Tahra and I made a visit to the Doctor yesterday for a routine checkup. The results of our efforts to have Tahra eat all her food were evident, because she gained 7 1/2 lbs since last visit, weighing in at 139.5 lbs. We listened to his heart tones, spoke with Dr. Ikbal for just a few minutes, and were out of there in no time.
He has been very active for the entire pregnancy, but as he grows, his movements are more apparent every day. I felt him kick for the first time last week, and Tahra says that he is quick to let her know when he is hungry throughout the day. He really enjoys when Tahra goes to prenatal yoga where the intstructor will play a gong to enhance the relaxing atmosphere (don’t ask me), and while this is often a little unnerving to the mothers, the babies love it!
Everyone will be happy to know that so far we have avoided being infected by the swine flu, even though everyone else on the planet has it. We are still waiting to close on our new house, so keep your fingers crossed that it will happen this week.
