Kate is still doing well. We had a quick ultrasound and she has definitely grown in the last two weeks. She's up to 2.5 pounds now, and I can definitely tell she's getting bigger because my tummy is exploding! She was measuring 28 weeks, although she is only 27 weeks. She has been kicking a lot, almost constantly now, not just for caffeine and sugar. She kicks when I'm standing, sitting, sleeping, talking, brushing my teeth, or just having a bite to eat.

As for me, my blood pressure was better today, 120/64, so that was good news. The doctor is sending me to a cardiologist to do another echocardiogram (on me this time, not Kate), to make sure the pregnancy is not stressing my heart too much. I get really winded now from climbing stairs or walking too fast, and neither of those things can really be avoided in New York! It's hard to tell if it is just from being pregnant, or if my heart is being stressed too much, hence the echo to make sure it's just compressed lungs and breathing for two and not some worsening of my aortic valve.

In two weeks we go back for another ultrasound to check the placenta again, so no news on that front.

We're still house hunting, and plan to see some more houses next weekend. Last weekend we looked at a few open houses, but so far nothing is screaming for us to buy. We may just end up renting for a while until we can find the perfect place, so we've given ourselves three weeks to pull the trigger on something we've seen or find a better rental situation.

Hope everyone had a great memorial day weekend. Joel and I are off to celebrate our two-year anniversary tonight.
