7th Appointment

I’m 29 weeks today!  I can’t believe how close it’s getting.  Just 77 more days!  I’m so excited!  I know Casey is too.  I love it when he rubs my belly and talks to Brooke.  It’s so cute!  So, yesterday I went to the doctor again.  It was just another appointment like the last few have been where we listen to Brooke’s heartbeat (156 bpm) and I talk to the doctor for a second.  He felt my tummy and said that “the baby seems to be growing nicely.”  This time I also had to gulp down 10 oz. of this sugar water and get my blood drawn an hour later.  Hopefully the results of that test will come back ok.    I’ve gained a total of 25 pounds now and with 11 more weeks to go I think I’m going to break out of the healthy weight gain category.  Oh well!  After he told me that he wanted to see me back in 2 weeks I said “to do another ultrasound???”  He just smiled and said “that sounds like a great idea!”  That was the most exciting part of the whole appointment!  So, July 20^th Casey and I will get to see our little angel!  This time we are going to bring our video camera and tape the ultrasound so everyone can see it!  I think I need to start a countdown for this too!  J

Love,

Brooke’s Mommy
