I have a doctor's appointment today at 3:30. I'm expecting the same as last time: pee in the cup, find out how much weight I've gained, slip into depression mode because of the weight I've gained, ask the doctor random questions, and then attempt to hear the heartbeat again. Since I'll be 15 weeks I assume that we'll actually be able to hear it this time. I doubt I'll post this until tonight so results from the doctor's appointment will be added on before then.
We had a fun Memorial Day weekend. Cookout at the in-laws on Saturday, Cookout/housewarming at the last minute on Sunday night, went on a 12 mile bike ride along the oceanfront Monday morning, and went shopping for maternity clothes for the first time. The women at Motherhood Maternity may have been the nicest people on Earth. I have never shopped in a store where the people were so helpful but in a way that didn't make me want to punch them in the face. You know those sales people; the ones who follow you around practically stalking you. Yuck. I avoided the shirt section since my shirts are not the problem. They had a buy two, get one free sale on pants so I had to check it out. I ended up getting a pair of jean shorts, casual cargo capri/pants, and 'work' capri pants. I can't wait to wear them because they look completely normal except for the fact that they fit! They were reasonably priced too. Just like regular clothes. That sounds stupid but I always thought that Motherhood Maternity would be expensive. I'm a little disappointed that I won't be able to wear them after the next few months. With that, my 'no longer fits' pile grew a bit more over the weekend. Sigh. I'm still not showing, really. Maybe a little, tiny bit here and there. That could just be a food baby poking through after I eat though. Ha.
News from the Womb
-baby is 'breathing' the amniotic fluid, which apparently helps its' lungs develop.
-its' legs are now longer than its' arms (that's a plus)
-the eyelids are still unable to open but it can sense light.
-taste buds are forming. I bet that amniotic fluid doesn't taste that great. If its' breathing the fluid in, I bet it's getting a good taste of fluid. Gross. That may be one of the reasons we don't remember being in the womb.
-Last but not least, this is the earliest (so the book says) that you may have a chance to tell what the baby's sex is. I know that I've mentioned in a prior post the women online who claim their ultrasound tech told them the sex and 11 and 12 weeks. (cough, cough, bullshit!)
