Paranoia Relief - another usound!

Okay, so on Monday, the 17th, we were able to do another ultrasound and it couldn 't have been soon enough. I seriously am so paranoid and am driving Spence crazy probably. I just really worry about if all of them are okay and are growing enough.
So needless to say, this usound was such a relief for me. We also got to meet with our perinatologist that day too; although it wasn't Dr. Porter who I was supposed to see but that's okay. It was a partner of his named Dr. Holmgren. Anyway, I talked with her about my many migranes and just as I thought, there isn't much I can do. That's okay - they go away :)

Then we were able to do our usound. Spence was there of course and his mom, Bonnie, who works at IMC was able to come down too. I was glad she was able to be there since she was so close. Anyway, here they all are; all safe and healthy so far. They all had strong heartbeats again and measured great too! The usound tech tried to look for genders and she thinks that the bigger middle one is a boy and that there is one other boy and a girl. We'll see though... that may change in the next few weeks. Hopefully, we'll find out on our next visit with our peri.

BABY A: facing down with it's little legs tucked up on the left: so cute:)
14 weeks 5 days and heartbeat was 157








BABY B: (the possible boy) He's facing down but you can kind of see his spine:
15 weeks 1 day and heartbeat was 155









BABY C: facing up- cutest little face outline with little arms and leg (floating) My doctor said this one is behind the other two so it will always be a little harder to see and maybe a little smaller.
14 weeks 3 days and heartbeat 153

"So far so good" is my new phrase! Relief filled me when I saw them. Fortunatley, I go back often for usounds and monitoring. My doctor reminded me of the possibility of bed-rest around the mid to late 20 week time and I am refusing that answer so pray along with us that I won't need to do that. I would litterally go insane I think!

  1. I am so glad that things are going well.. My fingers are crossed and my prayers are being said. And as for bed rest it is the most important option if it comes down to it.. Please know you have SO many people who love you and will help you. Please let me know if I can do anything for you ... HUGS!!
