baby update

So on the 16th of July, we had our first ultrasound. I was ecstatic to see the baby, and to make sure everything was looking okay. As soon as I saw it, I was so relieved, and just happy that it looked good. We got some good profile pics, and a pic of it's arm. We didn't get a for sure shot on the sex of the baby, but the ultrasound tech said she thought it was a boy, just 'don't paint anything yet'. When I went to the dr. right after the ultrasound, he said that my fluid levels were low, and that we needed to watch them very closely. I was scheduled in for another ultrasound on the 30th to double check the levels. In the meantime, I was supose to drink, drink, and then drink some more. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. lol. But the dr. said that if the levels didn't increase, then I would have to go on bed rest. YIKES! So the two weeks dragged by. Yesterday morning, I was so nervous to go to the dr. But we got there and had the ultrasound again. I loved seeing the baby. The baby was a bit more cooperative, and we saw for sure, that we will be adding another precious boy to our family. We also  found out following the ultrasound, that my fluid levels had gone up. I was relieved to hear that the baby was okay, and that everything was looking better. Woohoo! Here's just a couple of the ultrasound pics.

So glad to hear things are going well! I can't believe you're almost done - have you picked a name? Can I bug you to email me your mom's address when you have a sec? I have a thank you card I need to get mailed to her. My email is riliemark@yahoo. Thanks, and good luck with the delivery. Don't wait as long as I did to post baby pictures.
