Pregnancy Update

Last Wednesday I went for a sonogram to check on baby boy. The doctor wanted to do a sono at the beginning of my third trimester to check on the cyst they found in his brain. According to all the research I had done and the doctor, they usually disappear by the third trimester. I was never nervous about this and had peace from day one, but having a sono is always a bit scary. Our sono tech was not friendly at all and just got to the point. She is not allowed to tell us anything, so judging from her demeanor alone I was afraid the cyst was still there. However, when Dr. K walked in the room, he immediately said baby looked perfect and there was NO CYST. Hooray!

Baby measured in at 3.4 lbs and 15 inches. That is heavier but shorter than average. I can't imagine him being a short guy. His little profile looked exactly like Caroline's at birth so I won't be surprised if they look alike.

The only issue now is that he is breech. I am more worried about this than anything. I DO NOT want C section. I have plenty of water and he can still move around, but I am still reading everything and doing all sorts of exercises to get him to flip. I am terrified of being cut open!

As far as me, I am feeling great other than a bit of heartburn/indigestion, still trying to exercise, and have gained 20 lbs according to me last appointment. I would love to only gain around 10 more...we'll see how that goes. I gained a ton in my last trimester with Caroline.

We are finally getting around to his room. The trim carpenter is coming out next week and that will be the start of this project. I have picked out several fabrics and found a cute owl as inspiration for his room. His room will be all different blues, a limish green, brown, and white. Justin's mom, who is so talented, has kindly offered to make his bumper and I know it will be perfect.

Today I am extremely frustrated and am beginning to think 3rd trimester hormones are getting to me. My computer has some sort of nasty virus so I can't do anything on it, my pictures won't transfer from my camera to computer, I have tons of laundry, a messy house, home projects to finish before returning to work, and three year old who is busy as can be. Now that I wrote it all out it seems kind of silly to be so uptight about all this but I am finding myself on the verge of tears. I think the end of summer is getting to me too, it's always hard to return and leave Caroline and the freedom summer brings.
