Seven Months Update!!

Posted Saturday, May 29, 2010 2:32 PM

There has been SO much going on this month.  Since our last visit with the Dr. we had another visit on May 21, 2010 (since we are now seeing the Dr. every 2 weeks) and I gained 6lbs in 2 weeks .  Since my uterus did not grow any since the last visit it was ALL ME who gained the weight.  lol!!  Dr. Rao was not worried since I didn't gain in the beginning and my sugar test came back fine. 

We have also taken 3 parenting classes within this past month!  We attended Breast Feeding Basics, Infant CPR, and Prepared Child Birth.  These classes were so informative!!!!  Matt seemed to learn more than I did in breastfeeding and managed to knock the fake baby's head off in Infant CPR (oops)!  But on a serious note, I'm really glad we attended these classes since we have no previous knowledge or experience.  I am so grateful that Matt went to all these classes with me and we got to experience this together!!

Within this month we have also picked out the baby's pediatrician, Dr. Sabagh with Kelsey Seybold and we have picked out the day care Kids R Kids on Westheimer Parkway.  I loved it when I went there and they have an awesome curriculum and a very clean, positive atmosphere.

Our daughter is starting to be intense in her actions (moving & kicking) and Matt can feel her a lot more now.  She is very active at night and right after I eat.  Sweets are my favorite thing now, but I haven't had any major cravings besides when something sounds good to eat I need to eat it!! 

I was thinking I was going to get to rest for the next month, but it looks as though we have the family/friends baby shower on June 5, pictures Matt and I are taking on June 19, and putting together the baby's room.  Maybe I will rest the month after :).  I'm still working both my jobs and debating on when I will take off of ReMax (I think I need my weekends to sleep before the baby gets here!!).
