Not much has happened since my last update.  Baby is doing well with a strong heart beat.  The docs say I should start feeling movement soon, so I’m looking forward to that – I think.  Wes got to go to his first OB appointment — he got to hear the heart beat!

Mom and I have been buying clothes… I know we aren’t supposed to, so we have said that from now on, if we buy anything, (besides necessities like hangers for all the clothes) it has to be books.  Tuesday we went shopping for Maternity clothes…. something I am not excited about.  I just feel fat… I think it’ll be easier once I feel the baby move, but who knows.  Anyway, Old Navy had a lot of maternity clothes that weren’t ugly, and didn’t make me feel huge-mongous.  So I got some stuff from there, and from JC Pennys.

Dad got all of the bead board for the baby’s room.  :D  I can’t wait to start working on it, but we have to clean the studio first.  Adam and Ronni are coming down from Chicago to work on it with Mom.

And man, just lately I can feel a major difference in my hormones!!!  And I don’t really like the ups/downs.

And last but not least, I’m starting to work on some scrapbooking pages.  :D  I’ll put some pictures up when I finish one.

The baby name for Miss Poppy has officially been decided!  However, it will not be revealed until much later. =D  You are all welcome to guess though.

This is Poppy’s hand.  If you can tell, sorry it’s a bit blurry.  But all 5 fingers are there!  This is my favorite of the 6 photos we received at the specialist visit.  I’ll post the rest of the photos when I scan them in, rather than taking pictures of the picture.

But I have to post this next one… I mean, it’s the profile!!

And here’s the profile of Poppy, at 17 weeks.  She is about 1.5 lbs!   So even though I haven’t been gaining too much weight, she has! !

Doctor said my weight is better, since it’s not dropping, so I’m good to go on that issue – thank god.  I’ve been trying to stuff myself with food, both good and bad.  Doesn’t help that I generally can’t stomach any kind of meat – Bleck.

It’s a GIRL!!!!

I got in a bit of trouble Monday from my ob. She said I was not gaining weight, in fact I had lost weight, and that I will have to come in in 2 weeks to see if I’ve gained weight, or else I could end up in the hospital . Not kosher. So I’m eating. I’m eating fatty foods… but not exactly good for me. Anyway, besides that, Little Poppy Seed has a good strong heart beat. =D
