Grow Baby Grow!

Munchkin is continuing to make great progress! We had another ultrasound on Monday, and everything is looking good. Munchkin is now 1 lb 5 oz, according to the doctors...although I've heard they are sometimes not very accurate. We were able to see the skin that formed around the spine this time, so there's no question about that. Also, the kidney that looked to large last time was normal this time! The doctor told us not to worry because there were a lot of reasons they could appear that way, and he was right.


It was neat to watch Munchkin moving around on the screen and I was actually able to feel the movements this time! I've been feeling movements for a few weeks now and it's WONDERFUL! I love knowing our little one is getting stronger and developing with the little reminders, although sometimes bigger than other times, of bumps and kicks. It took awhile for Munchkin to cooperate, but Eric was able to feel Munchkin moving too!

We will continue to visit the high risk clinic until 31 weeks or so...that means 3 more visits. Next week they test to make sure I'm not releasing any chemicals that will start labor to early. Although it's time consuming, I've really enjoyed being able to see our little one grow with all the ultrasounds!


We are also working on making some room in the house for our new little one. Step one is to tear out and then refinish the basement. Eric is thankful that our friend Dan is helping with this one :-) After the basement is finished, we will move the office downstairs and begin on the nursery. We are thankful to have some hand me down furniture from Cheryl, Eric's sister, and I've already got the bedding set. Once all the fun house projects are done we will be sure to put some pictures up.


Below are the latest pictures. One of Munchkins itty bitty foot and the others are profiles. Enjoy!
