I had my monthly Dr. visit yesterday. It was very routine. My Quad Screen Test came back negative, so all the testing for genetic disabilities came back negative - No Amnio for Me! Thank the Lord, cause I am not one for needles! So everything seems to be normal...I imagine if it weren't they would have let me know. I have gained 6 pounds just since my last visit! WOW! So that's a total of 12 pounds! Today I am 5 months exactly. Owen is so active! He is constantly moving around. When the doctor was trying to get a read on the heart beat yesterday, she kept laughing b/c he wouldn't stay still long enough for her to get a long read...of course she finally did...but it was funny, and boy was he kicking then too! It was a happy visit! My next visit I have to have a glucose test...yuck...more blood drawn and a nasty drink! But it's all for the best! I Can NOT wait to start on the room! We are waiting for our tax return before we start. We also are waiting on the bedding b/c we want to match colors as best as possible! I am so excited about that! I love redoing rooms and this one is going to be so much fun! I finally picked out an outfit for him to come home in. It's just a soft cotton outfit that is light blue and white stripes with a little hood to match! It may be too warm for the hood, but we will see!
So, as of right now, Owen is about the size of a Papaya. He should be about 10.5 inches long and should weigh about 12.7 oz. He should now be able to hear noises from outside the womb. His face is fully formed. He is also beginning to settle into sleeping patterns. It's not too consistent, but he's getting there. Yesterday was different...I don't think he was still one time during the day. But most days he should be sleeping about 12 to 14 hours! Talk about a good nights rest!
