20 Week Check-up

I've gained a total of 8lbs, the baby looked fantastic and is at no risk for Downs Syndrome, Spinabifida, etc. My Anemia on the other hand is not looking good at all! I'm Anemic on my own, but this baby has caused my levels to decrease that much more, and they are way lower than acceptable. I have been taking an iron supplement daily since finding out about my pregnancy, but that is not enough...I now have to take them 3 times a day! Fun stuff! I hope it works and I don't have to resort to other forms of treatment.

The Nursery has been painted pink, and Karl and his friend Adam will start putting up the wainscoting on Sunday. It's nice to see progress being made! The crib should come in sometime by the end of December, if not sooner. Now all's we need is a dresser and we are set! We were able to score a nice glider & ottoman from Craigs List for $150. The ones that we were looking at were $700+! I of course prefer the fully upholstered ones (look like a normal chair), and those cost the most! =o) Can't blame me for good taste! But we were happy to find the bargain.

We went to Los Angeles on Sunday to see Wicked with my best friend Anaya and her husband Greg. It was a really great show and I recommend it to all! It was a long day for me and I was excited to get home and rest.

I'll leave you with a picture of Chloe testing out the baby's swing. We put some batteries in it last night to test it out, and thought Chloe would be a good stand-in for the baby since she weighs about 7 1/2 lbs. She really liked it and did not want to get out. You should have seen the look on her little face when we turned it off! Poor thing!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Love,
K&K and Baby A
