As my pregnancy journal tells me - in the next few weeks, there should be some weight gain that takes place. I'm absolutely starting to notice it in some areas. Especially after a big meal :) Last night Lenny surprised me with an amazing date out to Ruth's Chris. We had a great time. As these weeks start going by, we talk about how we really need to take advantage of "date night" while we can. Because in less than 6 months, we are not going to be alone - ever! :) Can I please have a total pregnant moment and tell you everything we ate last night? Because it. was. so. good. We started off with the fried calamari. YUM. I of course didn't know if calamari was on the okay list to eat so I had Lenny look it up for me. Then I had one of the best filet's I have ever had. They serve it to you so hot and on a plate that is 500 degrees - it was sizzling when it arrived. We had creamed spinach and sweet potatoes for our sides. And I got a side of Bearnaise sauce for my steak. Everything was so delicious! My steak was to die for. However; I did have to send it back because it was more on the rare side than the baby needed. I mean-- Me?? I LOVE rare steak. But right now I have to eat them cooked medium and as sad as it was for me to send it back, I had to. Lenny had called up to the restaurant and told them he was taking me out to dinner because I was pregnant and he wanted to do something special and the waiter and the staff -- everyone who came by apparently knew because they all were saying "congratulations!" -- even the chef came out and introduced himself. It was wild. I am a very very lucky girl. I will say it over and over in this blog I'm sure but I have the best husband a girl could ask for. He's my best friend and we are partners in everything together. I know he always has my back and he takes care of me more than he ever needs to. He loves me even when I don't deserve to be loved. And most importantly - He is going to be an INCREDIBLE father to our child. It gives me chills to even think about. If I am half the mother that he will be a father, we are in good shape :)
This week went by fairly quickly. I had two doctors appointments this week. The first being Tuesday - I went to the dermatologist. All clear! I go twice a year because, I'm fair skinned and have lots of freckles and am a little paranoid. I told the Dr. (who Lenny is also a patient of) - that our baby is most definitely going to be a future patient of his. He advised we keep baby Shelor out of the sun as much as possible - or put on lots of sunscreen! :) hahaha.
I went to my ob's office on Wednesday morning - they took more blood to test for spina bifida. I also got to hear the baby's heartbeat (best sound in the world I tell you!) - it was 155 - perfect! :) I also got to talk to my OB for a little bit, he said everything was looking great. It's always nice to hear that. Lenny and I will go back n the 18th of this month and get our 18 week ultra sound. This is when we "could" find out the sex of the baby, but we are not! This might be a tough appointment! Wish us luck!
Today we will be heading up to Mimi and Papa's house for Lisa Marie's birthday! It's always nice to get out of Charlotte for a couple of days.
Until next week!
Xoxo,
Sara
