Bambino Update

We had another appointment today and all is going very well!  We heard our darling girl's little heartbeat which was beating at a fast 141 beats per minute and the doc measured my tummy...vertically.  This is the first time she has done that.  I measured at 24 cm and she said that is right on target.  By the end of 40 weeks, we will be at 40 cm!  That's approximately me growing 1 cm per week!  Big Momma's going to be up in the house soon!

I gained a total of four L-Bs from my last appointment, which again is good.  We are currently six pounds on the positive side!

Our next appointment is on August 2.  We will have an ultrasound performed to see if my placenta has decided to make the move to the tippity top of my womb and we will get to say hello one last time to our little bambino before we meet her in person!  That is, unless my placenta hasn't moved.  I think another ultrasound may be scheduled if that is the case, but, for now, this is the last view we will have before the real thing!  Which, by the way, is only +/- 15 weeks away!  That is insane!

On one other note, I absolutely love my doctor.  She is amazing and incredible and so easy to work with.  She makes me feel at ease.  She answers our questions.  She takes her time with our concerns.  She is caring and attentive and wonderful.  We could not ask for anything more.  I do hope that she will be there come D-day because she is just that awesome!

So, in three weeks time, we should have another update with some photos of our little girl to post!

And we simply cannot wait to see how much she has grown!

We love you, sweet girl!
