Final Hurdle!

What I would like to consider being the final hurdle to get over for this mommy occurred yesterday with flying colors! We had our mid-pregnancy ultrasound yesterday, which is when we found out there was something wrong with Angel and our last pregnancy. Needless to say the anxiety levels were through the roof! Including indigestion, lack of sleep, bad dreams, and high emotion levels (bitchy and crying!) Well all of the worry was for “nothing” (although it was far beyond my control!) because everything was perfect with B2K!! Her heartbeat was at 151 bpm. Her brain, eyes, heart, and facial features were all developed perfectly. She even gave us a little wave after she finally uncovered her face for the tech to take her picture. She is measuring a week ahead of what our due date was showing; she measured at 19w1d; 6 days ahead of the 8/21 due date given. Grandma said that she was certainly going to be her mother’s daughter, start causing havoc the day she is born because as most know, if she comes 6 days early, that will land at the same time as her mommy’s finals for her final class. So to say that it is cutting it close is an understatement but it is all worth it regardless of how it happens!
The high that we were on after our appointment was amazing and I haven’t thought of anything else to worry about (pregnancy wise) to replace all of the fear and trepidation that I have felt for the last 18 weeks. I am determined to enjoy the rest of the pregnancy, work on bonding with our little girl and taking as good of care of her as I possibly can. Her daddy is on high-heaven as well and I think it’s sinking in that “this is it” for him as well. We did a lot of work on the house last weekend and it was nice to have a productive weekend together and be able to get some things done to prepare but not really admit that we were preparing. While I am sure that only makes sense to me it is time to buckle down and actually admit and act on the preparation for B2K because in 21 ½ short weeks (or less!!) she is going to be here and we are going to have get ready for it…ready or not!!
So here is to letting the preparations begin! Getting ready for our little girl to join our family and continuing to be grateful to our little Angel that has watched over us and I know will continue to watch over us!
