4D Ultrasound!

I went for my 33 week ultrasound before we went away on our vacation and I forgot to post the pictures. I was lucky enough to get a couple of 4D pictures. Baby was hiding their face, so they're not great but it does show those cute, chubby little fingers and toes! I can't wait to meet this little one!!

29 Week Ultrasound

I had my 29 week ultrasound yesterday. The tech didn't let me see alot, but she did show Matt and I the baby after she was done all of the measurements and gave us a couple of pictures. Ceili didn't seem too interested in the ultrasound, but I know it's hard to see through all of the black and white mess! She said the baby is around 3 1/2 lbs already and is head-down. This kid knows what it's doing I guess!! I was pretty sure he/she was head down because I have been feeling lots of kicks in my ribs and what felt like little hands moving around in my low abdomen.

I am anxious to see what the doctor is able to tell us when I see him next week since he normally reads the ultrasound report to me. I am hoping he doesn't plan to induce me early because of the size of the baby or something and because I just about failed my gestational diabetes test.

I have been feeling alot better lately. I have been able to do more with Ceili like walk to the park and take the bus places. I still have that little fear in the back of my mind that maybe I could bleed again, so I still don't overdo it. I don't think that fear will go away until after the baby is born though. This pregnancy has had such ups and downs, it has been so rough compared to my first pregnancy.

Hospital Stay

Well the bleeding came back as I had sort of expected. It started again on Sunday afternoon, so I went in to the hospital as the doctor had instructed me. They decided to keep me in overnight and did some blood tests and an ultrasound. The baby looked good in the ultrasound and was rolling around like crazy. I think the ultrasound also showed something great! I still have to talk to my doctor about it tomorrow, but the nurse said that my complete previa was totally gone! It's like a miracle! If that is infact the case, it sounds like I will be able to resume a normal life again until baby is born. That would make me very happy :) I don't necessarily look forward to going back to the stress of work again (but I'll have to suck it up!) but I do look forward to being able to go for walks with Matt and Ceili, wander the malls and not have to worry about overdoing it.

I guess I had better update on our vacation as well. It was awesome to be at the lake, our friends Sarah and Josh were so welcoming and we had a fantastic time. Ceili loved going for boat rides and playing in the sand on the beach was fun for her too. I found lots of time to rest and relax, even got a few of the best naps I've ever had in! Matt caught quite a few fish and I'm so glad he got to fish because I know it's one of his favorite things to do.

The picture I have included is my belly picture at 19 weeks, I am standing on the dock at the cabin. I can't believe I have made it to 20 weeks already!

Happy Ultrasound Day!

We went for our ultrasound today and baby is still happy & healthy!! Every time I see that little peanut moving around and kicking in my belly, I feel ecstatic. The ultrasound tech was wonderful and gave me 3 pictures, she even tried for a 3D, but the babe was covering his/her face :( I thought it was pretty hilarious because the baby's legs were folded right up and feet were right by his/her head!

The ultrasound tech also checked my previa, but wasn't able to tell me anything because she's not allowed. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the doctor has good news for me on the 24th.

I will try to post once more before we go away to the lake, but I'm not sure if I will have time.
