All good news

We had a great appointment with the OB today. The doctor did another ultrasound and apparently I haven't felt any movement because my placenta is in front of the baby. Darned placenta! The baby looks good, though, and from the looks of it she's a girl! We've seen no evidence of boy parts so far, but we have yet another appointment with yet another doctor the first week in May who should be able to tell us for sure. They'll also be able to do lots of fancy stuff like look at her organs.

I've decided to be pretty candid in this blog, so I'll say it - I've had some issues with my bowels the last few weeks and it suuuucks. The doctor tells me that there is less room in my belly now so things are crammed in, which is making it harder for my bowels to do their job. I've been told to drink at least 64 ounces of water a day, have 4 Tablespoons of flax a day AND eat prunes. I had some interesting results today. I think I'll hold back on the prunes a bit.
