my baby: the acrobat

2008 May 26

The ultrasound was really good…baby was moving like crazy and they had a hard time getting all the measurements. Good news is that baby’s heart rate is 160 (I’m guessing from all the activity).

They figured out that my cramps are actually Braxton Hicks… so I am to sit down and take ‘er easy when I get them.

So I know you’ve been waiting all day for this (har har) … here is my baby! (had he/she decided to stay still for half a nano-second it would have been clearer… !)

    Hurrah for Baby! That pic is Awesome!

    About the Brax.hix. thing.. I wondered the same thing about the cramps too. I had another cramp last night that took my breath away. Although my doctor just dismissed these cramps as ‘growing pains’.

    When is your next U/S? Mine is July 2nd.

    Well the u/s tech said “If you were going to do a marathon, you wouldn’t start training 4 days before… you’d probably start a year before…. and your uterus is about to do a marathon…” So yeah… you could be having braxton hicks!

    I don’t have a date for my next u/s… but I see my doc on June 6th.

    I never had any BH contractions with my daughter, and so far I haven’t had any this time. I’m not sure I’d know what they were if I were to have one.

    We had the same problem with the little one’s acrobats. Have you felt any flutters yet?

    I think you’re having a girl (high heart rate + morning sickness + craving (sweet) juice early in your pregnancy.

    Kriss – I have felt movement… but I don’t want to get too excited … because knowing me it’s just gas ;) But there are times when I’m *sure* it’s baby moving. As for the high heart rate… it was 120 at the doctor’s office only 3 days before…
