Last OBGYN's appt. A ultima visita ao medico

During this last appt. they performed a "screening" sonogram which looked at all her  major body parts (spine, hands, face, etc.).  Thanks to God all  is looking normal.  Although she was at a breech position, my doctor said that is normal. Apparently she doesn't have Spina Bifida or cleft palate (I really hope not!).  She is about 12 oz, which places her at the 70th percentile weight for gestational age (she is somewhat heavier than other babies at 5 months gestation)!!!  She was too curled up so we don't know her length.  She was moving and even said hi by showing us her little hand!!  It was awesome!  Nelson felt her move last night since he had his hand on my belly.  I also felt something!  It is an amazing feeling!

O ultrasom mostrou bastante da Gabi esta vez.  No vimos sua maozinha, seu rostinho, e cada parte principal do corpo!  Foi 1 emocao total!  Gracas a Deus tudo parece estar normal!  Ela esta pesando umas 360 gm (quase 1 libra) o que e 1 pouco mais q a maioria dos bebes de 5 meses de gestacao pesam!  O medico disse q tudo esta otimo!  Nos sentimos ela se mexer ontem a noite pela primeira vez!  Foi 1 emocao total!!  E realment uma bencao ter um bebe dentro de vc mesma!!

HALF WAY THERE!! METADE DA GRAVIDEZ

I am sorry for those of you who checked the website yesterday looking for a new post... The day went by really fast and it was time for me to go to bed when I realized I had not posted anything new... Sorry, the pregnant lady had to rest...
I can't believe I am 1/2 way through this pregnancy - time goes by so fast!!  I will complete my 20th week this Wednesday!  Check out this video that I saw on www.babycenter.com (a very neat website that sends me emails weekly about my pregnancy stage):

This past Friday, Nelson and I started our baby registry - I never thought that would be so hard: Babies"R"us is so huge and has so many options for everything... They gave me a huge shopping list of things that Gabi will "supposedly" need during her 1st year of life.  I really need to sit down with someone who can tell me what we really need/must have before we can complete this registry...

Now I have started looking into birthing options.  I have a lot to read and research in order to decide if I want a natural birth and if I need a dula.  The information out there is overwhelming.  We plan to visit a birthing center and the hospital where my OGYN delivers soon (Denton Presbyterian).

By the way, thank you much for the comments and tips - I really appreciate them.  I love the elastic idea on my paints!

I will be going to my 5th OBGYN visit this Friday - Thus, I will have new sonogram pictures by Sunday!!  I will also update my own belly pictures then.
