Baby Thompson

We had our ultrasound done last night! It was so much fun! This little one in my tummy is an active little guy/girl let me tell you! The ENTIRE ultrasound we could see arms flinging and legs kicking and of course I could feel these kicks which got REALLY hard by the end! Dr. Schad felt all of these kicks and kept apologizing because the baby was so active that there was NO way we were getting a good look at that adorable little face! So instead he switched over to 3D/4D and got us a quick little snapshot of his/her face and we also got a pretty cool picture of the babies skeleton/spinal cord area!

Baby is breech right now which means nothing at this point except that the little bug can go head down and back up to breech every single day! This wont become a problem until 36 weeks or so! Heartbeat was 136 beats per minute, heart, kidneys, thigh bones, skeleton, brain, everything is looking great!

We were informed once again (not that this is bad) that we will be having another large baby more than likely! At this point we are still on track for a July 23rd due date but the size of the baby is in about the 80th percentile for size...which is pretty much right where Adi was too! And who could forget that she came out at 9 pounds, 5 ounces!

So with that being said, VBAC/C-Section has been discussed once again! At this point I am still not willing to discuss a c-section. My goal is to deliver vaginally, however, if medically necessary for myself or for the baby we will go ahead with the c-section! We just hope with another large baby that I dont go through all the labor, hours of pushing, forceps and THEN have to have the c-section again! Doing that is one of the reasons I had such a difficult recovery. As my doctor put it, I went through both kinds of delivery in one day and THAT is not good for anyone's body! So, we will trudge along and Nick and I will make the decision that is right for me, the baby and our family!

Here she is! Or he!!!!





I have to tell you I am not much of a fan of 3D/4D ultrasounds but I am so happy we got a .5 second glimpse at their adorable little face!
