Whoa. Time flys. I just told Scott the other week. Besides the bowel obstruction in week 12 (which was the worst experience of my life- hands down) this pregnancy has been quite easy so far! Sometimes I wake up and forget I'm pregnant for a split second! I mean I've had some common complaints- don't get me wrong (bloody nose, sore back, spider veins, shortness of breath, exhaustion, etc...) but nothing I can REALLY complain about. I haven't felt that moody either. I know my patients level has dropped but other than that I feel like myself with a baby kicking inside my tummy!! And the greatest feeling is not remembering the last time you cried because you were upset- Because I don't and it's weird but a wonderful change!! I sure hope these last couple months and labor/delivery go just as smooth as its been going. The 4D sonogram was amazing as you can see from the pictures below. The tech told me try not to use my stomach muscles while she was giving me the sonogram because it will distort the picture- well as soon as I saw him I wanted to joyfully cry like a baby but I held it in and just watched in amazement. It was the fastest 25 mins of my life!! I could of layed there and looked at him all day. It was so nice to have my family there to share this moment too. They have been such a huge support for Scott and I the past 3 years and I wish there was someway to repay them.
We are 95% sure his name will be Carter Scott. (even though I keep thinking about the name Brady) We've been trying to refer to him as Carter instead of "the baby".
Our shower is a week from this Sunday and I am so so so very excited and honored. I think once we get all our gear it will seem closer than ever and I will feel more prepared. I have 4 different to-do lists going all preparing for Carter's arrival so once I tackle those list I will feel really ready. I think Scott and I are still in shock that we are pregnant! I don't think its going to hit us until he's here. We are so blessed and happy. We simple cannot wait to be parents!!
Dr. Hecht (our infertility Dr.) had a reunion or "celebrating success" picnic this past weekend for all the successful pregnancies. It was great to see the office staff and just to be around other families who went through the struggles you did. It was such a positive and great atmosphere. I love that Dr.! (But hope I never have another appointment at his office :)
My next appointment with Tammy is on Monday. At my last appointment she wanted me to start iron supplements because my iron is borderline low but doesn't want it to get any lower. My sugar test was good and I am measuring 1 week bigger than what I am. I'm not sure when the last sonogram is but I am going to ask her on Monday. I think I gained 2 more pounds so a total of 14/15 lbs so far. I'm just really curious about how much he weighs and what he is measuring.
