Vanilla Bean Baby: November 2012

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yesterday we had an appointment with the Perinatologist to have a more in depth look at Baby Bean's growth. All good news. She is doing just great and weighs 1 pound, 7 ounces, which is the 40th percentile. Maybe all the ice cream I have been eating is the reason? Anyway, the ultrasound tech was nice enough to take some 3D photos for us. Have a look!

Don't worry, she has a right arm. They just erased it from the image to better see her cute little face.

So many reasons to feel blessed this year. Hope everyone has a lovely Thanksgiving!

Good News

Yesterday we had a bit of a scare. I had been having some abdominal pain that wouldn't go away. When all of the normal causes had been ruled out, they had me go to Labor and Delivery to run more tests. I think just the mention of "Labor and Delivery" freaked me out. The nurses and nurse midwife were wonderful and treated me and the Bean like gold. John was a prince and was there holding my hand the entire time. As soon as they hooked me up to the heart monitor and I heard her little heart beat, I relaxed. I don't think there's a sweeter sound in the world. Good news, after all the tests and monitoring they couldn't find anything wrong. Better news...we got more ultrasound pictures :)

The first one is another shot at her really cute nose (John's cute nose).

The second one is her little feet from bottom up.

And the last one is her doing yoga, legs over head :)
