23 Weeks

Kelly & I are 23 weeks today!! Each week is going by so quickly these days. I took today off from work because we had several appointments lined up. This morning I had my check-up with Dr. Walters at 9:00am. Everything checked out great!! At 23 weeks, I have only gained a total of 8 lbs., which is fabulous!! Working out & really watching what I eat seems to be paying off! My goal is to be in the 25-30 lbs. range when Kaitlynn is born! Her heartbeat sounded really good - 156 beats - she was moving around a lot too which I definitely felt, but also heard :) Next month's check-up brings the Glucose Diabetes test, blood work, my GYN yearly check-up, and Kaitlynn's check-up at 27 weeks.... that'll be interesting!!

After the appointment this morning I went and had my car check-up done with Honda. Things looked great with the car so that was positive!! After leaving the Honda dealership, I headed home to spend some time with Willa before meeting Kelly at the Maternal-Fetal Specialist for our 2nd ultra sound. We feel quite lucky that we got to see Kaitlynn again already! Last month they were not able to get her to move around enough to get all the pictures they wanted or needed, so we got to go back!! Everything went great at the ultra sound and it was wonderful as ever seeing our baby girl again! Kaitlynn is 1 lb. 3 oz. and is about 11 inches long. She's got a very stable heartbeat of 156 and is quite active!! The elevator was running slow today so Kelly & I took the stairs - 6 flights of stairs! She was definitely moving around & kicking a lot during the ultra sound - pretty funny! Not too much longer - 17 weeks to go and she'll be at home with us!

Here are some pictures from the ultra sound:
