Baby number 3 is due late July/early August and I have yet to do anything more than mention I am pregnant. I am PREGNANT!
Early onwe I decided that since we have a boy and a girl we should not find out the gender of this baby until delivery. Apparently, these days, that's easier said than done. At my 20 week ultrasound the tech did a great job of not disclosing the gender. She did the full check of everything and at the end she said, "Great news! It looks like a very healthy boy or girl." Ah bummer. I was hoping she'd slip. The doctor said the same thing, "Baby looks great!" He did have one concern about my placenta though and ordered a follow-up ultrasound to make sure the placenta had moved to a safer place before delivery.
Seriously?!?!? I was terrified that I wouldn't be able to make it through another ultrasound of not finding out the gender. Well, that was today, and I successfully didn't ask or see. Go me! I also found out that the placenta has moved a lot and my pregnancy is no longer considered "high risk." Great news!
What else did I see today? The sweetest thing ever. We were watching baby move around and had a great profile view. Baby gave the cutest yawn. I mean so cute that the tech replayed it a couple of times. We were melting. It was just adorable. Can't wait to see those newborn yawns live and in person. That yawn is actually what prompted me to want to do a little bit of documenting tonight.
I was a blogging machine through Via's pregnancy and newborn days. Pretty much like clockwork I did a weekly recap. Then with Soren I was doing good if I did a monthly update. Now, I'm almost 25 weeks in and have done nada, zip, zilch. Poor sweet baby. We really are excited to meet you! I could have watched that yawn over and over and over again today, because you are real and you are coming, and life is going to change again. It will likely get more trying. The hard days will be harder, but the good days will be fuller and brighter because you will be adding your personality to our family and home. I can't wait to meet you, and I wouldn't mind at all if you decide to be a little more punctual than your older brother and sister in making your entrance to this world. 15 or 16 weeks and counting.
Early on
