Another day, another doctor's appointment. That's the story of my life right now!
But today came with mostly good news, which was a very welcome change! I guess the good part of having so many appointments/ultrasounds is that you get to see your baby more. I could already fill up an entire scrapbook with just ultrasound pics! Max looked so cute and gave me some good profile and head shots- he's still a little alien looking, but I think he's adorable! And everything seems to be right on track with him.
I'm slowly coming around too. Patty the Placenta (thank you Anne for naming my body parts!) has moved her way up to the top of my uterus, so no more fears of placenta previa/accreta. I do have an umbilical hernia (which is very evident if you've seen me and my belly button that arrives 5 minutes before the rest of me!) that will have to be surgically repaired at the time of my C-section. I also was told to "take it easy" since I have started to have a lot of frequent Braxton Hicks contractions. Yeah, right- tell that to my 3 year old!!!
It's been a really eventful month to watch and feel Max moving around. David can now feel him and (if we're patient) we can spend endless amounts of time watching my belly move as Max gets his groove on in there!
So, here's the good stuff: some pics from today's ultrasound. Max was (as always) very wiggly, but cooperated enough to get some good shots.
oh max is too cute! glad things seem to be looking up for you!!
ReplyDeleteand tell max not to worry i will totally pass along our many boy costumes so that he doesn't have to dress like a princess ballerina all day! he can be a knight-in-shining armor to Bailey's damsel-in-distress!
Yay for Max! And yay for Patty moving into the right place! So, can one of your "my life in pictures" pictures be of the belly button??? ;)
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so glad Patty got the memo and packed her bags to head north!! Max is so stinkin cute already, I can't wait to meet him :)
