I knew i was getting bigger but taking a belly picture made me really realize how much it has changed in the past 5 weeks. My last post and picture was at 23 weeks and as of yesterday i am 28 weeks. I had my monthly doctor appt. on Monday for my glucola test. I passed, thank goodness. It was really scary going to test sugar levels after having eaten way to much and everything lacking nutrition value. Ha so i passed but also put on 8 pounds in one month... not too happy about that. I really need to try and eat better especially in these last 3 months.
Taylor and i also decided to get another ultrasound today. Our last ultrasound was not a very pleasant experience. The lady who did it hardly talked to us, we had no idea what she was doing, and it left us unsatisfied and a little worried since she hadn't reassured us of any of the typical first baby questions. Little Lily, Molly, Nora, or Daphne (these are the names we are thinking about) was so cute. Its amazing how much has changed in the 10 weeks from our last ultrasound. She was very active the entire time which made it a little difficult to capture some pictures, but we loved seeing her again. She loves putting her hands in front of her face. 90% of the time half her face was hidden by her hands. I don't know how a dentist dad will feel about her sucking her thumb, especially since she is starting so early. Profile pictures are the best. She has the cutest little profile complete with full pouty lips, button nose, and her moms chin. We are more excited for the arrival now than ever.
Taylor and i spent New years in Irvine with his family. We went to a restaurant in Laguna Beach at a hotel called Surf and Sand. It is a beautiful hotel and the food was very delicious and like nothing I've ever experienced before. It was a five coarse meal. First was an light appetizer called Fois Grois (we found out a little too late that this meant duck liver. In the description it definitely said nothing like that but now i can say i have eaten it and will never again). Then the real appetizer of shrimp and crab cakes, delicious. Third was our salad which was manly just leaves and a light dressing. Fourth was our main dish. I got the Fillet Mignon. I can never pass up a good steak. Lastly was the dessert. I had the passion fruit brulee. It was by far the best dessert i have ever had. Well now you can see why i put on 8 pounds in one month.
This new years wasn't as eventful as past New Years because we had a flight to San Fran early the next morning and had to be at the airport by 6 thirty. So Taylor and Lauren stayed up in the media room to watch the ball drop, while i laid in bed half asleep watching the ball drop, and Bev and Scott fast asleep in their beds. Ha But at least i was awake to welcome 2010.
This is our new home as of July. This is in Union Square which is the heart of downtown San Fran as well as the shopping district. We were only there for 2 days and a night. It was mainly to see the city before it was our home. It is like nowhere I've ever been before. The streets are impressively clean. There is so much to do while your there. Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz, Golden Gate Bridge, just to name a few. Taylor and i definitely want to take advantage of the surroundings while we are there. We want to drive through the redwoods, go to Tahoe, Santa Cruz, and Monteray Bay. I'm definitely nervous to be moving there. This year brings a lot of change for us, a baby and a big move. I know there will be an adjustment period but I'm sure I'll love it in no time.
That pretty much sums up the past month. It is very crazy that we will have a baby in less than 3 months and be in Utah only 5 more months.
