30 weeks along!

I went in today for my 30 week appts. First we went to the place where they do ultrasounds and had that done. :) (I got reprimanded for not having a full bladder. I told her if I hadn't gone to the bathroom before I laid down there would have been an accident. :D )

He looks really good. We got to see all his parts and everything looks great. When she was measuring everything she measured his head and said "now don't tell your mama your head is THAT big, let's do that again". I laughed and said, "well, I wouldn't be surprised." She asked me if my daughter's head was big and I said "ohhhh yes". She said "well maybe it is that big then!" and yes, his head is huge! (greeeat)

We also got to see the heart beating and she was so happy with the perfect view of his little heart we watched it for a bit, and also saw him breathing (well, making breathing motions). She said that at 30 weeks is when you should start seeing breathing actions. It was really cool to see him 'breathing'. :) She said he's about 3lb 7oz (49%tile), perfectly average. (of course we know how those guesstimates are. Give or take a pound and a half)

Then we went over to the office for the NST. That was fine. They just hooked me up to the monitors and I relaxed for 20 minutes and he sounded great. Moving like crazy. As if I didn't know that. ;) Got to hear his heart beating. That is the most comforting sound in the world.

Then they drew blood to check my platelets. They want to make sure that my blood doesn't get too thin while I'm on the heparin, so we'll be keeping an eye on it.

Next appointment is next week and at that point I will have passed the date that we lost Margaret, so hopefully I will be feeling better (more comfortable) by then. I am also having a check-in with the Maternal Fetal Specialist that has been keeping an eye on my chart. Just to check in with her.
