Update

Sorry, it has been so long since I posted an update on LBH.  I keep thinking about it, but life has been nutso lately.  School was really busy with end of the semester portfolios and grading.  We went to Omaha for a weekend to celebrate at Michael and Ali's wedding reception.  It was gorgeous and it was fun being somewhere with snow during December!  That hasn't happened in awhile.  Oh yeah, and it is almost Christmas!  We have been baking up a storm these last few days to make sure all of our usual cookies make an appearance at Christmas this year.

So, LBH is doing great!  I had a check up and ultrasound yesterday.  I was super nervous about finding out the sex, but Adam and I just didn't look at all, unless the tech. said we could.  Baby's heartbeat was 136.  The ultrasound tech baby weighs in at about 5 lbs. 4 oz. right now (give or take).  Baby's head is down, so hopefully it stays that way from here on out (literally).  The ultrasound tech. also said that the calcium deposit in the heart was not as noticeable so she thought it had dissolved.  My doctor said he would go over the entire report at my next apt. on Jan. 2nd, but if I didn't hear from him before that, not to worry.  They would only call if they found something bad on the ultrasound. 

Baby was also sucking on its' fingers during the ultrasound.  It was really cute.  We could see its' mouth moving.  I was right about its' position right now.  Its' butt is on my left side and its' feet are flat against my right side, which is why I feel a heel push out pretty often. 

We are getting pretty anxious to meet LBH and I can't believe how soon he/she will be here!  Now, we just need to finalize a boy name and make sure the room is ready. 

Here is a belly pic of Raechel and I last weekend at 34.5 weeks.



The timer went off... back to cookies!
