So, we now have 10 weeks and three days to go until our little bundle is set to arrive. I absolutely can't wait. Yes, we still have a lot to do to get his room ready but we are ready to see what he looks like and to hold him and love on him!!! I had what may be my last ultrasound on Thursday and was so looking forward to trying to see what/whom he looks like. Unfortunately, he did not cooperate very well. We did get some pics but they were pretty unclear who he looks like and not great quality since they had to be saved so fast while he was moving away from the camera. I guess he's going to be shy. That is not such a bad thing since I have my moments with shyness and definitely did when I was younger. But, we love him and know he will be just adorable!
The doctor said he is just doing wonderfully. My fluid is excellent, the umbilical cord blood flow is excellent and all of his little body parts and heart are working just as they should. We are right on target. They estimated he is about 2 pounds and 10 ounces right now. He has also moved up to just under my chest area so I'm finding it a little more difficult_having to find new ways to get up out of bed b/c I'm using different muscles now since he's higher. I'm still going to the restroom a LOT but don't have all that pressure sensation every time I stand up now that he's up a little higher. I know before long, though, he will be moving back down and getting into position for birth. Fun times and I wouldn't change or trade it for ANYTHING!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to include a pic also of the beautiful cradle that Donnie's dad built for us! It's huge and sentimental b/c not only did his dad make it but it came from wood from a tree that used to be in Donnie's grandmother's yard. Very special!
