23 Week appointment

Had our 23 week appt yesterday. Baby is doing well and growing. Her heartbeat is still in the 140's like usual. Next appt we will be doing the gestational diabetes test on June 4th. Tiff and Jen were nice enough to sort through our baby clothes while they were here to tell us were we needed to get a few more things. I guess I'm drawn to bigger clothes as we are short on newborn clothes and then again at 9 months. But its good to know were to focus our efforts on.

And I've been requested by and anonymous party to ask if anyone has any questions about the pregnany/baby and such. So feel free to post any questions and I'll answer them on the next post!

Anonymous party checking in....

Okay, just a few things (for now).

1. What is the official stance on ~headbands~? Yes, she is allowed to wear them or Hell No, not my kid. Necessary information for shopping purposes. (Remember to be flexible in the case of Hell No, she may be bald!)

2. Stuffed animals? Yay or don't overload us too much? (As the owner of 3 large stuffed animal items, be careful what you wish for!)

3. Are you encouraging full name usage and avoiding any nicknames? ~Scar~ does have a certain ring to it! Hey, if she is some tough tattooed chick when she grows up, she'll thank you for the name.

4. Are there any restrictions on toy buying, i.e. would you prefer toys that don't include plastics that could possibly turn her into reptile or are you in the camp of hey, it's all good for her immune system?

5. Open question, allowing for any random information you would like to provide like ~no princess crap~ (oh wait, that is my bias, skip over that if princess crap is okay) heh...if you would like to encourage gender free toys...if you want to make sure she has an anatomically correct baby doll...if you have decided to only dress her in pink, purple, and subtle shades of pale yellow....whatever other tidbits of info we should know!

Thank you for your time and attention to these important and life altering questions.
