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!
