8 Month Checkup
I had my 8 month sonogram today and everything is looking great. She is now weighing in at 4lb 4 oz, which is quite the growth spurt from 4 weeks ago when she was 2.5 lbs.
The doctor checked her umbilical cord, heart, stomach, and thigh bones. She wasn't moving much but that resulted in hardly any pictures because she had her back towards the camera. I suppose she was camera shy today. Her foot was nestled up in my ribs again, above her head, where she likes to keep it.
Overall we are doing well. My nightly shots aren't getting easier as I've had to move towards my sides instead of the middle of my belly cause it's too big. She has got the hiccups several times which is a neat feeling. The non-stress tests that I'm doing twice a week are getting easier. I've discovered if I eat something and drink a protein shake before the test then she'll sit still for the monitors. Justin and I have signed up for a 4 week "Baby Prep" class that starts next month as well as a tour of the hospital where I plan to deliver.
