Week 24: Blue Tomatos

This week we went to the doctor's and all is as it should be. His little heart was beating 140 bpm. She found a spot right at the heart so we could hear the valves contracting too - it was really neat!

They gave me my sugar drink for next month. I took orange over fruit punch. I never have liked fruit punch. So in January we have our test for gestational diabetes and anemia. I also took a breathing test because I have asthma. I hate those because the tube you have to blow into so huge in diameter it's hard to get any force behind it. But that turned out OK.

According to What to Expect, Shrimpy is about 8.5 inches long - like a piece of paper! But his postage would be tons as he's gained on average 6 oz from last week. He is gaining fat and filling out. He has eyelashes and eyebrows and even a bit of hair - even though right now it has no pigment so it's white.

I too am becoming rounder. I have a red sweater and Scott says it makes me look like a tomato. But since he's a boy I found a picture of blue tomatoes.

Cravings: Cheese, Chinese Food



Funny Stories: I had made some cinnamon rolls this morning and was pulling them out of the oven when my newly klutzy hands dropped the whole pan upside-down on the floor. For some reason this was so tragic I just sat on the floor and cried. But later on I bought another can of rolls so I can try again tomorrow, with a better grip!
