18 Weeks in 4D

I went last week to my specialist again and was surprised with yet another set of sonogram pictures. With Cierra, I received one sonogram at 20 weeks, there was no such thing as 4d sonogram pictures at that time! Granted there is a BIG difference between being under a military hospital, as I was with my daughter and a civilian. The care this time around, is definitely more detailed and meticulous.

I will take more belly pictures (next time with a proper camera) this coming weekend! Wooo Hooo! I still can't believe it's been five months already!

Here are some more pictures, they are insane...and he looks like his skin is made of spam...but it's still VERY cool!

It's a Boy!

At my last visit with Dr. Barsoom, we found out that we are having a BOY! Rod is very proud of himself... you have no idea! lol I am excited as well, one of each for meeee! Yay!

Prior to my last appointment, I was required to do a 24 hour urine sample. I had to collect my pee for a whole day and night and keep it in the refrigerator the whole time. I was calling it 'my jug of love'... I even wore a shirt to match it to my appointments! Luckily Rod was there when the nurse gave me the jug and pee instructions (you should've seen his face) . Priceless. lol

My Doctors are Fabulous

Last week, I went to see my neonatal specialist, Dr. Barsoom at Bergan Mercy Hospital (who is A-Mazingly Fabulous) Click on his link here. Dr. Barsoom Introduction

I am considered high-risk, because I went into pre-term labor with C, as well as delivering 5 weeks early due to pre-eclampsia. There is a bit more they can do about pre-term labor these days, so I get a weekly shot at his office for the next 19 weeks and counting! We compared tattoos, during my first visit.. ha ha!
My primary care physician is Dr. Heather Taggert (who is equally fabulous) Click on her link here. Dr. Taggart Introduction

16 Weeks

Here is a picture I took c ouple of weeks ago, when I was 16 weeks! What a difference 5 weeks can make! ha ha I finally have a belly, that somewhat looks pregnant!

There is a little something about me that most people probably wouldn't assume. I am not one of those women who relish being pregnant. It's because I'm a bit of a control freak....and good luck having control over your body when you are pregnant...just sayin' lol
