More Updates on Pregnancy Number 2

I had my latest appointment and ultrasound this week. Aside from the long wait at the doctor's office, things were pretty uneventful. Baby was measuring fine, blood pressure was okay, heart beat was normal. Apparently, I have a "history" of big babies so I need to go for a fourth ultrasound a few weeks before my due date to get a size estimate but other than that, nothing new.

The ultrasound was scheduled to check the location of the placenta. My earlier ultrasound had shown that the placenta was close to the cervix which would have caused issues for delivery. Well it was all good news. The ultrasound confirmed that this was no longer an issue and she gave us an approximation on the weight - looks like another big baby as he was already measuring in at 4 lbs.

Other than the obvious aches and pains associated with pregnancy, things are going well. This pregnancy is totally different than last though as it seems all of our preparations are centred around Simon versus the new baby. We have decorated his room, settled him in a new bed and come up with a new routine to get him used to his new room. Aside from moving Simon out of the nursery and washing a few clothes, we haven't done anything specific to prepare for the new arrival. Although we do have a list a mile long......
