I had an appointment with Dr. Feldman yesterday. She says the baby and I look great. He has a nice strong heart beat and she is finally happy with my weight gain, hooray! She did mention that I'm measuring big, but have been from the beginning. She thinks that it's just the way I'm carrying , however, I will be going in for an ultrasound in a couple weeks just to double check. Starting now, I will be going in every two to three weeks until he's born. My next appointment is May 10 and I will be taking a glucose test for gestational diabetes, which is standard. Otherwise I have been officially cleared to fly and am really excited about my upcoming trip to Arizona.
I have been trying to make the most of my time before our little miracle arrives. Will and I met up after work and went for a lovely walk through Central Park. The weather was simply beautiful and the park was stunning with all the blooming trees. I've included a few photos below from the park, too beautiful not to share. It was perfect park weather, Will even bought me an ice cream cone - so good!
I am finding that my appetite is growing and my desire for Red Vine licorice is still holding strong. I have had to limit my intake because I can easily go through a family size bag in a day. Other than that, I've been mostly wanting fruits and veggies, with the occasional chocolate cake. No super crazy food cravings as of yet.
Will is the most loving and caring husband. He brought me fresh flowers the other day just because. And he is over the moon excited about the baby. He keeps saying he can't wait until he's here... I kindly remind him that he can. I don't think he fully grasps how completely our lives are going to change once he is born. I am certain I don't. It is moving to see him so in love with our son before he is even born.
