Latest Check Up!

Tuesday 2/17 baby and I had a monthly check up. No new pics (still need to scan the previous ones) but generally everything is going according to the text books. I am measuring perfectly and apparently I have gained the perfect amount of weight...I am still thinking I need to cut out some of my taco time trips and visits to the bakery! ; )

One slight hick up in all the perfectness though. I have a bit of a funny shaped uterus, heart shaped to be specific. I have been completely reassured that due to the successful progression in my pregnancy so far that it is likely this revelation will not cause much if any problems. To break it down, I just may not be able to offer as much space for our little man to grow as other moms. There may be a higher risk of pre-term labor or a breech presentation upon delivery. To be ultra conservative the doctor has put me into what she is calling a higher surveillance category...aka the Blue Guarded Level per DHS! So, every regularly scheduled checkup will also be accompanied with an ultrasound where we will be able to monitor the baby just a little closer. More opportunities for pictures!! The doctor reassured us, however, that there is no reason to treat this as other than a normal pregnancy because she believes that is exactly what I am having.

That's it for this week, now to settle in for a quiet weekend...Nick is off to a boys weekend at the Wilson Cabin. I am sure he will have some interesting stories when he gets back!

Its Friday

I am finally making the time to update this blog. This has been a big month for us! Nick and I found out that we are having a baby boy (name yet to be determined). The little guy has been kicking up a storm lately and this last Wednesday Nick felt him for the first time. It was such and exciting moment for the both of us. This is a pic of me at (almost) 21 weeks. I have some new ultrasound pictures of the little fella but have yet to remember to get them scanned! Soon enough I am sure.

Sam is oblivious to what is going to happen in about 4 months but we have been having a lot of fun within him in the mean time. This is him at our Superbowl party (hence the beer can) where Nick unveiled his home entertainment project complete with 50'' flat screen, surround sound and cool new receiver.

I hope to get those pics of the little guy up soon. For now we are just waiting for our next check up which is this coming Tuesday 2/17.
