New Update on Connor

Since I didn't have much time before Christmas leave to fill everyone in on new developments with Connor I am going to combine multiple updates into one!

December 17, 2009: Prenatal Appointment

• Connor's Heartbeat: 147 beats
• Connor's Growth: 1 full week ahead of normal (hopefully this means he will be ready early rather than that he will be a gigantic baby)
• My vitals were all perfectly normal
• All ultrasound results came back normal as well will all ligaments attached and his organs working properly
• My weight gain is on track even though people think I am too small.  They only anticipated me to reach 140 and I am at 132 now.  So I will go over the projection which is totally okay with the docs

Traveling:

• The trip to Missouri was a little strenuous with the dogs and our luggage packed in my little eclipse.  My patience ran thin multiple times but we did make it in one piece without me kicking anyone out on the highway.  I had issues with cramping legs during the travel but once I was able to walk around for awhile I felt much better.  I felt like I did major workouts for a few days after the fact though.
• The trip back to Texas was much easier on me.  My body didn't ache as much and the dogs basically slept the entire time.  They were all tuckered out from the two weeks worth of excitement.  Not to mention the weather was beautiful when we arrived!

Next Appointment: 

• I go back for my next regular checkup on Jan. 14.  I will then schedule more ultrasounds and routine testing for Connor.  I will post updates about that appointment as soon as I have a chance!
