Belly at 7 months
Savannah's profile
Savannah looking straight at you!


So here is the 7 month ultrasound. Since we don't have a scanner, it's simply a picture of the ultrasound, so it's kinda fuzzy. I think you get the point though!

I had another check up on Friday and it went very well. My blood pressure is good, weight good, baby's heart rate good. There is not too much done at these appointments, but it's always reassuring to go and hear that everything is good. I'm now at the stage of pregnancy where I have an appointment every 2 weeks! It seems a little much this early, but I was told every doctor is different. Anyway, it is nice to be able to see her this often and ask questions that come up. Most recently I have had to ask what I can take for a cough. I've had this same dry cough for over 2 weeks now. I feel so bad every time I go into a coughing fit since it shakes up my belly so much. I feel like I'm giving her "shaken baby syndrome" in the womb. Anyway, other than the cough everything is good. :) I am now 7 months and 1 week (tomorrow). I'll post 7 month pics soon.
In other news, however still baby related, Dave surprised me the other day with the stroller and car seat we want! I'm starting to get that anxious feeling, like we're not ready, so every little thing that gets done or purchased makes me feel so much better! This definitely helped!!! We put them together right away and figured out all the latches. I'm very pleased with them! I keep going into the nursery and just staring at them. Weird, maybe...but, it just is all starting to feel so much more real! I can't wait to meet our little girl!

Latest ultrasound

We had another ultrasound today and everything went very well! Last time, Savannah was about 5 months and now she's just a few days short of 7 months, so she looked a lot less skeletal, which was nice! The tech kept commenting on her long fingers and told us that she was a very beautiful baby more than once! Maybe she says that to everyone, but she seemed pretty sincere. In any case, we think she's beautiful! She has big cheeks like me and big lips like Dave! She weighs 2 lbs 8 oz currently and is growing at exactly the rate she should be. So, I'm still due on March 8th. We'll see...some people have a feeling she's going to come early! Stay tuned for 7 month belly pics...
