A Pregnancy Update...

11/16/2011

I thought I would share some 3D pictures that we had taken on Monday (11/14/11) of our baby boy.  I am currently 29 weeks and in my 3rd trimester, baby is doing great, measuring correctly and so far everything is just trucking along.  I am happy to say that I am feeling a tad bit better, and food isn't as disgusting to me anymore, which is really nice and makes a lot of food available that wasn't previously.  Maybe I will have a normal Thanksgiving, or at least be able to eat a little of everything!  That would be nice.

I had a little discussion with my Doctor on Monday regarding the fact that I had my first son prematurely at 35-36 weeks.  I basically was asking if I had my first son early, what are the chances that would happen again with this pregnancy.  I fully expected him to say that every pregnancy is different and you never know.  But.....instead he said the odds were really good that I would have this one prematurely as well.  I wasn't expecting that.  So we are now mentally preparing for this baby to be born around Christmas instead of his January 28 due date.  We would rather be mentally prepared (and physically prepared house wise) for an early birth than be totally surprised like we were with our first.  If I carry him longer, great (and we are really hoping for that) but, I am no longer going to be delusional that it won't happen early again.  This being said, I will be a little more vacant from my blog, preparing for not only the holidays, but also the arrival of our new baby boy.  I'm not disappearing, I just have to shift around my priorities at this point, and unfortunately it does involve a lot less sewing....BOO!  And yes, i am really sad about that aspect of this whole thing.  But what can you do?

The good news is that since I am having another little boy, we virtually have everything we need already, and I spent the day yesterday washing little baby clothes and organizing.  It is amazing to me that even though my first son wore all those items of clothing, I didn't even remember half of them, so I guess that says more about a new mom's frame of mind at the beginning!  HAHA  Wish me luck on my numerous projects and my one big really important one!

If you notice a weird discoloration on his cheek/nose region, apparently it is just something floating in the waters. Kinda yuck.

That's really interesting that you have a better chance of having the second baby early as well. I agree with ya though- sometimes half the battle is being mentally prepared for it happening. At least if he decides to come out later you'll have everything ready to go. Good luck with the moved up timeline!

Oooo how exciting!
Our son was a week late, and the twins were born at 36 weeks - I was ready from about 30 weeks, as I could hardly move after that!

Sit back and enjoy the last weeks of 'singleton son' - he won't know what's hit him!

My daughter was born at 36 weeks but 2 subsequent babies all went to full term (as was my first!)

Oh Marci, he is soooo precious! I'm so happy everything is going well, even considering 'he might be early'. Sorry it all cuts into your sewing time, but so totally worth it! Wish you the best!!

Oh, he is adorable! I'm surprised that he told you that, too! Seems every time I've asked questions like that trying to compare pregnancies they give me the "every time is different" line. But totally agree that being prepared early is a great idea. And I think washing all the little tiny clothes is one of my favorite things to do before the new baby comes! Good luck!

Those are amazing photos. I'm glad you're feeling a little better. Enjoy Thanksgiving and get back to us when you can - we'll be here waiting for news of the big event.

Aren't those pictures just amazing! What an exciting time! Nothing like doing that tiny laundry for the reality of what is about to happen to set in. :) One of my sons was born the week of Christmas, and it was actually a very special and pleasant time to be in the hospital...everyone was in a great mood! :) Enjoy the rest of your preparations and holidays.

So glad to hear that you're feeling better! Looking at all the cuteness in those pics probably helps too. :) It's funny-- I had the same experience looking through baby clothes when I was expecting #2... ah, the foggy memories of newborn times. :P

Those 3D ultrasounds are just amazing! I'm sorry to hear about the premature part, but like you said, at least you can prepare for it this time. I hope he sticks around through the holidays & as long as possible afterwards before deciding to make his arrival. Wouldn't it be funny now if he came a week or two late. :)
