Our appointment yesterday went so well. We got to see Colson on the ultrasound, and we were able to bring home the most perfect ultrasound picture! I have a NORMAL level of amniotic fluid!!!!!! THANK GOD!!!! It was amazing to see the difference in the picture quality! She was able to see his bladder (which was full, by the way!) and most of his other organs! He is HEALTHY!
I don't know if I've written about this or not, yet, but after Kailee was born, I developed high blood pressure and had to be put on medication. Because of this, both Colson and I will get much closer monitoring during the second half of the pregnancy. We will receive an ultrasound every 3-4 weeks to check for growth. Pre-eclampsia can cause the baby's growth to be restricted as the blood vessels get restricted. (We are not currently having this problem as Colson is measuring in the 97th percentile for growth!) The possibility of this condition is another worry, but I'm glad they're watching closely and that we will get to see our little boy every few weeks!
I've gone into "new mommy mode." We will be bringing home a little baby in the next few months! I've started to nest. I'm ready to get his room done. I went to a consignment shop this morning (my first time!) and bought 21 outfits and only spent $29.50!!!! They're in the washer/dryer now and I'm so proud of them!
We are picking out baby bedding and updating our registry from Kailee. Thankfully, we didn't know Kailee's gender when we registed at 18 weeks last time, so have been able to keep most of what we registered for. We just need to update it to add boy things!!!!
We've decided to use gdiapers, which are ADORABLE! It consists of a cloth diaper shell and then you put either a cloth insert inside or a disposable insert inside. I have been obsessed with these diapers for some reason. It's the only thing I have let myself get excited about since Kailee died. Weird how I get excited about diapers.....
I can not express how priceless it is to hear the words "healthy baby" from a doctor---especially at the midway point. I've never experienced a "happy" second half of pregnancy, so I am definitely looking forward to enjoying that!
