Yesterday we had our appointment with our specialist Dr K. Our appointment started off with a wonderful ultrasound. The baby was very active which made it hard to take measurements and pictures! Since the baby is growing so much, only one part of the body can fit on the screen at a time! It is hard to believe that at 12 weeks the baby looked like a peanut on the ultrasound screen! The ultrasound tech was taking pictures of the head when we got a BIG YAWN on the screen. (see attached picture – tilt your head to get a better view) She was able to snap the picture in time to see the mouth and one eye open – simply amazing! Pat and I decided to behave and turn our heads while she was measuring the legs. We have waited 6 months, and there is no reason we can’t continue to wait! Our little Tootsie is tipping the scales at 2lbs 2ozs right now – right where he/she should be!
I was eager for our appointment because I have been having problems with my daily injections. It is getting harder and harder to get the needle in my belly, and when I do, I end up bleeding quite a bit! The Dr put my mind at ease that I have nothing to worry about, and increased the area on my belly that I can poke! The poor area right around my belly button can now have a break from the needles! Also, we were told that we will be getting induced on February 20th which is 38 weeks. Obviously a lot can change from now to then, but if the baby is ready to come out, that will be the magical induction date.
This week was a busy “baby week” for us as we put a deposit down on a daycare, taped off the floors of the nursery to ensure the furniture would fit, and finally got the furniture on order!
Next on the agenda –
*Buying Paint for Nursery
*Narrowing Down Baby Names – these are a secret!
I don’t think there could possibly by anything else I could update you on right now! We hope that everyone has a great weekend!
Love,
Jamie
