Time to catch up!

It's been a while since I've posted in here! Time to catch up, for sure. I think I'll break this up into a couple of different posts rather than one giant one.

Update one - this little boy has been very extensively "photographed", even before his birth! The last round of ultrasounds that I posted did not give a clear enough view of what the midwives wanted to see, so we went back in again a week later to try for a clearer view. I was in at 11 am a week ago Friday for the next round of ultrasounds. The good news is that once again I got to see my little boy - he had his hands crossed up in front of his face again. The tech couldn't get any clear images of anything worth printing out pictures of though, because he was all tucked up with his hands in front of his face and even his feet tucked up so she couldn't get a good image of a footprint to give me. That was fine. What was not so fine was that the image of the placenta that was the purpose of the visit was also apparently not clear enough for the midwives satisfaction, so I was back in at 3 pm that day for a second attempt with a different angle of approach.

The good news is that they were finally able to get a good, clear view of the placenta at that point, and the medical professionals involved have decided that there's no trouble signs after all - the placenta position is low, but shouldn't be low enough to cause a problem. *knock wood*

As of my last appointment last Tuesday, all was looking good on the baby front - strong heart beat, good positioning, so now it's just the waiting game to find out when the baby decides he's ready to make his appearance to the world!
