Sonogram Day

Heath and I went back to the dr. today for our 1st sono. I had my 1st monthly appt last week. According to my last period I should be about 13 weeks but she thought I was measuring 15+. So she wanted a sonogram done ASAP to find out my true due date.

It is one of the most AMAZING feelings to me when you see your baby for the first time. Both on screen and in real life. I know what to expect by now but I am still always taken back by the miracle of it all. That my little skinny baby is kicking away safely in my tummy. That after only 13 weeks of growth you can see all of the little arms, legs, hands and feet! A tiny little growing, healthy baby. WHEW!! I could go on and on.... BUT I won't!

The sono tech confirmed my 13.5 weeks of gestation--just as I thought- with a due date of April 21st. Dr. McClure said the reason my uterus was measuring big was probably because I had had a baby in the last year!! Oh yeah!

The sonogram also showed COMPLETE placenta previa. We talked about things I should and should not do and I am not too worried. I will take it easy with my workouts and try to keep Heath at bay ;) poor guy! I had partial previa with Paisley and it worked itself out by my 20th week and we are hoping it does the same this time.

So that's our update for now. I am constantly posting in my mind but little Paisley and her big sisters are keeping me soo busy. We talk CONSTANTLY about what our life is going to be like in 6 months and on from there! Right now I am not trying to get too far ahead of myself and just take in everyday. Because even though pregnancy can really SUCK...it also has some really awesome benefits that I am trying to savor as I know this is my very LAST pregnancy.
