16 Weeks, Kicking and Tumbling |

We finally told the parents about Snowflake. We bought digital keychains and preloaded them with Snowflake's ultrasound pictures. We gave them to our moms the night before the Promise Walk, and told them they were belated Mother's Day presents. After some confusion, they eventually figured out the ultrasounds were not of Blue, but of their next grandchild. It was a very happy weekend. We saw Dr. Tabsh last week who basically said he did not need to see me weekly anymore. He wants to see me monthly, and have Dr. Johnson follow me every two weeks. Yay for fewer doctor's appointments. Boo to Lovenox! My belly is even more bruised than the last picture I uploaded. I look like a Dalmation with freckles from all the remnants of the needles poking my belly. Maybe I can get Frank to take another picture of it. In the mean time, Snowflake has been more active. I started feeling some kicks a week ago. At the doctor's appointment Snowflake kicked the ultrasound head really hard. I have started to notice that after large kicks I won't feel anything for a long time. I guess the baby is pooped from the hard work. Earlier this week as I was giving myself the Lovenox shot, Snowflake kicked the site of the shot. Frank said Snowflake was trying to defend mommy. I didn't feel the baby until much later that day. It was a strong kick so the baby probably used a lot of energy for that. I am also feeling more than just kicking. With Blue, I was able to feel when he was tossing and turning and doing somersaults, so I'm pretty familiar with the different feelings. Today I felt Snowflake doing somersaults. But only for a minute. Now the baby is quiet again, probably asleep. Monday is the next appointment with Dr. Johnson. Let's hope we find out if we have to buy blue snowflakes, or pink snowflakes. |
