Brooke had her checkup on Wednesday and she is looking GREAT! We saw Dr. Bing this week, who we love, and we got to schedule the next sonogram for August 29th! We will look at Brooke's size and position at that one.
My iron is still below what it should be even with my prescription, so am going to try to eat some more salads and broccoli. My glucose test re-do will be sometime next week, as well. (BOOOOO!)
This is a pre-thank you to Jessica, Megan and Kristen for hosting our shower for us this weekend. I know they have worked so hard to make it a perfect day and we are so excited! Adam and I are so lucky and thankful to have such wonderful and supportive friends and family that are going to be there with us (in person and in spirit!).
Mood: Excited! The baby shower is this weekend and we can't wait to see everyone! The girls have been working so hard and we are so thankful that they are hosting for us!
Energy: Starting to waiver! Sleep is not coming as easy and not as easy getting chores done.
Cravings: Same as usual.
Nausea: None this week.
Total Weight Gain: 20 pounds
BEW this week (per BabyCenter):
Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
