Dr. Checkup - Week 23 & 1 day

We had a great checkup today at the OB doctor. The baby's heart beat was 140 and he was moving a lot! The doctor said the heart beat was strong and the baby is growing wonderfully. I was a little concerned about the baby's growth going into the appointment today because I seem to be bigger than I was at this point in the last pregnancy. The doctor couldn't believe how much my uterus had grown since last time. He didn't say how many inches it was...but I am guessing 3 inches up the belly from four weeks ago. That is a ton! I don't even want to know the amount of weight I have put on in total... but I was 2lbs higher since last time (although it feels like more than 2lbs). The doctor even said that since my numbers came back so well from the last pregnancy for the diabetes testing, he didn't feel like I would need to take the test again. I told him I would rather be on the safe side and take it at the next appointment. Yummy...orange syrup!

Ethan stayed with Pawpaw and Grandma while I "escaped" to the doctor and ran errands and ate lunch with Kris today. It was such a great day!

Mission Hair Cut!

Ethan had a very exciting weekend! He got his FIRST haircut! He was very good and sat still for most of the time...that is after he got a hold of a comb to play with! Crystal has been cutting Kris's hair for a while and she said she would be glad to cut Ethan's. He is growing up so fast. He looks more like a little boy now than a baby. We were also able to get a lock of his hair for his book too.
