...ONCE AGAIN.... THESE STUBE'S DON'T HAVE A CLUE
We are blessed. Although this little one (like his or her sister) decided to keep his or her gender a secret, we were blessed to watch as the ultrasound technician showed us our beautiful, healthy baby. I couldn't hold back tears as I watched my little bundle of joy hug me tight and not budge for the entire time! I cannot wait to meet him or her! February ... don't take your time getting here- we are excited to meet our baby!
So- at our last ultrasound (and the reason we had another one in the first place) the technician had trouble seeing my cervix (and some of the babies anatomy) and so suggested that I drink more water this time before arriving. I did as I was told, but once again, the technician had trouble seeing my cervix. She decided to do a internal ultrasound to just make sure everything looked okay. The ultrasound revealed that a piece of the placenta was covering my cervix. At this point, there is no need to panic, but they are going to do another ultrasound at my 28 week appointment to see if it's moved or not. Please pray! I would love to have a natural childbirth but importantly, with my blood disorder, having an issue with my placenta can be a scary thing- so again, please pray.
The Big 28 Week Appointment: as I said, at my next appointment I will have another ultrasound to check to see if the placenta has moved up BUT... there is more! Here in good ol' Central PA you have to do the blood glucose test twice and this appointment is the 2nd round of testing. Because I wasn't able to handle the sugary liquid earlier in my pregnancy and ended up with the 12 hour fast and then a high carb feast (eaten within 15 minutes) and two hours of blood work... I have to do the same test again. So... I have a two and a half hour appointment of ultrasounds, gestational diabetes blood work, and oh yeah... my wonderful beautiful Rhogam shot right in the bottom!! My oh my!! It's going to be a great morning... huh! Appointment is schedule on my daddy's birthday (Nov 29th) Even though it's going to be a rough morning, I can't wait- it's another time to check my babies progress and to hear his or her beautiful heartbeat. <3 style="font-weight: bold;">Baby Pics: here are the same pictures that were shown at the beginning of this blog with some of my thoughts...

My beautiful baby... I love looking at this photo. Although, you can't see much... you do get a great glimpse of his or her sweet little hand. Look at those beautiful little fingers. I am smiling so big right now as I stare at my baby.
Here is another great shot of my little peanut. Oh how I can't wait to snuggle you close. I love how he or she is snuggling up close to me. Look at his or her precious little face. Beautiful eyes, nose, and look at those lips!! Jon and I are very blessed. I can't stop looking at my child. I can't wait to hold you in my arms baby Stube.
Dear Sweet Child~ I love you so much. I am so excited to meet you and get to know you. As I write this, you are moving around inside me and letting me know you are here. I am absolutely loving how as I rock Ruthie right before bed- you have started poking around to let the both of us know you are there. I'm not so sure your sister is enjoying having this extra poke a part of her night night routine, but it makes me smile. Love you! ~Mommy
