Sneak Peek

This picture is from my latest, and hopefully last, ultrasound that was done 9/11. Every ultrasound I've had the tech has tried to get a clear shot of his face but he refuses to move his hands out of the way. So this is the best we've gotten. He does appear to have a fully formed lip/palate, which was a huge relief to Todd.

It's strange enough to think about having a little person growing inside of me, but even stranger when you see him on the big screen.

New blog for a new family

Finally got around to setting up a blog to share our stories and adventures with family and friends. I meant to start blogging about my pregnancy around week 12 or so, but here I am starting week 31 and this is my first post. Better late than never, right?

A quick update of the last 31 weeks. We found out we were pregnant in March, and from the beginning this has proven to be quite the journey. I lived on Zofran for the first 20 weeks or so, and Todd had to give me shots of Progesterone until around that time as well. We found out that we're having a boy, which, although I would have been happy with a boy or a girl, deep down I really wanted a boy. Most recently I've been on light-duty due to a small abruption that happened around week 22. I'm grateful that work has been so accommodating with me so I didn't end up on bed rest for 4 months. As difficult as the pregnancy has been on me, baby appears to be healthy as can be, which is all that really matters after all.

Things are looking up, and the end is clearly in sight! Little Mason Patrick will hopefully be making his first appearance around Thanksgiving, giving us much to be thankful for this year.
