Update on Dean

First of all, gotta say Happy 5 year anniversary to my sweet hubby, Chaz! Cannot believe it’s already been 5 years. What an exciting year we have ahead of us. I’m so honored to be your wife. You make me a better person each and every day. I love you!!




We’ve already spent a portion of our anniversary at the doctor’s office. We got to see our baby girl again! Best anniversary gift ever! She’s gotten so much bigger than our last sono…2 lbs 3ozs to be exact. You can tell she’s not much of a morning person because she wasn’t very active today. She was still sleeping. We should schedule sonograms from now on at 10pm…she’d really put on a show then. Here she is!

Still a girl! (We had her double-check for Chaz.) Ha!

Big foot in 3D


Arm over her head, which is exactly how my sonogram was when I was a baby


She would not move that stinkin' arm! We tried to get a shot of her face on 3D, but she wasn’t having any of it. Diva! I don’t blame her, though. She was tired! You can barely see her tiny face, covered by her arm.


A little video of her taking a gulp with her precious heart beating (148bpm). Love it!


And on to the news of the real reason for the visit. Sadly, nothing has changed in the movement placenta (ugghh that word again). I was a little shocked to be honest. I really thought she was going to say “all clear!” but when she said “we’ll be seeing you back soon”, my heart sank. I was of course, upset at first (hormones kicked in) but then when she reassured me Dean was perfectly fine, I felt better. I guess I’ll know more about what to expect when I see my actual doctor in a couple of weeks but all I can do is keep praying. We are so blessed to have a healthy baby girl. How truly lucky am I?

Thanks everyone for your kind words, thoughts, prayers, and support. We truly, truly can’t thank you enough!!!
