Little Meyer update 23 weeks

Over the past week Bonnie has had several different appointments to check up on how her and our little baby boy are doing. We had a fetal EKG and a sonogram last week at 22 weeks and 2 days. Today we went in to meet with the doctor to follow up on those tests. Everything is going great and Bonnie and Little Meyer are rocking it!

There was one thing that the doctor mentioned to us that is a little bit out of the ordinary... When they do a sonogram they take measurements of all kinds of things including the baby's size. At 22 weeks, 2 days here's how our little boy was measuring:

Head: 22 weeks, 6 days
Abdomen: 23 weeks
Legs: 23 weeks, 4 days
Arms: 23 weeks, 4 days

After reading those off to us the doctor proceeded to tell us that our boy is still within the normal range but he is above average. Then he glanced at me and laughed. So it sounds like we have a big baby coming. We go back in three weeks to check up again.

Hey, we're coming out in July! We worked 03-05 at TCIS and now we're coming back. What's your vote for us-across the street apts or Aropark? It's only the 2 of us but extra bedrooms would be good. Is new better even though they're far away? Thanks! loricarlblom@yahoo.com

Hmm...tough decision! I'm not sure what you've seen of the two places, but here's a video we took of our apartment after the first few days of being here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX3wvITFYw0 We've added/changed a lot with the furnishings of the apartment since then, but you can get a basic idea of what Acro Park is like as a blank slate from the video. Even though the apartments across the street (often referred to as the "family apartments) are a bit older, they're still in good shape. I think it just comes down to preference...some people like living across the street because its more convenient, others like having more separation from school while living at Acro (its a 20min walk to school). We have a car, so the distance hasn't been a problem for us. Acro doesn't have a ton of storage because there is no balcony, while the family apartments have quite a bit more. Tom and I don't have too much stuff, so Acro has been more than enough for us. In fact the "guest room" mentioned on the video is still empty and we use it to hang laundry. All this will be changing soon with us having a baby, but for the two of us Acro has been great. Acro is nicely located by a few busstops and is within walking distance of a Homeplus, while the family apartments are a bit closer to the area of Suwon that is "more happening" with coffee shops, etc. I hope this helps. I don't think you can go too wrong either way. Welcome to GSIS!
