First half of Oct 2013 - Lego exhibit and pumpkin patch

I can't believe Halloween is going to be next week! Seems like we just got here and moved into our house, but it's been 5 months since then. Time flies! 

Here are pics from Oct up until now. Hoping next week I can update with Halloween pics :)

Anatomy Scan for Baby #3

So after almost 23weeks pregnant, I finally had my anatomy scan. The first thing we told the ultrasound Tech was that we didn't want to know the gender, which she was very willing to accommodate for us (she didn't even write it down in the charts so that it won't accident slip by my OB at my appointments). The baby was very active during the whole thing, constantly kicking and moving around. She got great images of the heart and she said the heart looked very healthy, as did the blood flow from the cord. The baby had a heartbeat of 147 and weighs an estimated 1lb already. 

There is one small concern though. The baby's stomach is measuring about 6 days behind the rest of the body (such as head and hips area) making the baby's stomach only in the 8th percentile. Baby's need to be in at least the 10th percentile for them not to worry. I go back on Nov 14th for an updated ultrasound to be done to remeasure and see how things are progressing. If the stomach is growing, then the baby is probably just on the small side, but if it's not, then there might be something wrong such as the baby isn't getting what it needs from the placenta or it has IUGR. 

There is also another possibility that I am not as far along as I thought I am, since I never did get an dating ultrasound in the beginning (the ultrasound tech was baffled as to why they didn't schedule me one since my cycles are very irregular. I was told by my OB and registration nurse that they just go by my LMP either way). 

So keep fingers crossed that the baby starts growing properly, otherwise I will probably have to have ultrasounds every 2-4wks until they decide the baby isn't gaining anything from me and decide to induce before my due date. 

Here are pictures from the scan. Most are profile pictures since we couldn't get any "down below" haha.
