BH2: 9 more weeks

On my 30th week and 6th day of this pregnancy I went in for an ultrasound to check on BH2’s health and development.

My OB had expressed concern because I was measuring too small. (Which of course, catapulted me into a feverish state of worry and research and more worry.)

In the days that I waited for my ultrasound, I was incredibly intentional about my nutrition, dietary habits, sleep positions, rest, hydration status, physical activity and cautious during my play with Bella. I had convinced myself that I could fix this measurement problem in the week before the ultrasound. Ha!

I had really wanted Bella to be there for the appointment, unfortunately Charles and I both got held up at work too long to allow us to pick up Bella before my appointment.

All in all, BH2 is doing great!

Weight: 3.4 lbs
Percentile: Just over 50th percentile
Heart rate: 140s
Amniotic Fluid: 15.5 (normal: 5 – 25)
Position: Head angled down by my right leg, facing forward. Legs bent and crossed at the time – directed to my left shoulder. BH2’s spine is on top of mine.
Measurements: matching my weeks
Est. Due Date: Still New Year’s Eve!
Gender: One of them for sure.

Aubrey, if there's anything I've learned it's to trust God first and foremost. And NOT to research anything on the internet. Everything will be fine!!!
