I went to the OB's office yesterday for a regular check up. Everything is continuing to look really good. This was just an appointment where they measure the size of my uterus and listen to the heartbeat. The doctor commented on how fast my pregnancy is going by! I made sure to ask if I would be having another ultrasound before delivery to see the position of the baby since many of my ultrasounds have been labeled "breech". She looked through my file and agreed that we should do another one at 34 weeks. Hopefully Adin flips around by then! Otherwise I'm really going to start mentally preparing myself for a C-Section. At this point I just want to hold him regardless of how he comes in to the world.
Looking out the window today we finally have snow on the ground. There was a dusting last night that is sticking so far - but that will not last throughout the day I'm sure.
Many have asked me how Jake is doing with me being pregnant. I finally got some good pictures of Jake - he likes to lay with his head on my belly. He doesn't move or react when Adin kicks or pushes so I'm thinking he'll do fine once he gets over the shock of a crying baby.
I also included a shot from Monday afternoon after I took a nice long bath. Pretty sure that the belly has grown even since then!
When I was pregnant for Alex I ready a really good article to help pets adjust to a baby. I have a small dog who is a bit of a handful and I was really worried about her getting into Alex's things. Dogs are naturally curious and so the article suggested "introducing" them to a baby's things. So that is is not a big surprise when they see a bouncy seat sitting next to the couch and want to check it out when the baby is in it. We stuck a bouncy seat in the livingroom with one of Aeryn's dollies wrapped in a blanket. Occasionally we would turn it on and make it vibrate to make sure our dog was used to it and not startled by it. Our dog is now great with Alex. She does not touch his things or jump on him when he is on the floor playing.
ReplyDeleteI introduced Ashley and Jarens stuff to our dogs before I had them. I had all the stuff where we were going to be using it,and I turned it on, so when I finally turned it on with them in it, they wouldn't be curious and get all over and in their face. It worked. Its worth a try if that is something you are worried about. I LOVE the belly pic by the way. You look good :-) I agree with the doctor. It does seem like your pregnancy is going fast!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute, the twins are always trying to snuggle with my stomach at this point. I tell them to talk to Embry. Sometime they pat my stomach. Its really exciting to see them be so sweet so far. Lets hope they continue to be nice to their baby brother.
