New pics of Baby Preston...

Today we went for our second ultra-sound. I have to admit I have been worrying alot in these last two weeks. (probably more than in the last 3 years combined) I have felt pretty bad the last few days, and have had some pretty major cramps. I was just anxious to make it to this ultra-sound and make sure the baby is all right. We saw that little heart beating, and the little arms and legs beginning to grow... it's still just amazing. We have video of the ultra-sound, but I haven't figured out how to get it on here yet. I will try later. These pictures were alot harder to see than the last ones, but you get the idea.The baby's heartbeat was 181 bpm, which is good, and they said my due date is Aug. 27th. This was my last appointment at New life, and I almost started bawling when I thought about it. These people, Dr. Ripps, Linda, Kim have all been a huge part of my life for a year now. They have supported me and cared for me and it's like leaving good friends. I will miss them all. I'm definitely going back when I'm nice and huge because they LOVE to see baby bellies. I will call on Monday and make an appointment with Dr. Hennessey. It will be nice to be a regular patient, but it'll never feel the same as New Life. The people are one of a kind. I also got some very, very, very good news today!!! I only have 12 more days of shots, and all my meds and then I'm done! You cannot even imagine how happy I am about that. Once I've hit 10 weeks the placenta creates enough progesterone to support the pregnancy on it's own. Tomorrow is Jeremy's birthday, he's turning 26. We are gonna have a little cook out at his moms house and grill hamburgers, and all that kind of stuff. It'll just be family, cause if you know Jeremy he's not into big gatherings. (even when it is family) I'm sure we'll have a good time. Hope you all have a great weekend! Love, -Me

I think it's funny that you're due date is now the same as mine!!!

It is weird to switch from a vag u/s to a belly. The picture isn't clearer, but it sure is nice!

Yeah for graduating. Such a good feeling, isn't it?!

~~HUGS~~

I haven't been here in a while and got a second to check on you! I know you are still nervous! I am so excited for the things God has in store for you and Jeremy. I enjoy reading your posts and seeing your pictures you share. Praying for you!

I love seeing ultrasound pics and trying to figure who they may look like and what features they have. I am sooo excited for you and Jeremy and can't wait for you to get a big belly and then see what he/she looks like. I haven't decided what I would like it to be yet. Talk to you later.
