25 Weeks

Today I went to see the neurologist, Dr. Hogan. He did another full neuro exam and informed me that my spinal tap results for MS were negative. He reminded me that I do still have a chance of having MS in the future and that I will have to keep a check on that. He also performed another ocular visual test where they attach these leads to your scalp and you stare at a light for a minute and it reads how your brain is reacting. He expects the left eye to be better than the right eye (obviously). He also ordered more extensive lab work to rule out any other causes for the ocular neuritis. It will be about a week or so before those test results come back. So, all in all, good news.

When I got home this evening, I finally did my Pilates for Pregnancy video. I did feel some good stretching, but I will admit, it was hard for me to do Pilates because it is sooooo slow paced and I like up beat type things. But, if it will help in the end, I guess I can do it twice a week as recommended by Dr. D!!!

How our baby is growing:

Head to heels, our baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but he's beginning to exchange his long, lean look for some baby fat. As he does, his wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and he'll start to look more and more like a newborn. He's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.
