Anatomy Scan

Wow....we had the "anatomy scan" last week. This is an intensified sonogram that lasts about 30-45 min and it's purpose is to see that all of the organs are developing properly. We could actually SEE the chambers of the heart, the complete spine, the umbilical cord, we even got a glimpse of the little toushie! It was pretty intense. And all of the organs are there and the baby seems to be developing just fine! We still need to pinch ourselves to remind us that I have a tiny human in my belly that is part of us and that it's going to come out soon and be part of our lives until the day we die. I often forget I'm pregnant....then I look in the mirror. ;)

My health is great. The only thing that's getting bad is my back pain. The bump is getting bigger but it has A LOT more of growing to do and I can't even imagine what kind of number it's gonna have on my back. I'm going to try to see a chiropractor....I'll let ya know how that works out for me.

Gabe's health is great but his body continues to fall apart. He's back at the hip surgeon's office today to see if it's time for a partial replacement (he just had his surgery last summer). He also has to go in for some Xrays to see why his joints hurt so badly...there may be some strange tumor (benign) on his spine that is affecting his mobility. So keep your fingers crossed and let's hope he can get straightened out! It's not fair to be so young and hurt so much.

Summer is officially over today! Had an amazing trip to CA for Son and Dom's wedding and are planning to do a few weekend excursions in addition to a trip to FL to see the Dorans this month. Gotta get all of this in before I pop!

*I can't get this picture to go the right way (and the original is saved right side up). Annoying.
