Perinatologist

We went to the perinatologist on Wednesday and got great news!! He said he is only seeing one echogenic foci now, and it is in the left side. He checked and measured everything and said everything looks right on schedule, Boston looks perfectly healthy and there is nothing to worry about. He also said for now he sees no reason for us to have any further ultrasounds to monitor the foci or for Boston to be evaluated by a specialist after birth. YAY!

Boston currently weighs just over 3 lbs and still has his legs stetched out and crossed at the ankles. You would think with the significantly less amount of space he has compared to then he would start to scrunch up a little, but apparently not. So far his stretched out feet haven't caused any pain or problems, but his little butt is permanantly shoved into my right rib. It is usually only mildly uncomfortable until he wiggles and catches my rib just right.

I decided 30 weeks is the morph from "completely enjoying pregnancy" to the beginings of physical discomfort. I can't bend over to pick anything up without an audible "oomph!", getting off the couch is harder and harder, I have to change my sitting position frequently to accomodate squirmy limbs and sore hips, and I am overall starting to feel very pregnant. Its crazy to think I only have 9 weeks left...it seems like a long time when I think about May but I know it is going to fly by.

How awesome to hear that everything is okay with the baby!! Yay for that! As for the last few months of pregnancy, I've determined that the closer you get the more ridiculously miserable you become. But this is just God's way of getting you to a point where you no longer fear the pending pain. You're willing to suffer ANYTHING to just be DONE being pregnant. :)
