There is a poll to the right- vote on whether you think Squeaks is a boy or girl! Check out the pics first :)
I feel as though I have not talked much about this pregnancy and baby number 2. When I was pregnant with Brooks, there was nothing else going on. This time I have an active, funny, adorable toddler to go on about, that it seems this pregnancy is flying by.
7 weeks until Baby 2 is due to arrive- 7 weeks!!!
Are we ready? Not really. We bought a double stroller. Once it arrives we will be taking it car shopping as it is already cramped in the Prius and I need to be able to fit supplies, groceries, etc in the car along with 2 carseats. B's big boy room is almost ready for him to move in. His blackout shades should be coming within a week- then we will do the switch. Once that is done then I get to dig out all our old baby stuff- the neutral gear, and prepare a bit more. Also on the to do list is to sort toys into B's current faves and infant ones.
Pregnancy and how it is going. Well I saw my dr this week. Everything is going well. Baby is *NOT* huge like they said. She told me it is measuring 4 days ahead- 56%. To me that sounds perfectly average and ok so that worry is gone. How am I feeling? Kind of miserable. With Brooks I felt great the whole time- I got impatient at the end and was a little uncomfy sleeping at night, but felt fine. This time I feel like crap often. Maybe it is because I have to chase a toddler and constantly get up and down off the floor. I am sure that is part of it- but it is just harder this time. I have more difficulty doing things, I need more help getting up LOL. My belly is bigger thanks to being pg so close together, I am still puking and heaving a few times a week, I can't sleep both due to insomnia and comfort issues, and I am run ragged. But we are healthy and that is what matters, and I am not miserable miserable- just not having the wonderful pregnancy I had with him. I still love being pregnant. The perk to this pregnancy is this little one is more 'fun' in utero than B was. I couldn't feel him as well b/c of placental positioning, squeaks is a machine!
One negative- baby is breech. I am going to a chiropractor tonight and for accupuncture Friday. Both of those things are supposed to *help* enable baby to turn. I don't mind trying it- I would rather have the baby flip and if s/he doesn't, at least I will have tried everything I could and not regret not doing it. Most babies have flipped by this far along, however we have about 3 weeks for this baby to flip before the Dr's start thinking it is definitely not going to happen. If baby does not flip there are 2 medical options- 1) try an external version, this is when they admit me to the hospital b/c it can lead to delivery/stress on the baby and try to manually push the baby around while monitoring everything. It is supposed to be painful. Option 2- schedule a c-section. So you can see why I am trying the alternative methods to help things along.
Eric, Brooks, and I got to have a nice visit with Squeaks- we went for an elective 3D ultrasound. It was amazing. I hate to say it- but it was even more amazing than when we did it for Brooks because the shots were so much clearer since the baby was sleeping and my placenta was not in the way this time.
Awesome shot of the face
Baby is folded in half with their feet right up in front of face (profile on right)
Little hands fisted under the chin/cheek
More of a body shot, chin tucked in elbow with belly below!
And for fun comparison sake- Here are some old shots of BROOKS from when we did it with him. It is interesting to see how the positioning of the 2 is so similar!
feet up in front of the face, just like squeaks!
