32 weeks!


Ella and I are both doing great (Robbie too)! She had a very strong heart beat and is measuring perfect. We had our 4D u/s today...already letting us know "who is boss" she would not move her hand away from her face for us to get a full view. Hopefully next time she will be a little more cooperative.
It was pretty cool to see all of her motions on the u/s. I now know where all those mythical movements of my stomach are coming from. She has been making movements up and down from side to side, shaking, jittering, & jerking. She is definetely letting me know she is in there. Annie even got a surprise when she was resting her head on my stomach when baby Ella moved rather suddenly. Annie's head jerked up and looked at it if almost to say, "What the hell?"
I have less than 8 weeks to go!

4D u/s!


Well we gave the 4D u/s a try today... 3 times!! Ella was very uncooperative. Her little hand was in the way of her face and no matter what I did or the technician did she WOULD NOT move it away! We are going to try again in 2 weeks!

30 weeks!


It is hard to believe we are already at our 30 week mark! I am seeing the doctor every 2 weeks now. Our last visit to the doctor on Tuesday went great. We are on schedule...the doctor reminded me it is time to start packing my hospital bag, pre-registering for delivery, choosing a pediatrician and lots more on the "to do list." I can't believe how close we are getting! I am so anxious to meet my little girl.
I am still getting very little sleep at night. Partly because I have to get up to use the restroom every hour it seems. I think her little head is sitting right on top of my bladder and I'm sure the bigger she gets the less likely it will go away anytime soon :) So far I have been able to keep up at work with my 22 munchkins. They keep me thoroughly entertained and on my feet. 2 weeks from today we will go to have our 4D ultrasound and next appointment. I can't wait to see little Ella's sweet face.
