It is so hard to believe that I am already half-way through my pregnancy! A part of me is really excited, because I simply cannot wait to me our little baby, but another part of me is sad that it is going so quickly, I feel like I'm falling behind! I'm doing my best to sit back and just enjoy this time!
So we got our results back from our ultrasound and the baby is perfect! Everything is where it should be, they were able to see blood flowing through all 4 chambers of the heart, the kidneys, liver, bladder, just all the good stuff! However, the baby's head and abdomen are measuring in the 97th percentile!! The last thing I wanted to hear is that my baby is going to have a gigantic head! They said that it could be because of a few things, either I have gestational diabetes, however my doctor doesn't seem to think so because when I was tested 2 months ago I passed with flying colors, or, it could be that there is a family history of big babies, or everything could level out and the baby will catch up to itself! The doctors want to monitor the growth which means I get to have another ultrasound at 28 weeks! Which I am WAY excited for! So happy we will get to see our baby again. My doctor is not at all concerned, she said it's still very early in the pregnancy and she doesn't like to make any assumption about how big the baby is going to be before 28 weeks, and even then, the ultrasounds aren't reliable. So, I am mentally preparing myself for pushing out a large, big headed baby!
In other news, I have finally started feeling the baby moving around in me a little bit, it feels like tiny little knocks on my uterus! It happens randomly throughout the day and then won't happen for a few days, and then I will feel it again, it's getting me excited because it means that the kicks are coming soon!
So, those are the big updates for now! I will keep you up to date as things progress!!
Love,
Paul and Wendy
