22 1/2 weeks

So......I may not be nearly so "blog happy" once a) this blog loses it's newness and b) Gunnar gets here and I have less time to write, but for now, I am happily maintaining an every-other-day rate of posting. Sorry if it's too much : )

Anyway, today was Baby Doctor Appointment Day, which I have come to love. I think it's so much fun going. Nason (being the good daddy that he is) has yet to miss a single appointment with me. We always schedule our appointments for 8:30 am, and then go eat at McDonald's afterwards. It's our new tradition. In fact, once Gunnar actually gets here, I think I'm really going to MISS that tradition!

The appointment today was supposed to be one of the more "boring" appointments, meaning just weight check, blood pressure check, urine check, and hear baby's heartbeat (well that part is not boring, at least), BUT the greatest Dr. ever, Dr. Shaushua, let us sneak in a surprise extra sonogram. I was a little bit worried that I hadn't felt Gunnar move yet (or maybe I have, but just don't recognize it for what it is), so just to ease my mind, he let us slip in and get a sonogram. Gunnar was moving around like crazy! Arms moving, legs kicking, lips sucking, everything! For whatever reason, I just do not really feel it. I'm fine with that though....I'll feel it eventually, and for now, just knowing that he IS moving is comforting enough. One other big thing about today's appointment....I've now gained a whopping 30 pounds!!!! We actually had to move big slider on the scale from the "100" mark, to the "150" mark...and then add a few extra little pounds up top. I've never had to move slots on the scale!!! OMG!
