Well, baby girl that is :) I think that I can definately say at this time that she's large enough that I'm feeling her movements. The past 2 nights, while laying in bed trying to fall asleep, I feel the flutter of movement. Monday night, I don't know if she just liked the pasta I had for dinner, but it felt like popcorn kernels popping in there! I put my hand on my stomach, thinking that I would be able to feel it, and the popping quieted. I removed my hand and pop, pop, pop.
Should only be 3-4 more weeks until Ryan is able to feel the movement as well. I can't wait until I can feel the kicks and punches but right now, this fluttering is nice reassurance that she's in there, growing, and learning how to move her muscles.
At my last appt, I had asked the doctor about risk of anemia related to the pregnancy due to my lack of animal protein. Lucky for me, so far, my hemoglobin levels are still in the perfect range so I am really relieved at those blood results.
Our next appt is 3/13/12 for what they call the Level II ultrasound/anatomy scan. I've been told by others that this appt should give us some good pictures of her as well as check to make sure that the heart, kidneys, brain, and all other organs are developing properly. I'm hoping to get some good pictures of her and we'll be sure to share what pictures we get.
I'm still feeling good, the quesiness and headaches are now rare and my appetite is slowly increasing. From the books I've read, the mother's appetite should steadily increase over the next month as the baby is undergoing major growth in height and weight. Can't wait!
Heres to hoping that our next post has cute pictures! :)
