Baby BUMP Update

So I have FINALLY reached the HALF WAY MARK in my pregnancy. Our little guy is doing GREAT, I have been seeing the doctor a lot the past few weeks. My doctor referred me to a high risk OB because of my history of heart "problems" (for those who don't know I have these weird episodes once in a while which include crazy heart palpitations but it is nothing to worry about...I'm healthy). So I went to see the high risk doctor (Dr. Steiger) on March 25th, Craig was out of town but my mom came to town to go with me to the doctor. It was a wonderful appointment, calmed all my fears...he said I can have as many kids as I want, and that my "episodes" wont effect my little guy at all (he said if I can stand up during my episodes then there is enough blood flow to get to me and the baby). The only thing he told me is that I HAVE TO have an epidural to keep my heart rate low (DARN ;o)

What was so FUN about that appointment was the ultrasound (who doesn't love an ultrasound) and they have one of the ones that does the 3D it was neat to see him again. It has only been a few weeks since my first ultrasound and he has gotten so much BIGGER in just a few weeks. It was fun to see him and all his ribs, and feet, and his PROFILE (which we couldn't really see last time...not totally developed). Also, when we first started the ultrasound he was playing peek-a-boo with us...he had his arm up over his eyes and then pulled it down to say hi, then back up again.

Here he is in "3D" (Note: it's not really 3D it is just made to look that way, so things in front of him look like they are on top of him or touching him but they aren't)

I think he is SO CUTE! I can't wait to meet him...He is going to be so much fun and DEFINITELY an active one...he is constantly swimming in my belly.
So here I am...21 weeks along. I have another ultrasound tomorrow...and CRAIG GETS TO COME!!! We are so excited to see our little guy!
This picture was an accident...Craig was snapping away on the camera and caught this...but I think it shows how big my belly is the best.

Super fun! Just you wait until it is really big. I guess I "scared" Lanae when she saw how big my belly was with Shane! Have fun with another ultrasound.

Glad to hear you and baby are both healthy. And those 3D ultrasound photos are precious!

You look so cute pregnant! I wasn't aware of your heart condition but great that it's nothing serious and that you're able to go see the doctor often. I love the sonogram pics and already looks like a Craig jr. =)

Yes, you look so cute with your 'belly' now! He is growing so much! I was so glad to be able to go with you to one of your appts.! And now you have a video of your ultrasound....since I was quietly sitting there in the room: why not shoot some video? I hope they turned out. Did you see the 'bubble' yesterday? Great post and great pictures, honey!!

OMG!!! How are you? I just ran randomly across your blog! I always wondered what happened to you guys! Congrats on the pregnancy. Let's keep in touch!

Teandra said...

I know! I love blogging, it's great! (so is facebook) We aren't in the Poplar Grove Ward anymore. We bought a condo in the summer of '07, so we were only at Eagle's Landing for 1 year. We now live in the Ft. Union/Cottonwood Heights area. It's gonna take me awhile to catch up on what you guys have been up to!

You are so cute! And I think epidurals are GREAT!*S* I'm glad everything is good.

Heather Anne said...

Oh man... you have to get an epidural? Darn... (wink, wink)

You look so cute! Congrats!!!
