Pregnancy Update: Banana Baby

Pregnancy Update: Size of a Banana

• How far? 19 weeks, 1 days

• Belly Button? In
• Blood Pressure? 118/82
• Maternity Clothes? You bet!
• Baby’s Heart Rate? 152 bpm
• Movement? Yep! He’s a kicker (luckily for me, he’s still little enough that it’s painless)
• Cravings? Pineapple, milk, juice
• Aversions? Red Beans & Rice, Sausage, Bacon
• Symptoms? Some heartburn, acne, EXHAUSTION, hips getting a little achy, forgetfulness, bleeding gums

• Gender? Most definitely a boy!
• Name? Declen Miles Thomas
• Best Moment? Seeing Declen on the ultrasound today
• Doctor Report? Baby Declen is looking great! He’s measuring right on target and all parts are present and accounted for. His neural tube is closed and his spine looks great! He is head down and facing forward. My blood pressure it doing great! I was “diagnosed” (I have no idea if that’s the right word) with having a grade III Partial Placenta Praevia 
• Pictures?

• Video? Okay, so it's pretty obvious that this video was taken toward the end of ultrasound.... poor buddy had been punched/prodded/etc so now he's all over the place.... BUT it's fun to see him move around :)
