We went to help Grams and Gramps with their fence on Memorial Day... and by 'we' I mean everybody other than myself:) Usually I am at LEAST a good critic, but I can't even say that for myself! I mostly sat around and enjoyed my family being together. It was wonderful. What could be better than to spend a day with people you love and get something accomplished as well. I have the coolest family ever!

Baby Chloe 36 Weeks

Baby Chloe

So I was having this nagging feeling to double check on Chloe since our last ultrasound was 20 weeks ago. It was so strong and I just couldn't shrug it, so I asked Dr. B for another look and he thought it would be a great idea. The tech found some calcifacations on my placenta-meaning that it is aging sooner than it should. I haven't heard back from the radiologist nor Dr. B, but I have an appointment tomorrow and should be able to figure out the plan. I guess typically with this situation, they check the baby through sonogram frequently from this point on to ensure the baby is getting the nutrition she needs. They will check the amount of fluid and her weight gain. If at any point she looks to be unsafe or unhealthy, I suppose they would induce. Can't wait to see what Doc says exactly.

This is the picture from our ultrasound last friday. I can not believe how life like and vivid it is. It's amazing to me that I can already tell she has a Greene nose and chubby lil cheeks at only five pounds. This makes it real for me... not that the big appendage on the front of my body isn't real enough, but it sometimes seems like just that- an appendage!

The tech said she also has hair, which Sayd didn't have much of- so that is SO exciting! Now I really can't wait to see what color it is! I think that will be the most anticipated by all.
