Well today I went in to see the Dr. for a routine pregnancy checkup. Kayla was happy to have her Grandma Johnson come and stay with her so she didn't have to go with me. Well actually I was as happy as she was because I was able to think while I talked to the Dr.
It was dissappointing that we still couldn't hear the baby's heartbeat. Dr. McLeod said that I am always stingy with sharing my baby's heartbeats with him. He wasn't worried about it and said that next time we're sure to hear it. (I think he said that last time too!). I'm 12 1/2 weeks pregnant and I can sure feel it. I have lost weight but my clothes are shrinking. The baby should be about 3" long now and looks much more human than in the beginning. I think it is interesting that the baby can now cry (silently) and can feel pain. Hands have feeling now and thumb sucking is common even at three inches long. How tiny must that little thumb be?
I will go back to the Dr. on Dec. 31st and I better hear the heartbeat then.
The Johnson household is back into fullswing activity this week with appointments and committments everyday. Greg has been working long hours. Even our 4 month old calf has been busy turning all the water faucets on. I guess its time for her to join the herd of horses. That will keep her busy for sure.
This week we are busy preparing for our Christmas musical at church that we will perform sunday morning. We have worked long and hard at it and we are excited because we will also have new carpet and pews in our church by this sunday. If you live in the area be sure to come watch this sunday at 11am.
I think its naptime for a worn out 16 month old sitting next to me so I'm off to get her to bed and who knows I might take a nap myself.
