Week 26 Update

Pouting already!













Finally a good profile view







The anticipated week of my pregnancy has arrived. I am now 26 weeks along; right where I was when I went into preterm labor with Logan and began bed rest. My doctor had me come in for an ultrasound to check cervical length and examine me. All looked GREAT!!! Now some of the anxiety has subsided. Hopefully this pregnancy will cocntinue along this path and be a better experience.

During the ultrasound we finally were able to get some better pictures of baby girl. You could see her opening and closing her mouth and sticking out her lip to pout.

Ultrasound

Today we had another ultrasound just to double check everything and look at the heart more closely. All the chambers of the heart were functioning properly, along with the pulmonary valve and vein. It was a huge sigh of relief to know the heart looks great and no serious abnormalities were evident. There was one problem, this baby girl is VERY hard-headed already. Of course I wanted for them to double check that it was a girl. Well, this little pill decided to cover herself up with her foot. Finally she moved her foot for a split second and the technician was able to see a slight glimpse of the girl parts. The perinatologist says that all signs are still saying that it's a girl. We are very excited, just a little worried that we have been told more than once that this baby is hard-headed. I say we blame Tony! Now we look forward to achieving our next milestone, 26 weeks. We are 2 weeks away, but staying very optimistic.

Sorry for not posting an ultrasound picture but all you would get was a picture of her spine. I don't find that very intreging.
