On Thursday we had doctors appointments most of the day. Jessi was able to take a personal day so we were at the doctor, hospital and then the dentist! The checkup went well. Ela is measuring perfectly as far as her fundal height(from head to rump) and Jessi lost .5pds in two weeks. It is ok that she lost weight as everything is the correct sise as far as the baby and the belly. Jessi starting walking alot more again over the past few weeks which the weight loss is most likley attributed to.(Trust us...its not due to a lack of eating ..heheh) Overall she has gained 12 pds which the average is around 13-17 at this point. Jessi had the Gestational Diabetes test done. It was SO gross. They took blood, had her drink a bottle of a sweet orange flat soda drink and then took blood three more times each hour. A four hour doctors appointment! Then we went to the hospital to be tested for the RH- blood factor in order to get the Rohgham shot. Once confirmed again(Just in case her body was already having a reaction) we went back to the doctor to get the shot. And boy was it a shot!! Tomasz saw the needle and did not say much until after the shot was done. It took about two minutes to get the shot injected as the needle was very big and the serum was thick! A shaken up Tomasz and a Jessi with a sore butt finally headed to the dentist.Everything went great and Jessi has healthy teeth! It is very common during pregnancy to experience gum problems, but none here! :) The next doctor appointment is in two weeks. Since we are in the third trimester, going forward Jessi will go to the doctor every two weeks until Ela arrives.
We had so much fun with Lauren and Iman over the weekend! Lets just say being tourists in our own city is exhausting! We probably bet that we walked at least 15 miles this weekend! We saw the empire state building, central park, 5th avenue, Coney Island,Wall Street, Hoboken and so many more places! Really sad to see Lauren go home but Susan is coming this weekend!! Cant wait and love having visitors!
Check out our pics and of course the Ela bump!
Looking forward to seeing Susan this weekend! Hopefully it wont be too cold! Jessi just popped off the button of her jacket on the way home today! Guess that means the belly is getting bigger!

Jessi, good for you for walking and keeping your weight in check. You'll be happy you did! I ate fairly healthy (not at all towards the end thought) and walked alot. Now, just 7 weeks after I gave birth, I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I wish the same for you! I love reading your updates!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly!! How is motherhood! Emmie is SO cute! :) How did you get back to your pre-pregnancy weight so fast? I am still really enjoying pregnancy, just anxious to meet Ela!
