Ah, another week passes and another appointment...:)
During this visit, Taylor and I found out that all my tests that were run last week came back normal - which is always a good thing. I am also no longer putting on any weight, but my belly keeps on growing, so I guess that means the rest of my body is losing weight? Hurray? Maybe. Either way, the latest measurement of our little baby shows that she is approximately 2.8 kgs (or 6.2 lbs)...which feels huge! You will see in the latest (and probably last) belly photo. I can't bear to get any more pudgy face pictures of me taken...;) The doc also conducted an exam to check if my pelvis is large enough for the baby to pass through naturally - I won't get into the details, but luckily the doc said that she should come right out! I must be blessed with some birthin' hips...
As for my own body, I am holding up OK. My hands and feet feel a little puffier than normal, but not as much as I expected - my size 7 tennis shoes still fit - YAY! My lower back gets pretty tired by the end of the day, but I still get around fairly easily, so that's a very good thing. Mostly what are sore are the bottoms of my feet, but Jeff takes good care of me, so I'm good. :)
In the latest couple news, Jeff took me to the Kandisky exhibition at the Seoul Arts Center, which was beautiful, but I think we prefered looking at the other Russian art that was exhibited with Kandisky - particularly the oil-on-canvas realist painters...(I don't know how to speak art, but it really was beautiful). We also celebrated a special Valentine's day dinner at home a day early...:) That's when the latest belly photo was taken.
Well, Jeff and I are very ready for little Taylor to join us, but we're hoping she holds out until the due date...maybe. I'm ready for her to come right now! :) But it'll be good for her to come right on time...let's just hope she doesn't get too much larger...the belly just can't get too much larger!
Another appointment next Monday...more updates to follow. :)
Love,
Rosa and Jeff
