{An Update On The Babe}

Sorry these are so dark, it's hard to take a picture of a picture. This is the Baby's face with a hand in front of it. 'No pictures please!'

This is it's cute little profile. I can't believe it already has legs, arms, and a face! With facial features! (How could anyone doubt this is a life?????)

The baby was soooo active. The ultrasound pictures are a little blurry because our little peanut wouldn't stop dancing.

So after a scare last week, I called my Dr and asked what they wanted me to do and they immediately made an ultrasound appt and a follow up dr appt. The ultrasound came up clear. The baby look fantastic, and is growing so much, I think the doctor was even surprised. They bumped up my due date to the 25th, but after the tech said that my NP (Nurse Practitioner) said lets call it the 21st because of the crazy growth just in the last 2 weeks.

They did spot a small 'pool' of liquid in my sac. My NP said they see weird things like this all the time and they always just go away on their own. She even suggested a 'disappearing twin,' though there is no way of knowing.

She gave me a great explanation for the spotting (which is why I went in). She had said that this early in my pregnancy my cervix is really swollen with blood (so swollen in fact that the cervix looks blue-ish purpley because there is so much blood.) So the smallest thing I do/did (like picking up a 2 year old, or exercising) could have caused a slight tear or leak and I could spot for weeks after it happened.

Which makes perfect sense, we did just move (hello trama!) and up until recently I was working out everyday. I thought that was fascinating! So assuming everything goes smoothly I will get another ultrasound in 8 weeks when we find out gender!

Any guesses???
