Ultrasound

Today I had another ultrasound to what that sac of blood behind my placenta is up to and I didn't really get much news. I was hoping to go in and have them say, "Oh wow! The blood has completely dissolved into the placenta so you are now off pelvic rest! You can now go to the gym, go shopping, be a fun and playful mother again, and you will never have to lay down on the couch again!" Unfortunately none of this was said. The lady did the ultrasound and after she was done she said "Ok, well just continue to take it easy..." I was like... Umm... so, what about the blood sac?" She basically said that the sac is still there but she doesn't know if it's gotten bigger or smaller and that the doctor will have to take a look at it. She said that I should continue pelvic rest until the doctor tells me otherwise. Yuck! So, thus continues my laziness of not being able to do much for at least another 2 weeks until my next doctors appt. Oh well!

On a positive note, the baby still has a strong heart beat and is growing just fine! I was really relieved! He/she is now looking less like an alien and more like a baby with litle arms and feet moving around everywhere! With every ultrasound I have had, it has put me as being due March 12th or 13th, so that's when we should be able to meet this little miracle! That would put me at about 11 weeks along with only one week to go until Im out of this danger zone! I am so thrilled!

Im feeling great, except for the horrible nausea, that I have all the time, but it loves to hit me like a semi at about 9:00pm everynight and doesnt relent until the next morning which equals not much sleep but it's ok... for a healthy baby, I would go through just about anything!

Ethan is doing great considering he is stuck in the house most of the day. He is such a good boy and cracks me up everyday. Yesterday we were outside talking and Ethan came running outside like this...


He found Grandma's page markers and had a blast putting them all over his body! He kept pointing at them saying "Owie. Mommy owie!" This kid seriously can always bring a smile to your face and melt your heart!
