Ultrasound Today!

Jamie is definitely still a boy, we got a great image of his ballsack but not much else. :lol

He is in breech position and pretty squished in there it looked like so they said he may not switch positions. It's no big deal though since I'm having a c-section anyways. She measured his foot and said he is measuring about 3 inches foot size. She also said he has a large head and is measuring about 6 lbs 9 oz currently give or take a few oz. That puts him in the 72nd percentile for right now if the measurements are right according to her chart.

Otherwise everything looked great, the fluid levels are good and his heart and everything looked great. So even though I am losing weight he is gaining quite well which makes me feel better. She also said he is really low down there but I thought he was still high up so who knows. No profile shots because his face is snuggled up to my back apparently.

So it's crappy weather out and I only live a few blocks from my doctor's office. So with my paranoia about cars and accidents I decide it's best to walk even though it's drizzling a little and it's been raining off and on all day. So I'm on my way and I take a little shortcut through this shopping center (I'm walking in the grass to avoid cars). Well the grass slopes down a hill and as soon as I hit the hill my feet went flying out from under me and I landed on my butt/back and maybe hit my head bit then slid about halfway down the hill. Now luckily enough it was soft, squishy, wet grass so there wasn't much of an impact. However, unluckily enough it was soft, squishy, wet grass with about an inch or so of water, maybe more. So I'm a block from the doctor's and I am completely soaked from the back of my hair to my shoes all the way through to my underwear. This made the rest of the walk interesting but thankfully I wore thinner pants so by the time I borrowed a towel at the doctor and left from my appointment I was mostly dry. This is my third, yes third fall this pregnancy. My DH thinks I need a padded world to live in (and yes I'm normally this clumsy in fact actually more so normally so I am doing better I guess).

I should say that I'm pretty sure if anyone saw me fall it was probably fairly amusing. I have the impression that it was a lot like someone falling over a cartoon banana peel.

Now on to my appointment update:
Everything looked good, Jamie is measuring dead on which makes me wonder if he'll be smaller than Dom, Dom was measuring ahead at this point. I lost another pound so we are watching that but since Jamie is showing signs of growth they are not too concerned yet. They dropped my blood sugar testing down to twice a day, I am incredibly thrilled. That's about it. Next appointment is the day after Christmas.

In other news we got the Christmas Postcards in and they printed amazingly! We'll be sending them out soon. Also Dom got his first school pictures taken and they turned out amazing. We are going to scan them in soon so we can post them.

Our Christmas Cards..

I finally got our Christmas Cards done. John's sister Laura took these fabulous photos and I used Dielle's Fa La La La Page Kit to put it all together.


In other news my laptop completely pooped out yesterday and we decided that continuing to fix it was costing more than just getting a new one. We managed to get some financing so now I'm typing from my new Gateway M-series notebook. It has 320 GB of memory compared with the 80 GB from my old one, 4 GB of RAM vs the 1 GB I had in my old one, and even a web cam/camera with audio.

I am absolutely loving it though I am slightly stressed about getting everything off of my hard drive from the old computer. The new one also burns DVDs and CDs so I can make backups a lot easier.

Otherwise I'm 32 weeks and a few days pregnant and only 7.5 weeks away from my csection date! It's coming up pretty soon.
