Monday, May 4th, Scott and I entered Clinic Sophia for our 28 week (7 month) appointment. We had a scare a couple weeks back as I went into the emergency room with severe abdominal pains. I had been having contractions for just about 2 hours that were 30-50 seconds long and 2-3 minutes apart. After several tests, everything was fine with the baby (thank goodness). But we found that my body was actually passing kidney sediments (like kidney stones, I guess) and that's why I was having contractions.
So at this appointment, I was nervous what the doctor might say. But, they said that everything is progressing along rather smoothly!! So, I just have to SLOW DOWN and cut out all pop in my diet and hopefully I won't have any more issues with the kidney pain. It was no fun, I will tell you what!!
At this point the baby is about 7 months (28 weeks) along and is around 3 pounds!!! YIKES!! The baby is growing in the 73 percentile! I am definitely having a large baby!!
They did show me the most amazing ultrasound images in 4D. In these pictures the munchkin looks like a little porcelain doll. You can see it's chubby little cheeks, it's little button nose, it's little foot... I guess they really only do this ultrasound when the baby's beginning to get a little bit more fat on its body so you can truly see its features. Check it out...
Doesn't he/she resemble Scott?? It has his nose for sure! :)
Can you see its little foot up by it's face?? :)
Here are some of the other ultrasounds pics from our 28 week appointment...
Here is its little face looking up at the camera. If you tilt your head to the right you can see its closed eyes, nose, lips...
The pics amaze me everytime. I can't believe I have life growing in my belly! It's crazy to me!
