(BTW if you're preggo, I tag you to do this craziness)
Okay... I had a friend do an US for me last week. She said "It's either a boy or a girl with a penis. Which one do you REALLY want Katie?!" I picked boy of course :)
Here's his little wang-doodle!
Here are his arms! (to which my dad said "no, this is his penis. He takes after me." OMG! THANKS DAD!!!!!!!!!!)
His wittle foot!
His alien face
His face and his hand on his face! (is he sucking on his fingers like his mommy still does at age 24?!)
I asked her about Baby A. She's still completely there. Bumble B here is just lounging on top of her sac like it's a dang mattress or something! Glad to know he's comfy. I told my mom that he's already practicing camping, sleepin on his air mattress. We got the giggles and our friend, the tech, called us crazy and sick.
She said for now my placenta is to the side, but once everything kinda spills out of my pelvis, it'll probably be anterior. Dang AP :( I won't be able to feel him for awhile...
She also said my cervix was nice and long! And she showed it to me. Def not what I pictured it looking like...
Today I had a Dr. appointment. Sunday I moved a patient and since then I have felt period-like cramps, soreness, my vagina and uterus felt like they were going to fall out, and I just wanted to hold my crotch. Last night I had this really bad cramp come and go. I thought about it and it sounded like a Braxton Hicks, but I'm way too early for that right? I mentioned this all to my Dr and she did a pelvic to check my cervix. Said all was shut, Yaay!

5 people that love me told me so:
Awww he is so sweet! I'm glad you got to see him again!
I had that pain when I was preggo too. I was growing so fast for my little body *at the time* and everything just hurt! If you can, try going to a pool or in a cool hot tub. Something to take the pressure off that area. It really does help!
*HUGS*
He is already beautiful! So glad things are going well.
when I was about where you were in pregnancy, I had weird cramping feelings too. It's just your uterus stretching. =)
Katie, you won my giveaway! PM me your mailing address on the bump so I can send you your goodies!
