Today we had a doctor's appointment. It went a lot better than the first one. This doctor was actually in an office and not what appeared to be a house. There is also an ultra-sound in the office (which I guess is rare in Brazil). The doctor spoke English, although not as well as I wanted, but I guess I need to lower my standards a little. She actually touched me, and took my blood pressure and weight (64.3 kilos or 141 pounds). I really thought that I would weigh a lot more. It seemed that over night I went from "Am I really pregnant? Where is this baby?" to " Oh my gosh I am a whale." I dont have the baby bump, I am just looking a little chubbier in the belly. I still fit in my old clothes but I dont like the way I look. I have always been a jeans and tank top girl, even in the winter, but now I have the desire to just wear a trash bag. Shopping is not my favorite thing in the world, and I was hoping to wait until July, when I am in California, but I may have to go do a little maternity clothes shopping here.
We have another appointment on Wednesday. This one is our 16 week ultra-sound, where we can hopefully find out if we are having a boy or girl. We are excited of course. It is always exciting to see the baby. I am also excited to feel it move, which I should feel in a few weeks. My sister says around week 18. I think I feel little things, but I cant be sure.
I will update all of you next Wednesday! Have a nice weekend!
Love,
Kathy, Leto and Baby!
The first little bit is the worst for clothes. Too big for regular clothes, but not ready for maternity. Then you get like me and some of your maternity clothes are too small. Yuck! Can't wait to hear what you are having!
