Patience is a virtue

Status: 21w2d


Patience is a virtue that I try REALLY hard to be good at, but I'm just not. So as much as we were planning to stay on Team Green through the rest of this pregnancy I couldn't take the anticipation and, and I caved yesterday. 


As promised, we are announcing it with the hat (just not in the way I imagined)....

Our anatomy scan went really well. He (that's fun to say!) is measuring 75% at approx 1lb. He is perfect in every way and slept right through the whole thing all curled up on his little pillow (aka placenta). He is vertex (head down) and completely anterior. Although I doubt it, I am hoping he will stay just as he is. I'm suspecting his position is why I actually look bigger than I ever have before. Here is my pic from Thursday:




Also, we had our 20 week midwife appointment on Monday. It was good. Bucky hated the doppler and swam away and kicked/pushed at it, but Brenda caught him and he had a beautiful heartbeat at 148. My blood pressure is still great, too! 

It's been a busy week, but lots of great things happening!

  2. YAY!!! I can't believe you didn't mention this when we saw you guys yesterday! But oh well, now we know (or I do, anyway, Marcus is pretty oblivious ;)). That's so exciting! Have you told Eli that he's going to have a little brother? I feel like he's probably old enough now to understand the difference. Talia, not so much yet, lol, but I'm sure she'll enjoy it too :) And I love your mom's comment, btw, it made me LOL ;)
