 

 

Ok so I went to the Dr yesterday, hoping they were going to do another sonogram so I could see what we were having. When I got there, I had to wait an hour to be seen, and then once I was in there, he just wanted to listen to the baby's heartbeat. Although that's exciting too, I was really hoping to see the baby yesterday. Oh well. The next appointment is January 24th, 2008. We will hopefully be able to see on the sonogram then, whether we're having a boy or a girl. We picked out names for both already. We sat down the other night and made a list of names, for both boys and girls, and decided on Zachary Daniel for a boy and Kylie Raine for a girl.  I went shopping the other day with  Mom, and man are those 0-3 month clothes tiny.  I cant wait to know what it is we're having so i can buy clothes for him/her. Doc told me I can only lift 25 pounds and to take it easy so I dont spot anymore. When they weighed me I was at 198. *sigh* I guess it's part of being pregnant to gain the weight, but I just hope I can lose it again when I have the baby.  I know I sound like I'm being anal, but, I didn't go through all that misery from the surgery and trying to get things going just to go back to where I started.  Christmas was exhausting here. I feel like I've been in the car for the last week. I sure did enjoy bein with mom and brandon's family though. We did spend chrismas eve and Christmas at home by ourselves, that was nice.  New Years Eve, is gonna be pretty much more of the same, we're going to be at home, where pregnant women should be lol.  We'll probably watch the ball drop, if I can stay up that long. I have been going to bed around 9:30pm lately, even when I take a nap.  We are planning on being in Michigan on Jan 12th, and staying for a few days. I guess Bran has to train someone so that he can move his schedule up an hour, so he can't leave town until the 11th or 12th of jan. Well I will write more later. Happy New Year everyone.
