Ok, first things first – nothing to panick about – I am here for monitoring cause I slipped on a wet floor and fell, at my doctors office of all places. It was a really minor fall and if this had happened elsewhere I would not have been here, I don’t think – but they freaked a little and didn’t want to take chances so here I am. It took forever to get me hooked up to the monitors – first it was the tons of paperwork, and then it was equipment mulfunction. By then I could have told them I had done enough monitoring on my own and that judging from all the healthy kicking and movements baby is just fine. But of course they won’t just take my word for it.

Today was the day of my routine 20-something week sonogram, which is why I was at my doctors office. I was there with DH and also had DD with me this time. I figured if hopefully nothing goes wrong this might be the last chance to see my new little one before birth. So I wanted DD to have at least had this experience. Of course its hard enough for an adult to fathom the miracle of what’s happening, what more a toddler. She immediately lifted her shirt and wanted to be “sonogramed” too.
Baby is doing perfect, measuring right on track, 1lb 4 oz, heartrate of 150 and in breech position for now. Unfortunately baby was facing my back and it was real hard to get a good picture. The monitor wasn’t showing great quality either it seems I got better photos from my 16 week scan. But mainly I am happy that all is well. It was also so trippy to see movement on the screen and to aactually feel it at the same time! Right now as I am typing this, baby is actively trying to kick the monitoring device off my tummy – so funny. I actually just saw the movement – which makes it the first time for tthis baby

Hopefully it will not be too much longer and I’ll get to go home. Its actually trippy to be here again. We got to walk into the room where DD was born for the first time since birth. Amazing to think that I am going to be back here… in about 16 or so weeks to be meeting my new little one!
