Well I went back to the High Risk Specialist doctor for my second appointment with them. I was nervous to find out how his kidneys were doing and just kept saying over and over in my head that there would be no fluid, there will be no fluid, there will be no fluid. Andy came with me to this visit. We got there 10 minutes early in hopes of being seen right away. Man did that backfire. My appointment was at 1pm and we did not get pulled back until a little after 2pm. They were behind schedule.. :/
The ultrasound was neat to see as usual. Of course Ronan was stubborn as ever and would not cooperate.
He just kept his head tucked down into the left corner. So no good face shots. She tried to get him to move by pushing in and shaking my belly (not the most comfortable feeling) and all he did was open his mouth. lol She even tried to show us 4D but no luck. So I told Andy’s mom that we aren’t going to go pay extra to do the 3D/4D ultrasound. It wont be worth it just to see his arms and legs in 3D/4D. So after playing around with that and getting all the important measurements: his heart rate was 148 beats and he weighs a little more then 3 lbs the doctor came in. They did some more looking around and he explained that there is no problem with the kidneys as he has grown into them.
The spot is still there on the heart but he didn’t say anything about it so all is good. Yay!
Im excited to say that baby shower invitations have been mailed out and my registry is all finished. It is going to be really hard for me not to peek at my registry now.
I will definitely try because I do want to be surprised. Im excited for my baby shower that my sister, mom, mother in law and sister in law are planning. It will be lots of fun!
Andy got the main color painted in the room. It is such a pretty color. That is just step one of the process. We would make this difficult. Step two is for Andy to tape off the squares/parallelograms around the room and then paint them with the colors we have picked out. Step three is for him to print his incredibly cute custom made monsters on the walls. He has created four so far and plans on creating more. I bought these printable decal sheets online to print the monsters on. The decals are removable so no ruining of walls. I hope printing them on the special paper will work out! Below are the four monsters he created. He is so talented!




those monsters are sooooo cute!!! So glad the HR appt went well and his kidneys are fine- it is so scary being preggo sometimes!!! funny that you could be so fiercly in love with someone you’ve never laid eyes on isn’t it? Won’t be long now!!!

Thanks! I am pretty fond of the monsters myself. I love that Andy is going to be able to put his talent in the room our lil man is going to grow up in. And yes being pregnant is scary and it is amazing that you can become so attached already…I can only imagine how it feels when they are actually here! Only 10 weeks left!!!
