Waiting for this week took FOREVER letmetellyou! We finally got to see our baby again and I convinced myself that the baby would very likely not have a heartbeat (why am I being such a dooms day lady?!? Or maybe the placenta would be in the wrong spot? Or the cord would not be attached right? Or there would be a heart problem....? I really do feel like a crazy person lately. Hormones. And a little bit of crazy.). It just does not feel real yet that I am pregnant. Like, it hasn't sunk in. I think all that bleeding traumatized me. And even though I bled with baby #1 it just felt different this time around.
Well, there was a heartbeat (150 beats per minute). And they told us that baby was perfect in every way from what they could tell. And the baby was SSOOO cute and very photogenic (we got like 20 pictures)!!! I think cuter than baby #1 (wait, you aren't supposed to compare your kids, right?!). But seriously. It was chewing on it's fingers, doing big stretches, bouncing all around, doing some somersaults. The ultrasound tech was laughing so hard because it just wouldn't stay still (might have been the super spicy jalapeño bagel I ate right before....). But it was the best! Just what I needed to see! And the baby looked completely different from #1. Not what I was expecting at all. The forehead seems a more normal size compared to #1 and no big lips (maybe this one will look more like me instead of Daddy?). Also, I was convinced #1 was a boy but have had no strong sense with this one either way (and hey, I was WAY off with #1). But everyone agreed this one "looks" like a boy. For whatever that is worth (probably worth very little). We find out the gender in another 6 weeks to the day! Until then, my job is to officially keep cooking this little one! xoxo

Yay! so glad baby 2 is well and looking adorable. =)
ReplyDeleteWell....you won't know about the cord attachment until the 20-week ultrasound most likely. But it doesn't matter. Cord attachment problems are not an issue like 99.99999% of the time. So strike that one off your worry list. Signed, mama of a cord insertion error baby. :-D
