New Baby Pics!

Today we have our 1st of our monthlong weekly songrams. The baby looked great...good heartbeat of 148 (the little peanut is consistent --- it was 147 last weekend). The subchorionic bleed looks to us like it was healing. Will have to wait for the doctor to look at it later. Bad news is I do have to continue bed rest. I knew I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up :) It will be okay though. We will get through it. Anything we can do to help our little baby we will do! Below are some of the pictures from today's sonogram...now it really looks like a baby!!!

This picture is the baby's profile...what a cute nose :)

This next picture is of the baby's face looking at us! Kind of alien-like huh! Looks like a job for Scully & Mulder! (X-Files reference in case you aren't privy to knowing such an amazing show!)

This last picture is of the baby's hand. To Aunt Kari & Uncle Bob's delight it looks as if this little peanut is already starting to develop "metal hands" to better rock out to Metallica!! :) You should be proud of your niece/nephew!

So overall, I guess I am happy to report that things are going okay. I haven't been doing a whole lot during this bedrest time. I have watched a lot of tv...I have learned a lot from HGTV! I have worked on the baby's cross-stitch a little bit but then I get tired and lay down :) The cats have kept me great company which is nice. Jingles likes to lay with me on the couch. I think that Jingles wants to make her presence known to the baby with her purring. She lays right up against the belly! So cute!

Well our next appointment is next Tuesday at 3:30 p.m....so let's hope for more healing! :)
