5 weeks...give or take...to go!

Carrie has had two appointments since the last post...at this stage, she's going every 2 weeks for checkups. The appointment on 7 April, showed that both Carrie and the baby are doing well. The baby was a little over 5 pounds and had a lot of fun doing a kickboxing class during the fetal monitoring session. Unfortunately, the sonogram pictures aren't very clear and good for posting.

Today's (20 April) checkup appointment went well. The baby is approximately 6 pounds and 45 cm (17.5 inches) long. All her dimensions: femur length, abdomen and head circumferences, heart beat, blood flow, etc are all normal. And she's definitely a girl...which is good because we have quite a few dresses ready for her to wear! Unfortunately, Carrie's iron levels and blood pressure are still low, but for the most part, she's still feeling well.

The past few weeks, we've had amazing weather and we've been able to take walks frequently. Carrie finds that she gets tired faster on these walks than before, but it's to be expected at this stage I guess.
