It's Crowded in Here

As a lot of you know, I didn't end up having an exam (check for further dilation and effacement) at my appointment this past Monday. My OB was out of town. So, my nurse saw me instead. She did the standard measuring, check of the heartbeat, and answered all of my questions. Then, we chatted for a while. Long story short-I left extremely happy because she said that I could have another ultrasound!!! We wasted no time. We made an appointment for 3:15 today. Ultrasound Technician Comments:

• "Everything looks great. All normal."
• "Wow. You have a lot of amniotic fluid in there. When your water breaks, watch out!"
• "Her heart is gorgeous." (Even though she was obviously referring to the 4 chambers, I almost started crying.)
• "Yes, she's definitely still a girl."
• "Look at those sweet little lips." (I'm sure she says that about all of the babies. But, again, here come the water works!)
• "To answer your question, no, that is not hair-she is waaayyy down in your pelvis and lying on her side. It's a shadow."
• "Looks like her weight is around 7 lbs and 1 oz. But, I could be off a pound or so."

Can't wait to meet you Baby Raegan!
