It's been so long since I've updated

Sorry for that.  I just haven't been in the mood to be honest.  I have met with my new OB and I love her so far.  She has a very wonderful bedside manner and seems to be a pleasure to be around.  The only down side that I'm not guaranteed that she will be there at my delivery since it's a group practice.  I do, however, get a chance to meet all the doctors so I can familiarize myself with them and know the OB who will be delivering me if it's not her.  During my visit she asked if I minded having another scan done.  Of course I don't any chance to see Ethan is very much welcomed.  So I did schedule an anatomy scan for the follow week, which has come and gone.  See how badly I've been neglecting this place?  She did measured my uterus as was happy with it's size for 19 weeks along.  She also listened to the heart beat but I forgot to ask the rate.  It was nice and strong.  She commented on how wonderful I looked for 19 weeks also.  My weight was OK too.  I've gained 8lbs so far.  She said she would reserve the poking and prodding for the next appointment which is in 2 weeks.  Another downside was that she had yet to receive my medical records from the last OB.  When I explained why I changed, she understood and said she didn't blame me.  She was going to check her main office for the records or have an employee track them down from my old OB.  I'll finally get the results of all that testing I had done between 11 & 16 weeks.


Now for the anatomy scan.  All went well and he's still a boy.  The tech was shocked by how much of a boy he was. LOL  My son appears to be well endowed.  Daddy is proud.  So is my mom, she was proud to announce that it runs on both sides of the family. lmfao  It was so adorable watching him be scanned.  He kept moving around and running from the tech and when he got mad he would punch up at my belly. The tech did get most of the important things looked at.  He has 10 fingers and toes.  His head, brain and spine look great.  His kidneys look good.  He has nice long legs and arms, even if he looked like he was scratching his butt. lol  He also put his hand up against his head as if complaining that we're not leaving him alone.  The only thing is that he was stubborn, like his parents, and wouldn't flip over so she couldn't get good measurements of his heart.  Kevin did the same thing to me.  I'm going back next week to try again for that one.


All in all that's about everything.  I'm doing good, he's growing just fine.  Kicking up a storm and daddy was finally able to feel it.  Ethan does enjoy playing games with people.  I'll have them come feel when he starts up, but the moment he feels a hand he stops.  Once the person gives up, he starts again. lol Tomorrow I'll be 21 weeks and half way done with this pregnancy. 


One last thing, don't forget to play my ExpectNet game.  I'm most likely giving away a small gift card from Amazon.com for the person who gets the closest guess.  You can find a link next to the game on my side dashboard.  Have fun.
