Anyone interested in seeing the blob?

[Keezheekoni]

I have had two ultrasounds thus far, due to being labeled "high risk" because of my age (35)... Stupid doctors. :T

Anyhow, I had Troy put the pics up on our gallery here (http://gallery.akropolys.com/v/baby_v6_0/).

The first two were done on 11/14, the baby was measuring 8w0d, while by date I was 8w5d. The last three were done on 11/20, baby measuring 8w4-6d, while by date I was 9w4d. This doesn't bother me too much, most of my kids have measured behind according to ultrasound...I know that u/s can be off by +/-7d.

I don't have another appointment until next week and I don't think I'll be having another u/s until around 20 weeks.

Very nice blob Rikki! Good work.

I can clearly see a baby there! Okay, so it's a bit of a "blob", but it's a baby!!!

Congrats to you and your family!

Don't you hate when the medical community sticks you into a box??? My second pregnancy was also considered "high risk" because I developed Gestational Diabetes and hypertension. I was only 29 at the time. My doctor was wonderful, though, very forward thinking and that was terrific.

Will wonders never cease! :) How wonderful that you young people can watch your babies grow even before they are born. How wonderful that you are sharing it with us Rikki. I am going to send a new blessing to this child everyday, because she/he has a special mother. :)

Thank you so much, Penny. :) I'm still a little shocked that I'm pregnant...the last baby I had is now 5 years-old. I honestly thought that we were done (not that we were doing anything to prevent having any more kids... :) ). I figured that since I hadn't conceived in the last 5 years that either I was out of eggs, or Troy had gotten a secret vasectomy! :rofl:

Thanks for the comment, Keith. :)

As for the high risk label. I'm sick of it already. I actually feel better this pregnancy than in any of the others. I've only had one real bout of morning sickness (and that was after dinner one night), and I'm not having any other symptoms other than getting extremely tired easily. My OB is being a worry wart, but I'm not going to let her get to me. We're planning on having a home birth, so we're not telling her that. :T I'll let her run her tests and if anything comes up that is a concern, we'll change plans...but until then, I'm getting my home birth thank you very much! :D

I've always wanted to see that movie, but I would have to netflix it. Are we talking about the original or the remake here? I guess I could find a torrent, if my download limit lets me..

Hey Rikki, Congratulations! You have a beautiful baby, and someday soon we will recognize it in pics :)

[andypoo]

That is the cutest,most precious little blob I've ever seen!LOL! Thanks so much for letting us witness this miracle. It also gives hope for those girls out there who are a little "older" and have the big "D". My daughter has pre-"D" and is going to be 31 and is still trying for her first little miracle. I'm praying for her and her husband,for whatever God has planned for her.
