Ultrasound Pics

We didn't get to play with the 3d today but here are the pictures from today - the big bump thing that it looks like the baby is kissing is the placenta:



26 Week Ultrasound

Andy and I were at the Hospital bright and early this morning for an ultrasound to check to see if the placenta had moved off the cervix and to check on the cyst.

Well, the cyst is still there and the tech really did not seemed worried about whether or not that would go away. The placenta is still covering the cervix! I'll go back in another 6 weeks to see if it's moved or not. Again, not a big deal, if it doesn't move by the time its time for the baby to be here I'll just have to have a c-section.

The baby looked good - he or she is 2 lbs 4 ozs and is measuring now to May 19th so the due date has been moved up another day! The tech also pointed out that the baby has ALOT of hair! She said she usually doesn't see so much hair at 26 weeks. So the baby will have a nice full head of hair when born, maybe even like ZZ Top. LOL :)

Other than that, all is well. I feel good and will post the ultrasound pics tonight from home.

Upcoming

Hi All,

Our next ultrasound is scheduled for next Tuesday, February 17th so keep those fingers crossed that the placenta has moved and the cyst is gone. :) Make a note to check back here later that day for an update - the appointment is at 8 am.

Not much else going on - I feel bigger although everyone keeps telling me I don't look pregnant- which is getting kind of annoying - I guess everyone wants me to look large!

We are moving along slowly with the nursery but after about 10 paint sample colors of different colors we have finally found a winner and that is the first step!

Andy is in Orlando starting today through Thursday and I am ready for him to come home already!

Well, stay tuned for next week's appointment!

Dr. Appointment

Hi All,

Last night Andy and I had our Feb. doctors appointment with Dr. Domenitz. It was a pretty standard in and out appointment. Weight, Blood Pressure, Belly size are all good. Doc said babies anatomy was perfect and that the heartbeat was nice and steady. I asked if I was too small because that what everyone keeps telling me and he said I was perfect!He said the placenta issue should correct itself as my uterus gets bigger. I'll have another ultrasound in the next couple of weeks to check to see if its moved and if that cyst has gone away too. I keep telling the baby to reach over and try to rupture the cyst, maybe he or she is listening! So the next doctor's appointment is March 4th and it will be a little more exciting as I have to do the glucose test and also get the Rhogam shot for my A- blood. I'll post some more pictures of my belly soon and will of course update and let you know when the next ultrasound is.

Otherwise all is well. I feel good and can feel lots of movement! We purchased the nursery furniture, Andy's mom bought the crib and we got the dresser and a night stand. The dresser is in our garage in a box and the rest of it should be coming soon. We also have the glider from my mom sitting in a big box in our Family Room. We are getting the new carpet in about 3 weeks so the pressure is on to get that nursery painted. We've picked out paint samples so we are getting there! As soon as it's all done I'll be sure to post some pictures.

Stay tuned....
