We had an ultra sound on Monday with more photographic proof that we are, indeed, having a boy. The tech found our sweet boy laying as low as he can possibly get in my belly ,stretched out long ways. She even caught this adorable picture of his stretched out legs ( top) and a profile picture that shows a nose looking very similar to his big sister's:
The geneticist wants to see us back at 32 weeks just to continue to monitor the baby's growth. They want to be sure my celiac disease doesn't inhibit growth for him .Even though I've been gluten free for 5 years , I won't turn down an ultra sound!I am certainly feeling pregnant these days. My belly, at times, feels like it's made of metal and daily naps are a must . This little guy is constantly low down in my belly and he is growing pretty big ( 1 lb 10 oz ) so I feel movement a good amount of the time which is fabulous but leaves me feeling pretty sore most days. I had a horrible stomach virus which subtracted about 10 lbs from my weight. While no one ever likes to be THAT sick, it sure helped cover up my Christmas indulgences on the scale this week:
Things are moving right along and we're looking at a 39 week repeat c-section in just over 100 days ( give or take) ! What's next in the pregnancy journey?
Every pregnant woman's dream- Glucola! The " sugary" drink used to test for gestational diabetes. Isn't that a treat? Don't let the " lemon-lime" label fool you, this stuff is like drinking 10 ounces of pure sugar.One more thing. I snapped this picture of a book Mike checked out from the library and this just reminds me of yet another reason why I love him so much:
