I love these pictures! You can see the little foot (I am going to assume that is the one that is jammed underneath my rib!). During another part of the ultrasound, the foot moved. You could see a beautiful arch. Stephen has extremely flat feet so I told him that my genes must have won out on that one!
April, our ultrasound tech, switched over to 4D to take a few pictures for us. You can see the little punkin's face!! "B" appears to be sucking his/her bottom lip. Our beautiful baby! God is so amazing!Stephen and I just spent a lovely Easter day with our families. Every holiday we discuss how blessed we are to have such amazing people with whom to spend our special days! We love you all! My family was asking about ultrasound pictures so I figured I would update the blog! I always need a little push! I am currently 34 weeks...6 weeks and counting! My cousin, Amanda, reminds me that I could go into labor at any time! She would certainly know because she is in the business of delivering babies! We can't believe how quickly the time has come and gone. We're so excited to meet our baby! We are working to get the house ready. There's still so much to do but only so much energy to expend! I really just have to come to terms that the house is just (and will always be) a work in progress!
So much has happened since the last blog. As always, I am going to stick with the baby stuff. I won't go into detail about all the happenings about everything (perhaps when I get better at this blogging thing and don't let months go by between posts). Stephen and I have gone to 2 of our 4 birthing classes. We've enjoyed spending time together and getting all sorts of important and pertinent information for our upcoming labor and delivery. The first class was fun. We learned one of the breathing exercises. Unlike ever before, Stephen was taking it quite seriously, which, of course, was puzzling to me. I started giggling and couldn't stop! Everyone was quietly breathing, and I was laughing! Nice. The second class was equally entertaining. We watched "the video". This particular video showed four different births. It was filmed in the 70's and had a rockin' opening ballad. Stephen spent the entire video making comments, which, of course, made me laugh. I really hope that we're not the "obnoxious" couple, but I fear that we are!
Since our last blog, we found out that my cousin, Kerry, is pregnant! We're so excited! We've already decided that we're going to buy matching Christmas outfits! How fun is that?! They're going to have so much fun together! Aunt Karen bought us both stuffed animals for Easter. You push the little foot, and it giggles just like a little baby! It is one of the most adorable stuffed animals I've ever seen!
Stephen and I are starting to meet with pediatricians. I know we will find the perfect one! My main requirement is the ability to deal with a new hypochondriac mother who does not deal well with anything medical who is also slightly neurotic. They're gonna love me. I can feel it!
I am still feeling pretty good. Sleeping was a little difficult for me last week, but I was introduced to Mylanta by one of the nurses at Dr. White's office. Mylanta=My Favorite Medical Advancement Ever (if you can call the liquid goo an advancement). I am sleeping and living much better now! That's probably a bit too much information for you, but it seriously changed my life. Other than that, I really feel great!
Well, I hope to update the blog sooner than later, but we know how that goes. This blog ends where the last one "leff" off. (That's a shout out to Stephen, Bryan, Beau and Jen). It's really stupid so I won't even explain it.
