We are so thrilled to be expecting a little princess!! We had our big ultrasound yesterday and she is measuring perfectly. She was sleeping throughout the whole appointment so I was a little bit nervous that we wouldn't be able to get the "money shot" but we got a good shot of her legs up and spread apart and there wasn't anything hanging out in between them! I was surprised to learn that I have an anterior placenta which means the placenta is in front of the baby. While this is completely normal, usually it means you can't feel the baby moving until a little bit later on because the placenta acts as a sort of barrier between you and the baby. They said its probably due to my size that I am lucky enough to feel her moving around in there already!
Today I went in for my regular doctor appointment and the doctor said he looked over everything from last night and that she looks perfect! All of my blood work is great, my urine is clean, and my uterus is growing like it should be. He says since my uterus and baby are growing right on track that I shouldn't be concerned at all about not really showing, just that I'm carrying her really well right now. Apparently, its a GOOD thing my boobs have been so sore and are growing. It means I will have a better chance of being able to produce the amount of milk necessary for breastfeeding. He does think I need to be drinking a lot more water throughout the day, which I knew, and I'm really trying!! Then he listened to the baby's heartbeat with the doppler and he said she was very active. Every few seconds you could hear a THUD on the doppler and those were the kicks! All in all he said everything looked fabulous! Now we just have to think of a name for our baby girl :)
