31 Weeks

I had my 31 week appointment on Monday and on Tuesday an ultrasound. I gained one pound in two weeks and the heartbeat was at 150 again. Jason didn't think he could make it to the ultrasound, so my mom came instead. I was laying on the bed with my big belly exposed when my mom walked in the room. The first thing she says without even seeing the baby on the screen was "I am going to cry". It meant alot for my mom to be there with me. I was so grateful she was able to see the little one. She saw the face and even asked the technician to scroll down to the butt so she could see the sex. We didn't see the sex of the baby. As my mom and I were in the ultrasound, Jason walked in and joined the party. My mom preceded to ask questions about the baby and was amazed at what she could see. She now thinks the baby is a girl. The baby is still breech so the doctor said we have a few more weeks to allow it to turn. So hopefully this precious baby in my belly will start to wiggle and giggle itself down to the birth canal ready to go in 8 weeks.

My fluid went up from 8 to 15 and the doctor said that was normal. So I go back on Feb. 13th and will see the doctor. I don't have another ultrasound scheduled...kind of odd for me and out of the normal not to have one scheduled.

Side note...the crib and dresser came in this week. WOW! I am having a baby!

YAH!!! How exciting!!! I agree with your mom, "IT'S A GIRL!" You will be one great momma. I am glad everything looks good. This is one part that I wish I could have. Pictures of the ultrasound and going to hear and see the baby. I look at pictures online and of other peoples ultrasounds to guess what our baby would look like. You are so very blessed. I am very happy for you and can't wait to see HER! haha

Yeah, your crib and dresser came! You are going to be a mommy in 8 weeks! I'm so excited Sharon!! I will pray hard that the baby turns around so you can have him/her naturally.
