This morning we went to the appointment and were surprised with an ultrasound. How exciting! This was hubbies first time seeing the baby on ultrasound, and he thought it was the coolest thing ever! The baby is head down. While the tech was checking position of the baby she decided to try to verify if the baby was a girl or boy. We still have a shy one. Although we were told at 25 weeks it's a girl because no "boy parts" we're obvious, we still don't know for sure. I'm actually excited to think we'll find out after the birth. Something to push a little harder for. I was very surprised baby is head down because I've been feeling movement on both sides at the same time. The babywas also doing breathing exercises. It was so neat seeing her on the scream and so big already. They didnt give an extimate of weight, but thats ok, she looks big. After the exam, we went in another room and spoke with the doctor about what's next. The thing I'm most nervous about is knowing when it's time. I've heard a million times, you'll just know, but I'm still worried. At my next appointment in 2 weeks they will do the cervical check and strip my membranes, if I elect. I'll be doing research on that now! Thanks doc!
We're still preparing for baby girl and I'll still do the canvases for her. And if the baby turns out to be a boy, that would just be great. We haven't spent a lot on girl items as its not been 100% and I don't want to waste money.
Tonight I'm going to make an attempt at making a chicken burrito like Qdoba. Im excited and hope that it has the taste to satisfy my picky taste buds!
Oh, I also gained 5 pounds in the last 4 weeks!! Yikes!
Because my appointment was right before Xander would normally take his nap, he was a monster when we finally made it home. He's such a clutz when he's tired that he fell and bonked his nose on the chair rail. He now has a nice bruiser in the middle of his eyes. Poor kid. He wouldn't let me keep ice on the area, so I'm hoping the swelling and bruising won't last long. He's sleeping now, so I hope he's getting some good rest. He needs it.
I think that's it for now. Have a great day!
The night before I went into labor, hubby downloaded a contraction counter on our computer. Loved it! I just hit a button when it started and when it stopped and it would tell me how far apart they were and I could see if they had been getting closer or not. For me, I started feeling "weird" and uncomfortable a couple days before. I also started spotting. The contractions felt like cramps and they were not easy to ignore, so I knew what they were. Praying for you as you get closer!!! So exciting!
