Still no name. We've had a lot of ideas offered up, but so far nothing has really called out to us as being exactly the right name. It could be that one of the names we have considered is the right name, but we just haven't realized it yet.
The websites all talk about how morning sickness is a thing of the past. They lie.
This baby is still VERY active. Mark can feel her moving fairly regularly. She really likes nachos. I always get a dance of joy after I have nachos. So that must mean I need to eat nachos more often, right? For the good of the baby?
We had our Date Night on Saturday. Mexican, of course. And then we went to the baby store and did a little bit of registering for stuff. It was nice to be able to go as just the 2 of us. We saw the crib that NannyJo has, and agreed that it will work for us but that it will not work for a basinette (just won't fit in the space we have between the bed and the dresser). So we looked at some other options. I think we've figured out something that will work for us. And we've got the Amby Baby from when Max was a baby. It has a recall and we didn't get the new part in time for Meggie, but we've got time to get that sorted out now.
I feel like we are getting closer to being ready. We just need to think of a name...

19 weeks
So the Little Grape still has no name, but it has only been a week... If you have an idea, feel free to share it!
Most babies her age are about a half a pound, but I'd guess she is closer to 1 pound given she was 9/10 of a pound last week. She's a little chunky!
She is still VERY active! Very active indeed!
And it is nice to see that the websites all reference tingling and numbness in fingers, since I'm definitely experiencing that!
I've gained 8.5 pounds in 19 weeks, so that's good news.
Everything seems to be going well...

18 Weeks -- Sonogram
First the big news from today's sonogram....
She's a GIRL!!!!!!
A slightly short, slightly chunky girl. :) She looked totally healthy in every single way. We had some really clear images of her. She was moving around (like she does) and the doctor was able to check all of her bones and organs and everything. Her heart looks good. Her head looks good. Her spine looks good. Hands and feet and fingers and toes. Everything looks good.
She's about the size of a baked potato.

17 weeks
We were in San Francisco for the 16 week update. I hear from my favorite 18 week pregnant sister in law that next week we'll be at Sweet Potato! I've got the 18 week sonogram next week so I'll get to see the little grape at the new size. And find out if it is a girl or a boy!
Max is still giving me and then the new baby a hug before I leave Joanna's house in the morning. And he likes to talk to the baby through my belly.
Morning sickness still lingers. But it is better than it once was.
I've gained 6.5 pounds over the first 17 weeks, and we re-started Slimming World this week so hopefully that will help me to be more healthy and to keep the weight gain as slow as is healthy for both of us.
Gestational diabetes test tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to that. But this time tomorrow it will be over! And I will get to see a doctor in the middle of the test. So I'll go, drink the nasty drink, and then have a doctor's appointment to distract me while I wait the hour for my blood draw to see how well I did.
