A Special Appointment: 28 weeks

Today was my 28 week ultrasound and Doctor's appointment. It was also the first time Sophia was able to see her brother through an ultrasound. She did not say much during the ultrasound, but she could probably tell you more than I could now. You could see her intently listening to every word and the "wheels" churning in her head. The only concern she had was prior to the ultrasound she was worried they would have to cut her mommy's tummy to be able to see the baby and get a picture. Later, she held the pictures of her brother and wanted mommy to take a picture of her and her brother (as she held up an ultrasound picture). It was pretty cool.

As for the appointment, everything looks good. I will now be going to the doctor every two weeks so that my progress can be monitored. Our baby boy weighs over 2.5 pounds and is already a few ounces heavier than his sister. The goal is to make it into the first week of February if not longer. My braxton hicks contractions are making their daily appearances, but I have become pretty good at controlling them.

Days like today make us realize how close we are to another life changing event...the birth of our son and Sophia's brother. We are excited and feel so blessed. Life is good.
