27 and 28 Week 3D Sonogram Pictures

It is October!

82 more days to go! I am starting to really like that number.... Yesterday I had an almost 3 hour Dr. appt. First we had blood drawn for my glucose test and we should get the results of that today. Well apparently the lab lady put my file in the wrong spot after that... so I had a huge delay before it was finally sonogram time. All looks good with baby.... she is said to weigh 2lbs 14ozs now. Then the usual talk with the Dr. He says that he is very comfortable with my progress that I can wait another 4 weeks before coming back.... then start the 2 week check ups.

We had a 3d/4d ultrasound last Sat. but Delanee was asleep the whole time with her legs in front of her face. We did get a couple of cute pictures though and as a bonus we get to go back this Sat. to see if she will cooperate better. Here is the picture from last week and also some pictures of her room.... still not finished but getting closer.

109 Days to go!

It seems that we are getting things ready for baby now. Last week I got her bedding in. It is mostly light green with dragonflies. We purchased our 3 pieces of nursery furniture and a glider/ottoman combo from Babies R Us last night.... we got a great deal that even Dave Ramsey would be proud of. They will hopefully be in sometime next week so I can share pictures of our actual nursery. Today we added a second clothing rod to her closet for her ever growing wardrobe. Then we got a new bi-folding door for the closet and a door to separate her room from the laundry room. I can't wait to have it all finished!

As for me I think I am growing.... to the point where I shock myself when I walk past a mirror somewhere! I wanted to share some pictures of the furniture and bedding and an updated video for those who have not seen them. Please keep the video comments to yourself.... but all others are welcome!

Surprise, Surprise

Today we had an elective 2D ultrasound to 'confirm' the gender.... well it was definitely confirmed as a ..... GIRL! Talk about a shock. We have to start all over with name choices and nursery decorating. The ultrasound was lots of fun we got some good video of her sucking her thumb, then she fell asleep and would not wake up for us so that was the end of that. We took some of the better video clips and put them in a shorter video to share.

19 Week Ultrasound Check

On Friday we had our "big" ultrasound to check on the baby. The tech measured and checked the heart, head, brain, umbilical cord, arms, legs, stomach, and everything else. All looks great! The weight is estimated at 10 ounces right now. She said the baby was very wiggly and I got in trouble for drinking orange juice to make sure the baby was moving.... she could not get a good view of the heart valves so we have to have another one later, oops..... but we did see the 4 chambers in the heart. Unfortunately the tech lady said she was not able to confirm the sex as a boy. Rann says she was mad at me for the orange juice so maybe she didn't really try. The heartbeat was 124 beats per minute. And the theory is that a heartbeat under 140 is usually a boy... We get our next ultrasound at the Dr. office in 8 weeks but we are looking into getting an extra one done at a 3D clinic before then to make sure he is a boy and to get some better pictures. We only got 3 pictures this time and the are not good or maybe we are spoiled by the high tech pictures we got previously at the fertility clinic. I will post the best picture we got.
As for me the Dr. says that everything is growing just right. I am feeling lots of kicking (taps) and other movement everyday now. It is nice at this point and not bothersome yet. I am gaining about 1 pound per week and my belly is definitely getting bigger. We started a video of the belly pictures we have been taking and will continue to take through the end. We are also adding that to the post today... enjoy.

12 Week Ultrasound

Today was the final appt. with the fertility Dr and I am officially a normal pregnant person now. We had a great ultrasound today and everything looks just right. The heartbeat is 154bpm and the baby is now 2.3 inches long from head to rear, not counting the legs! I am now measuring a few days ahead of schedule instead of a day behind so lets keep our fingers crossed that that will help get a baby here before the new year! And the most exciting news is that the Dr was able to tell us the sex..... we are "pretty sure" it is a boy. She said that she could not be absolutely sure since it is still early and "he" was moving around the whole time. I am not trained to read these sonogram things at all but I think I saw what looks like a boy when he was moving around also. She said that she is not wrong very often and that if she was wrong I better call her and let her know! So we are going with that and will hopefully get that confirmed with my OB Dr in about 6 weeks. Here are some pictures that we got!

8 Week Ultrasound

Well the morning started off in the rain, and while on the way to the Dr. we saw Sheena at an accident scene on the highway. Good work out there officer Parsons, be safe.
Everything looks good at the doctor. The measurements show the baby is growing right on track. This weeks pictures are not as good as last time but you can definitely tell he/she is much bigger. We have an appointment at the OBGYN on June 6th. It will be a long 3 weeks!
