Another prenatal visit

Last Friday, June 6th, I had a prenatal visit with Dr. Hulsen.  This visit marked the point where Dr. Hulsen starts to measure my belly each month.  I measured 23cm, which was when I was 23 weeks, and I am spot on with development.  The baby's heart rate was in the 140's this time, so lower than it has been in the past appointments.  His heart rate may be lower, but he's very active!!  I've been feeling lots of movement and Nolan has even been able to feel the baby move too.

When I say I have been craving no-bake cookies, I mean it!!  I have made 4 different batches in the past 3 weeks and I devour them before anyone else has a chance to even look at them!!  No-bake cookies have always been a favorite of mine, but I'm OBSESSED!!

Nolan has been very aware and interested in my pregnancy. I was sitting on the couch a couple of weeks ago and out of nowhere Nolan asks, "Mommy does the baby come out of your mouth?"  I started to laugh and replied, "No".  Nolan wasn't satisfied with this answer.  "Where does it come out of?"  I replied, "Where do you think?"  After asking Nolan this question he thought for a few minutes and I started to dread what his answer was going to be.  A huge grin filled Nolan's face and he had a mischievous look in his big brown eyes.  Nolan replied, "Your belly button!!  It opens up and after the baby comes out, the Dr glues it back together!"  Whew, was I relieved.  "Yep, you're right Nolan."  Nolan was proud of himself for coming up with this answer, smiled really big at me, and went back to playing the rest of the night!!
