October 8th, we had our 18 week appointment. Dr. Sparn was correct about the baby growing so much during the last 3 weeks that the baby would not fit all in the same shot for a full body picture. Baby has grown and was so active, but I was still concerned at the fact that I couldn't feel all the movements baby was doing during the sonogram. There were many times that it appeared that the baby would punch hard and I still couldn't feel it. After hearing that the baby is perfectly fine and that this is normal for a first baby, it began to calm my nerves. As some of you already know, I am the biggest worry wart in the world. I work myself up over the littlest things and I am trying to get this under control. I must say I am getting better, but I am far from being past this point.
We have officially pasted the point in which we lost our first baby, so that is a little bit of relief. There is still not a day that goes by that I don't think of our other baby. I have a girlfriend that we found out we were pregnant at the same time who now has a 15 month old and he is so big. Just makes me sad from time to time but so blessed to have such a healthy little one so far with this pregnancy.
Our little bundle is growing so fast!

My maternity ACU's are HUGE, but I don't want to go out and buy new uniforms that I will not use afterwards. The ponytail holder on the second button was just not going to cut it if I was to ever have to raise my top.
Loving my belly,

You look adorable! Glad that baby is super healthy. :) I might have missed this somewhere, but are you guys not finding out if it's a girl or a boy?
ReplyDeleteHow CUTE!!! Love the thumb sucking!!! Glad you got a good report! You look adorable with that baby bump! I am so sorry to hear that you lost a baby before this one...I did not know that.
ReplyDeleteDo glad that you and that sweet baby are doing well. I am excited to know who it is growing inside you. Are you guys going to find out if it is a boy or girl before delivery? I am continuing to pray for a healthy pregnancyand delivery for you. I know that it is so hard to lose a baby (I have watched Amy endure it twice). I am so glad that you are in the "safe zone" now and I am hoping you can just enjoy the rest of this pregnancy.
