Not little girls butt...huh interesting.

So yesterday Erik and I had a doctors appt to see how everything was going with little one. We get there late because the guy who cut Eriks hair right before fudged it up and he had to fix it before we went. After his hair looked presentable we were off to the docs. We waited in the waiting room for only a little bit before I had to go in for my weigh in. So these weigh in's are my least favorite thing about the visit because I dread seeing how much weight I gained. So I step on....huh I lost 2 pounds. Awesome. The doc the appointment before said that I may have not been eating enough and that my body was keeping hold of the weight I had as a reserve and to try to eat more. So Erik and I have been eating "clean" as they say and I feel great because of it. Doc said she wasnt concerned about the weight loss at all. So thats good. Ok so on to the exam, she puts the icky goo on my tummy and notices that my tummy is in a giant ball in one spot. As my body was doing this she said to me that the buldge was not little girl but a Braxton Hicks contraction. What! This whole time I thought those buldges were babys butt or back. She said people often think the same thing and that it is really hard to explain unless you see it in action. Im so glad she told me, I would have gone on the whole pregnancy thinking I am rubbing by babys butt. LOL. So I felt very educated after that. She checked little girl and her heartbeat was great. Now I start to go every 2 week!! Yea getting close now! Only 2 months left and we get to meet our little girl.

She has his nose!


So yesterday Erik and I went to the doctor to do my diabeties test to see if I have the sugars. The drink I had to drink was awful! It was orange flavor and made me want to puke. Im all for sweet things but that drink was a bit much. We had to sit and wait an hour before they took my blood to test my blood sugar. In the meanwhile we went into the doctors office to get my bp taken and stuff. The doc asked me how I have been and I told her I was concerned that Scarlett wasnt moving alot for the past couple day. So instead of just doing a heartbeat check she took me in for an ultrasound. Cool right wasnt expecting that. So shes starts the ultrasound and there she is, that big head popped on screen and her big body so much different from the last time we saw her. Doc said she was moving but she probably just moved to a spot where I feel her less. While she was measuring and checking her out she turns the ultrasound to the 3D kind, like the one where you can see what your baby will look like before she is born. I kinda didnt want to see her because it kinda creeped me out to see her before she was born. But there she was on the screen. She was beautiful! Little tears came out. I was so happy. The first thing I said was "Erik she had your nose!". She did and she has his chin from what I can tell. He little round face was so plump and cute! I fell in love. Erik was excited and was so amazed that this was Scarlett, our little girls face. The doc printed out pics and also made a disk for us too. It was the best visit ever. I totally forgot about the nasty concoction I had drank an hour before and admired out beautiful baby girl. Our sweet baby girl Scarlett.
