Week 25

We had our monthly check up last Friday. Baby is doing well and my bump is expanding! We start going to the OB every two weeks now! While at the doctors, he mentioned that the County was holding a free swine flu clinic for pregnant women today. Yay! I rushed over to the clinic to get in line. I've never seen so many pregnant mommies in one location! We were also surrounded by the media. It so happens that I was on the news later that evening, shown standing in line to get my shot.

Here are belly shots Week 25. Thanks mom for the lovely dress!

Week 23

Rob and I just celebrated our 3rd Anniversary! We spent a lovely weekend together in Newport, RI. The Fall colors were beautiful! It was nice to relax, tour the mansions, eat good food and just be together.

Baby has been very active! He partakes in nightly Tae Bo session, with frequent jabs, turns and kicks. Rob just recently started feeling the kicks.

I am really starting to show:

Week 23

It's a Boy!

On September 24th, we found out we are having a boy-yay! We were both thrilled to hear the news. As tears of joy rolled down my cheek, Rob was giving me the high five! What a great moment! We also found out the there is a slight abnormality with the umbilical cord. Typically, the umbilical cord has 3 vessels; one to carry nutrients in and two to carry waste away. Baby Cerm's cord only has 2 vessels. According to the Doctor, this happens in about 1% of pregnancies. Potential problems might include a smaller baby and heart and/or kidney problems. The doctor did a thorough analysis of the baby's heart and kidneys and found no problems. Baby Cerm's measurements all look good. Phew!

Here's an update on my baby bump:
