We had another doctor’s appointment today we met with Dr. Saffer who is so nice and very cool - I personally hope that he's the one of the group to deliver us when its time. Dr. Saffer said that I passed the glucose test that I took last week so I’m not at risk for gestational diabetes! Yey!! Otherwise I’d have to do a 3-hour test which means I wouldn't have been able to eat for the first 2 hours before the appointment and then the following 3 because they would want to test to see how well my body digests the sugar… and then they would draw blood every hour – ouch!
Dr. Saffer also said that my blood pressure has been excellent and that he’s happy to see no swelling and can see my ankles – lol! And that my tummy is measuring where it should be which is 26 inches from top of the torso to the bottom. Baby’s heartbeat is steady and healthy and everything seems to be going great! They want to start seeing me every 2 weeks instead of every 4 weeks and we’ll go from there!

25 Weeks and Happy its Spring!
March 16, 2010 - 25 Weeks
At 25 weeks, I am definitely getting more "winded" and doing a lot of physical activity definitely takes its toll and is starting to become more uncomfortable. Sometimes it feels like my the skin on my belly can't stretch any further but each week proves me wrong as it continues to get bigger and bigger. Our little guy is even more active than before and we watched my belly move around as baby Bridges tried to get comfortable - so amazing. We're both looking forward to seeing his little feet and arms poke out! Now that we're really showing... many people seem to have a lot of similar questions for me:
1. Are you experiencing any sickness
A. No, I didn't have a big appetite for dinner during weeks 6-12 but after that I've been feeling fine and eating just like I did before.
2. How are you feeling?
A. I feel great, thanks!
3. Do you know what you're having?
A. Yes... We're having a BOY!
4. Are you excited?
A. Of course, we're absolutely elated!
5. When are you due?
A. Our due date is June 29th
6. Do you want more kids?
A. Yes - Shooting to have at least 2 more.
7. Do you have any weird cravings?
A. I don't crave anything out of the ordinary... I've always liked food so it's hard to say if anything has changed.
8. Is there anything that you used to like but don't like right now?
A. Yes, I used to love crab legs but haven't had the craving for them since I've been pregnant.

Kooza!... Cirque Du Soleil
March 13, 2010
On Saturday, we went with our friends Bartek and Joanna to watch "Kooza" at the Del Mar Fair Grounds. It was an awesome experience to watch contortionists who made it look like they didn't have a bone in their bodies because of their flexibility and acrobats who put on an amazing show! We went to Rock Bottom for some pizza and drinks afterward and had a really good time.

6 Months!!!
March 9, 2010
We are at 6 months today (24 weeks) and everything has been going well. The belly is continuing to get bigger and bigger each day. Baby Boy Bridges is estimated to be about a pound and a half! We started our registry at Babies R Us and still have some things to add but had fun testing out the stroller and car seat we like and finished off the night by eating dinner at Fuddruckers!

Happy 35th Anniversary Mom and Dad!
March 6, 2010
We celebrated Mom and Dad's 35th Anniversary by going to lunch at Peohe's in Coronado. We had an amazing view of the bay and they made it extra special by personalizing the menu with their names! They even brought out an "anniversary" dessert and the food was yummy. Congratulations Mom and Dad!
