Alien baby stikes again!

I'm excited and amazed to see that when Nahum kicks or moves around, we can see it from the outside of my belly now! I have felt him move all around my stomach which is new as of last week. I usually only feel him move in my lower abdomen area, but now feel him all over and even above my belly button too!

According to the weekly email updates I get from Kaiser and DivineCaroline.com, he is measuring 14 1/2 inches long and about 2 pounds already! WOW right?!

Our next scheduled appointment is on Monday, March 8th!

Our new car!

We are so happy and blessed to have the means to buy a new car! We purchased a 2009 Kia Sorento yesterday from Enterprise Car Sales in Fresno and LOVE LOVE LOVE it so far!!! We're excited to take it out of town this weekend and really test drive it!

25 week ultrasound

Yesterday we had our 25 week ultrasound appointment with the Genetic Radiologist Specialist at the Clovis Kaiser.

Dr. Turocy had all of Nahum's parts and organs re-measured. We saw that his right kidney was still enlarged, BUT towards the end of the appointment he noticed that perhaps that kidney has 2 "collecting systems" instead of just 1 and maybe that is why it is enlarged. So, it felt like maybe that was an acceptable explanation for why his kidney was larger than normal, which makes me feel better about it.

Other than that, everything else is measuring normally and we were excited to see him again!

2/5/10 Dr. appointment update

We had another routine doctors appointment on Friday and everything went really well! It was very quick too. My blood pressure always seems to be better when I lay on my left side and they take it that way. So, that's normal. The doc measured my uterus and that is at normal size and Nahum's heart beat was normal too! I've officially gained 10 pounds (since pre-pregnancy weight) and he said that was pretty normal too.

All in all, it was nice to hear so many encouraging words and we are happy we didn't have to be there for longer than 1/2 an hour!

We have another ultrasound appointment this Thursday, Feb. 11th with the Genetic Radiologist-specialist. We have been continuing to pray that Nahum's right kidney has not grown any bigger and that his left kidney has caught up and that they are both normal. We'll see! I'll keep you all posted.

Thanks for your prayers for us & Nahum too!

Daddy Moment

Just a quick YAY to say that on Monday morning, Steven felt my tummy and experienced his first Daddy kick! I am thrilled because I've felt Nahum kick a LOT lately and for a while now, and now Steven has felt it too!
