22 Weeks!

First off, aren't ultrasound pictures kind of scary? I don't know what it is but the weird skull pictures ALWAYS freak me out!


Had another OB appointment yesterday and everything went well. Blood pressure measured in at 122/75 after running up and down a flight of stairs and dealing with a Darsie who wanted to play with the hazardous waste container and didn't want to be held. Urine was fine as well. Heartbeat was 142 bpm.

I had been feeling a tearing pain on my left side when I picked D up or held her, so I asked about it and my OB confirmed it was probably round ligaments. She said to keep holding Darsie as long as I wanted to. I also asked about travel since Darsie was born at 28 weeks. She said I knew the risks of travelling and it was up to me but as long as my tests were all coming back normal, I could go and do whatever I want really but to know where the nearest hospital was just in case. We don't have any crazy trips planned but we are hoping to go to the coast for a weekend before the baby makes her appearance.

Did I mention that we made a decision on a name? Our newest little girl will be named Elise Adelaine.

I will update with ultrasound pics from last week as soon as my scanner finishes up, too. Also, a big Darsie update coming later!
