Doctor Visit #4


We had another doctor's appointment on Monday July 21. Adam was writing his P.Eng test so I was on my own for this one.

Met yet another doctor at the clinic and she gave me the results of my latest blood work. My blood sugars are fine (so no gestational diabetes - yippee) and she said that my iron stores are great and to keep up whatever I'm doing.

I gained about 5 lbs since my last appointment (which is a bit much she said) but I am also still measuring big - so the Dr said that the baby must have had a growth spurt and that makes the weight make sense. I'm still within a normal weight gain so nothing to worry about there...it's all belly!

To show the growth spurt you can see in our weekly belly pictures me at 21 weeks and me at 26 weeks in the same outfit...we're not sure how much bigger the belly can or will get!!!

We go back to the doctor for a shot since my blood type is negative in 2 weeks (Aug 8) and we have our next ultrasound on Aug 11 to check on the position of my placenta. We are very excited to see baby Byrne again. We get to feel (and see) her kicks everyday but another glimpse before the big day will be awesome!

Visit from Dad/Stampede Fever


My dad was here for a visit for the first week of July. We had great weather and got to see just about everything! Dad really enjoyed his first Calgary Stampede experience and we enjoyed it too! As you can see from our pictures we all had a great time :) Adam even wore a cowboy hat to the parade!!

That is not Adam on the buckin' bronco but that is me sitting on a saddled scud missile - how many pregnant women have done that?!?!?
