So, what have I forgotten to blog? Well for one thing, we had our sonogram. SQWEEE!!!!
The baby is healthy. The doctor checked the brain, the stomach, kidneys, the face - no abnormalities at all.
The kid is healthy and apparently has all right numbers:
The doctor said that she usually hemmed and hawed, but there was no need this time. She captured a still, walked over to the big screen and pointed out the umbilical cord, both legs, and the penis. He practically sat on the wand for her.
No other big news, really. He's been moving strongly enough that I can watch him move sometimes. And last night, finally, Bryn got to feel him. Again, the look on Bryn's face was fantastic! I am loving Bryn getting all these baby firsts. I shared a lot of Alex's pregnancy with Bryn; but this one is his.
Bryn took all my pregnancy photos when I carried Alex. We haven't taken any this pregnancy. I'm not sure how, or if, we want to commemorate this pregnancy. I'm not happy with my skin, so the idea of photos really isn't doing it for me. We thought about a belly cast, but then we are stuck with a huge belly cast... Where the hell would we put it? And I probably wouldn't want to look at it for the rest of my life.
I have a midwife appointment on Monday, right after my interview for my summer internship. I'll get back to you on how they both go.
So cool! I still have the sonogram picture from my second son (who will be 18 in May). They didn't do that for me with my first son. It was so exciting to get to see the pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou talking about the baby moving made me remember when my boys were in utero and would kick me so hard that my husband would feel it too if he was snuggled up next to me. HA! It seemed only fair to me that he should get kicked too.
Good luck with your interview!
Yay! You're having a boy! I've enjoyed reading about your pregnancy this morning... I'll be here for the rest of it!
