Ultrasound!

I have a hard time working on family posts so I thought I would try a quick one from my phone.

We had an ultrasound today (34 weeks). This is typical for us as with my history of hypertension they like to check the baby’s vitals and make sure it is growing well. Honestly, I was a little concerned about the size of the baby as I haven’t gained much weight this pregnancy.

Well I needn’t be concerned! They estimate the baby to be around 5.5 lbs already. And the estimated gestation date was right on target. That and all the functioning and organs were fantastic. Such good news for us!

My bp has been really good so far and I am taking a step back from most things to rest more and keep it in check. Of course it helps tremendously that my mom is able to come help a few days each week.

Lastly, below is the ultrasound 3-D render of the baby (taken with my phone, sorry). I just had to post it because we were so astonished at how much it resembles Isaac!

I’m pretty sure today was much needed. I feel a renewed excitement and anticipation for this little one. It just feels so much more real. (You’d think the bladder kicks would do that for me!)

Anyway, keep all of us in your prayers as we near the end. There are so many changes ahead. And for a little fun how about a poll to see what gender you think and what arrival date? Any guesses on both or either? (Note: they won’t let me go past December 13th).
