Well yesterday me and the hubby went for my Repeat ultrasound because my doctor couldn't get a good visual of the babys heart the last time we were there. Good to announce everything looked fine on this ultrasound, thank God because I had been really stressing about it. I am also pleased to announce, it's still a GIRL

. After the ultrasound I am observing everything on that ultrasound and I notice her head looked a little big(Hubby side of the family) but I thought it looked to big around the forehead area and I started to kind of freak out in the lobby. So my hubby is telling me to calm down that she is fine that all babys have big heads and just to wait until we got called back to ask the doctor what he thought. So I hand the ultrasound to my doctor and point out my concern with her forehead and he goes her head is fine. So he is doing his assesment and he kind of lifts up my chin and I am thinking he is checking my thyroid and my Doctor goes that is your head

. I almost hit the floor because I was thinking it but I didn't want to take the blame for my childs big head

. I think I really feel in love with her more today because when the doctor was looking at the ultrasound he goes she is sucking her thumb and just the thought brought tears to my eyes because it made me realize how innocent she is in all of this and that I must do whatever I must do to protect her and keep her healthy.

Yes Sandi, I know DRINK MORE WATER...I am working on it

. Sandi Thank You for being so supportive. It means a lot because it has been a ruff road but I know it is all worth it.

Denise,
Sounds like she is growing fine and will be a healthy little girl. Congrats!! How long did everyone wait after their surgery before becoming pregnant? I was told at least 2 years. I am getting the itch............lol

Aww Denise - you are going to be such a terrific and loving mommy...no matter the size of her little head. Besides - babies' heads are like puppies paws - they sort of have to grow into 'em

Awww Denise, it sounds like she is doing great! She is lucky to have 2 such awesome and loving parents. She'll grow into her head.......she'll be pretty like her Mama.

Michelle I was told to wait 18-24 months out before I should try. Bad news is I still haven't been back to see my surgeon since finding out I was pregnant but my one is coming up and I will crawl in there and face the light this month. Pray for me. Michelle how long are you going to wait?

The funny thing is I see babies with nice size heads all the time and know that it isn't forever and that they grow into them but I guess because it is my baby I am overly worried about everything about her. I need to take it easy I am going to drive my self crazy. Please keep me in your prayers.

Congratulations Denise, I remember how exciting this time was for us. Your heart just bursts with joy thinking about your child. Wait until they place her on your chest when she's born. It is just the most amazing experience ever. I will never forget it. You are in for such a wonderful journey!

I think of that moment often. I am just hoping I can keep it together long enuff to make sure my husband doesn't faint and gets the chance to see his little mommie born. I am usually a very strong woman but I know this is one moment in my life that I am going to cry like a big baby. Hey aren't we all allowed that moment when are baby(s) are being born?

You get the right to water works as often as you want: first time they say "mommy", every time they get an award, sing a solo at a concert, bat in the winning run...It goes on and on...Love just does that.
