Dear Sprout:
You're stressing me out!
We saw you at the ultrasound, but barely. You were very uncooperative for us. You had your back to us with your head between your knees and your arms up over your head. So we'll have to probably go back to get more pictures of you since you wouldn't move for anything!!
The ultrasound tech had me empty my bladder, lay on my side, lay back on my back, she pushed the wand into my belly and try jiggling it around, but nothing would make you move. You were just nice and comfy cozy in there and that was that! Your heartrate was 147 again and you were doing practice breathing movements. They did measure your heart which has 4 chambers and your brain has 2 lobes. But thats about all they could get. We did get a face shot, but it looks really creepy since your arm and hand is over you.
I found out that my placenta in the front again, so that's why I'm not feeling much movement. I feel things like tapping down real low from time to time and just in the past day I've felt what I assume is you rolling over. So that makes me feel better. I was a bit concerned that you weren't moving in the ultrasound and then I never was feeling you. But I keep telling myself if the placenta is blocking your movements from me feeling them and maybe you were just super tired when we went to see you.
Then from the ultrasound lady pushing down on your head with the wand, I've felt like a weird pain there ever since. It's also been accompanied by some pressure way down low. So I got thinking maybe it was a UTI or something and maybe I should be seen for it. So I called a nurse today and she said it all sounded normal and it could just have to do with the way that you're positioned in there as well as normal uterine stretching. She told me to really aim for drinking a gallon of water a day and to just try to rest more. (Okay lady, you try to rest with a rambunctious toddler in the house...)
I don't remember it being like this last time around, but then again, every pregnancy is different. I just want to see you again and to be assured that you are developing correctly from head to toe!
I love you to the moon and back and we can't wait to meet you baby!
Love,
Mommy
