Good news all around...

June 13th: Ultrasound and OB appt

First we started off with the ultrasound at a new place ( I was not going back to the other lady after all the problems we had with her). This place was great. They took us 20 minutes early...yes EARLY. The ultrasound lasted for over 30 minutes and she was wonderful. We got to see every part of Jadon that we could. He is perfect. He had his ankles crossed, it was so cute. He had his hands in front of his face playing shy. All his measurements were right on where he is supposed to be and the tech said everything looked good....including my placenta. She said that it looked like it was right where it needed to be so that was all good news. We got a few pictures that we were able to take home. :)

Then we headed off to the OB appt. Weight gained -2. I went down 2 pounds but the doctor said it wasn't anything to be concerned with, I just needed to make sure I was staying hydrated. Got the results of my glucose testing and everything was good. He did my measurements and said I was right where I was supposed to be and that baby was growing perfectly.

Both appointments were great with all good news and it was a happy day.

What is coming up:
June 20 - leave for NY
June 24 - Baby shower
June 28 - 28 weeks and 3rd trimester starts
June 29 - 4d ultrasound & Baby shower
July 5 - OB appt and Rh- shot

Until next time...

24 weeks

Well time seems to be going fast for me right now, but that is probably because I have so much going on. School year is coming to an end, finished my Reading endorsement and having some showers for Jadon already.

Ok let's start with the fun stuff: Baby showers...
I have had 2 of them so far and they have been amazing. Been getting such great gifts for him and I absolutly love that we are celebrating this little miracle growing in side of me. I am surrounded by lots of friends who I know love him already and that warms my heart. I wish his room was ready to start putting everything away, but that will happen when my family comes down in July and we can move everything out of his room that isn't going to be staying in there.



Doctor's appt.:
So on May 23rd I had a check up appointment and because Jason couldn't come I invited Brittany to come along. It was awesome and she was even able to record his heartbeat for me. I love that I can hear it at any time now. It is an amazing thing to hear. At the appointment I was told that they reviewed my last ultrasound information and said I have a low lying placenta that they are going to have to keep an eye on, because if it doesn't move up like it is supposed to then there are complications we will have to deal with. The good part of it is that we get more ultrasounds, which means more times to see our little guy. :) We will be having one in the next 2 weeks, before we go to NY. Can't wait to see him on the screen again.


Side notes:
Jadon is moving all the time now and it is awesome to feel him. It makes me know everything is ok in there. He is very active and I love every minute of it.

Not much else to report as of right now...more later.
