So I have not updated this thing in so very long mainly because I am busy busy busy but also because I have been down right exhausted by the end of the day! I am 19 weeks with our precious little baby and had our anatomy scan today. We found out at 15 weeks (during an ultrasound to check cervix and fluid r/t history of preterm labor) that we were most likely having a girl and today it was definitely confirmed!!!! I am over the moon as I have been holding back my shopping urges until finding out for sure! Let the shopping begin! This little girl has been so different so far then the boys its amazing. I was SOOO sick for like 14 weeks with her and barely with the boys. I gained alot of weight early with the boys and barely any with her...although you wouldn't know by looking at me! During every ultrasound with the boys they basically cooperated today, this little lady did not want her picture taken and we even have to go back in a month to get more shots that they couldn't get today! She is head down, which can still change numerous times at this point, and was all curled up with her feet tucked up and hands in her mouth! It was so cute what pictures we could actually see due to positioning. However, when checking out her lady parts her legs were perfectly positioned :)
I have been having a pretty good pregnancy so far despite the early sickness and despite the one day of contractions that did subside they are just watching me closely. Since I had preterm labor with Parker I have monthly cervical ultrasounds to check length and although it has decreased it is still a good length. The only thing I have been complaining about lately is just being so tired. I sleep all night, go to bed way early and still am exhausted yawning all day. I mentioned it to my doc, chalking it up to my busy schedule with the family, school, and work but he did a quick finger poke and sure enough I am very anemic. So, easy fix, take a couple extra pills a day, and hopefully I will be gaining more energy! It just goes to show you can't just chalk up everything to just being pregnant. Hopefully I will be with much more energy soon!! I will leave you with a recent picture of me and our baby! Update soon!!
