Beach Pictures 2010--Fort Morgan, AL
Well, we had a great trip to the beach, and it is very hard to be home. I believe the only reason I agreed to get in the car to come home was because we had a sonogram yesterday morning to see Martin again. The beach was great, and we didn't see oil until late Friday afternoon. We got plenty of ocean and beach time in before the oil showed up. Martin loved being in the ocean and the pool....I can only imagine what that feels like to a baby in utero. It must have been pretty cool, because he just swam around the whole time I was in the water. And, boy did I eat while we were there!!! Lots of shrimp and mahi mahi (my fave fish)...and even some fried cheesecake. It was a great trip. I of course did plenty of shopping for Martin while we were there....maybe a little too much. But, he will not have to go naked, that is for sure!
So, yesterday we went to the doctor, and had a great report. My placenta has moved way up out of the way, so it is no longer a concern in relation to the cervix. Great news, right? Martin weighed in at 1.5 pounds which seems crazy since just 4 short weeks ago he was only 12 ounces. However, his mom is gaining weight like crazy. I had a slow start having only gained 5 pounds in the first 20 weeks. But---drum roll please....I have gained 9 more pounds in the last 4 weeks. Now, keep in mind I have been at the beach and didn't miss a meal the whole time we were there. So, I think that is some of it. Doc assured me that 14 total is still great....but it feels strange to be ok with weighing 140+ pounds. I guess it is my one excuse to put on weight, so I will enjoy it while I can. The doctor said everything looked great. I do the glucose screen next visit (yuck!), and get to schedule the 4D ultrasound at that time too. I can't wait to see that....
I will post pictures from yesterday tonight. I didn't have time to scan them last night, so I will do it today after work. I was too tired last night....imagine that??
