21 weeks

eenie weenie at 21 weeks (1/4/2007). We decided to not find out the gender of our baby if they could avoid it. Everything looked good - heart, lungs, brain. They did find a low-lying placenta and an extra placental lobe. This was a bit surprising. My doctor put me on pelvic rest and no strenuous activity. I was also referred to a perinatal specialist for another ultrasound. My research indicated that low-lying placentas at 20 weeks usually correct themselves as the pregnancy progresses.

I bit the bullet and bought maternity clothes. I had been putting it off as long as possible hoping that I could work from home and stay in my pj's all day long :-) When I got assigned to a gig in NYC that is business dress, I HAD to go shopping, besides the fact that my pants were getting uncomfortable. My mom and I went to the mall and I bought a suit, a pair of pants, and several skirts. Then I found a local consignment shop and bought more outfits for about 1/2 the price of retail. My sister's friend Betty gave me some clothes as well. I rounded out my purchases with some end of season sales at JCPenneys and I think I'm all set for clothes. (I hate to admit it but they are more comfortable).
