Checkups, Stress Tests and Busy Week

Lori had her two week checkup and baby stress test yesterday. Everything went well and Lori and Ty are both happy and healthy. Lori has gained 6 pounds in the last 2 weeks. The doctor was not happy with that, but to Lori's defense the appointment was late afternoon after Lori had consumed 2 meals and 2 snacks. We are hoping it is lower next week!

Lori is now down to weekly visits with a baby stress test before or after every checkup. The test is simply two monitors placed on Lori's belly and she is asked to press a button every time Ty moves. Ty's heart rate is monitored and printed out. This is being done basically because of little things that have come up throughout her pregnancy.

Tonight (Tuesday) we go to Breast Feeding Class. *laughing* Dad is not thrilled about this and getting instructions on breast feeding, but he is going to be supportive of his lovely wife and son! :-)

Thursday morning we go travel to Harrisburg for one last sonogram examining the two vessel umbilical cord. Lori and I are really looking forward to get a few new pics of Ty and seeing his approximate weight!

Will post again on Thursday or Friday with updated news!
