Gage update...

I had an ultrasound today to check on a few things that were problems with Braeden's pregnancy. With Braeden I had a short cervix at 33 weeks and was put on bed rest. I also had some problems with my placenta that were found after I delivered Braeden. So today was the day to check those things out AND take a peek at our little guy. I'm happy to report that everything is great! No clots in the placenta and an average length cervix...woo-hoo!! He is also measuring 4lbs 14oz (almost 5lbs), which can be off by a lb or 2 either way. With Braeden at this ultrasound, he weighed right around 4 lbs and 5 weeks later when he was born weighed 8lbs. So if Gage were to follow a similar pattern, then we're talking a 9-10lb baby at full term-no thanks :) Fortunately/unfortunately he is breech right now. This was not what I wanted to hear or see, but I'll take that, and have a healthy baby and prgnancy in return. Plus, I'm not so sure I can (read: want to) push out a baby that big, so we'll see. It's in God's hands...breech babies are that way for a reason, and maybe it is His way of keeping all of the crazy stuff that happened last time from happening again. My doctor will be monitoring Gage's position at every appointment from here out with an ultrasound, so at least I will get to see my little guy a lot :)

It was really fun getting to see Gage, and Braeden liked seeing his little brother. It will be interesting to see what he really looks like, but based on the ultrasound pics, he looks like a mini Braeden. Guess we'll just have to wait. We're so ready for this little guy to be here...6 weeks or less and we'll get to meet him! Below are some pics...
