6 months and counting!!

Well, here is the 6 month belly shot and it's feeling pretty big right about now. You can see the roundness starting to really take shape! Random strangers are now asking me about when I am due and a couple have gone in for the belly rub! Seth asks me if this bothers me, and so far not really. No one creepy has tried to touch me, mostly just older grandma's! Baby girl is kicking a lot now and Seth has been able to feel it. She is maybe going to be athletic unlike her mom and like her daddy, as sometimes it feels like she is kicking and punching with all 4 limbs at the same time! Maybe she'll be a dancer or gymnast?? Otherwise, I am feeling well and still very lucky in my pregnancy, only experiencing a little back pain here and there. About 2 weeks ago, Seth and I went to our new Dr. for a check up. We switched because on our 2nd visit to our last Dr. we were informed that their office does rotations for after business hours with regards to delivering the babies and that there was a chance that it would be one of the other 10 Dr.'s in the office that would be on call the night I go in labor. They suggested we schedule our appt's with the different Dr.'s so we get to know them all. This is craziness! I don't know who is ok with that kind of set up, but we weren't! So we waited for our insurance to switch to a PPO July 1st and we found our new Doctor, Dr. Susan Cohen, through a friend of a friend who has had two babies delivered by her and said she is great. She was really down to earth and smart and has a small office in Beverly Hills with only 2 other Dr.'s. When we went in for our appt they were playing hip hop/pop music in the office, which was a good sign to me!! I like a Dr with some personality! She said everything was looking good. My weight gain is on track and healthy at 16 lbs (this was at 5 1/2 months). She said unless the baby is born on Thanksgiving or the day after, she will most certainly be there. There is always that chance, but these are much better odds than what we would have with our previous Dr. I have an appt next week to check for signs of diabetes and also anemia.

This is one of the first gifts we have received from a dear

friend and previous employee of mine, Helene (AKA The Mayor). It might be the cutest thing I have ever seen!! It's

so over the top girlie with rhinestones everywhere and of course "Always the Princess" on both sides. So cute!!! Thanks again Mayor!!
