YIPPPPEEEEEEEEEE

ANOTHER GREAT DAY- BIG ULTRASOUND & BIG PURCHASE

The ultrasound-
Went great, it was over an hour of looking at our precious little ones.
The good new-
the doctor said everything looks great and no problems. He also said I would prob. be back later in the pg to look at the baby again. This is good news because i didn't expect it- and I am assuming if there was something they specifically wanted to look at again/were worried about, he would have mentioned it instead of being generic.

The odd news- I guess I 'borrow worry', but he came in and started talking about Downs and having no signs, but it is only 99%, so do we want an amnio or can we live with that. Weird right? I didn't think we were there about genetic testing- but to do the major anatomy scan.
Also- The baby weighed in at 14oz. That seems big to me for where we are- my book this week said 10, and when you are only 10 oz, a 4oz weight difference is huge. But I did some googling and found other sites that said at 21 weeks your baby could be 13-14 ounces, and I am sure he would have said something if the baby was too big- but the ultrasound tech was asking 'how did you get your due date?, by your period or...?' So now I am worried, but not sure about what- that is on the list of questions to ask.
Lastly- he asked if I had done my glucose test yet- which i have not, and he said I should. I told him my dr. said 28 weeks and he said he usually recommends earlier, especially if the mom has extra weight. I am assuming, and hoping, this is just a weight thing, as well as how this doctor operates- and that if anything from the u/s prompted him to say this he would have stated his concerns- again, I think I am borrowing worry. My doctor said I am fine and am doing great with the weight gain and all and he had no concerns to prompt me to go early- but I will ask :)

With no further delay- here is our baby :)




and the other big news- WE BOUGHT FURNITURE
we bought a beautiful set by Morigeau-Lepine. It is antique white birchwood- so has this beautiful speckling on it which you can't see in the pictures. Morigeau-Lepine is very high end furniture- our crib alone is listed for about $1100 dollars. Well the company is going out of business, so the store we are at was unloading everything they had. We got the crib, double dresser, hutch, bookshelf, delivery, & setup- all for close to what the crib alone originally would cost. It was a little bit impulsive- but when I asked about the other set we liked and how much 4 pieces would be, and I heard 3500 as a response- I knew there was no way we were letting this deal pass us up. We would never get the quality and amount of pieces for this price- and it is really GORGEOUS, I am specifically in love with the sleigh crib. My only concern is changing space- you could put a changer on the dresser, but with the shelves it worries me. We will probably buy an inexpensive changing table after the kids gets a little bit bigger, but oh well- we still got what I feel like is the deal of the day!
