TOO Healthy

That's what the specialist told me today... "Everything looks perfect! No blood and placenta previa risk is now completely gone. You're too healthy to be here!" Music to our ears, lemme tell ya! From now on I'll just be seeing my regular OB. We'll miss seeing the baby every couple weeks, but couldn't be happier to say good-bye to the specialist's office. Every person in that office is amazing though. They're all truly interested in how we {baby, hubby, and I} are doing and are so informative and kind. We couldn't have asked for better experiences during our visits.

Baby T was kicking up a storm today!! Pretty rhythmically too! The sonographer was commenting "Bend-and-kick! Bend-and-kick!" Several mentions of soccer players and karate kicks were made too. She was also tickled to death by all the faces the baby was making ~ super cute! It's like the baby knew that this was our last appointment and was showing off for us! :)

We were able to see even more this time - arteries, full upper lip, kidneys, etc. Baby has also almost doubled in weight in the last couple weeks! She said the baby was about the length of a dollar bill and the weight of a can of coke. It's crazy how we're almost at the half way mark and the baby isn't even a pound yet, but will be several when it's born. It's done so much growing already, but has so much more left to do! When she was finished, our sonographer apologized for going "picture happy" as she handed us about 8 pictures of our little one. LOVE it! :) Here are two of our faves...

We are so incredibly blessed and thankful that we have such a healthy, strong baby. We can't wait to meet him/her in January!! :)
