So now we know the gender of the baby, she is a girl. Her name is Alice Mae.
We also had a little 3d/4d ultrasound done the same day we found out the gender so I'll add a picture of that too.
...and a big yawn!
Those pictures were done when she was 18 weeks 3 days!
---- Skipping ahead ----
I am now 28 weeks 4 days as of today, but I went from this:
to:
this at 28 weeks. I have gained 30 lbs total, 10 of those pounds in the last month alone.
At our last ultrasound on July 25th, she was measuring ahead by 1 day. She was 2lbs 9oz and looking good, we had a scare about there being a problem with Alice's heart, but the last ultrasound showed only the little leaflets that open and close the valves showing up, which may have been the bright spot they thought they saw. She was so cute tho, she was opening and closing her eyes and mouth, playing with her tongue. I really cannot wait to meet her!
So far for baby stuff, we have a TON of 0-3month old baby clothes, I mean a ton. We also bought her a very nice Eddie Bauer bassinet and painted it matte black, and got a Basset sleigh crib, it's so pretty, but since we got it on Craigslist, its missing some hardware which we need to go pick up.
So far, so complications with the pregnancy [knock on wood] and other than my back/hip/body pains I feel fine. I am anemic and I am trying hard to take the iron supplements that they gave me, but I am sure I am low on iron still.
My next appointment with my OB, Doctor Salerno, is on Tuesday August 2nd. That will the the last appointment that is I have with her that is every 4 weeks. I see her every 3 weeks for 2 appointments, then starting September 23rd, I go weekly. My appointments are usually Friday mornings at 11:45am.
My baby shower for her is going to be on August 20th @ noon at my mom's house. I am really excited to see everyone who is coming and hoping to have my maternity pictures done by then so maybe I can put out a few for people to see!
