32 & 33 Weeks

We are now 33.5 weeks pregnant! See below for pictures from 32 weeks and 33 weeks. I will have to do another belly shot next week to show how nice and round I'm getting. We had maternity photos taken on Monday and I can't wait to see how they turned out. We must have taken between 300-400 photos!

32 Weeks

33 Weeks

Another Ultrasound!

Today we had an ultrasound with the Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist to check the kidneys again. Our doctor called last Wednesday after the previous ultrasound and wanted us to go back to the specialist because things had gotten a little worse. However, today was good news that everything looked pretty good and we should just wait to see how he checks out after the delivery. Brendan will need to have some special tests about 3 days after he is born and then we will know more about the severity of his backed up kidneys. We will just hope and pray that his condition gets better once he is born. Below are the pictures they took today. Brendan is looking straight at us with his big chunky kissable cheeks.

Utrasound

Today was our next 4 week kidney check ultrasound. The fluid in his kidneys measured a little higher than last time. His kidneys are now bigger than last time so the increase in fluid isn't too alarming. We will recheck again in 4 weeks when I am 36 weeks pregnant. His amniotic fluid level was good, his heartbeat sounded great, etc. so he is doing well as far as we can see. He is a whopping 4.5 pounds! We are getting pretty excited to meet our bundle of joy! Below is a picture of Brendan from today looking at us head on. He's got some cute chubby cheeks!

3D Ultrasound

Here are our 3D photos of Brendan that we had taken today! We also have a 15 minute DVD with 2D & 3D clips. His hand was in front of his face most the time but you can still see his chubby cheeks and cute lips. They said he has some hair too but I could barely tell.

31 Weeks

Only 9 weeks left to go! Nathan and I are putting together our glider and changing table tonight. The dresser has a lot of parts so Nathan will be working on this project for a few hours.

I had a doctors appointment yesterday afternoon. Everything looks great again. Brendan's heartbeat sounded good and I am measuring at the right size for this week. I think he is doing well because he is moving a lot. We will have an ultrasound to check the kidneys again next Monday.

We have a fun ultrasound photo session scheduled for tomorrow. The place we are going to will take 3D and 4D video and photos. We will be able to bring home a DVD of Brendan set to music! We are very excited because we should be able to see the baby really well in 3D (the other ultrasounds we have had have been 2D flat images). I will post these photos this week!

30 Weeks

Today we are 30 weeks pregnant! I am starting to feel quite big now (even though I know I will probably get much bigger). I had incredible energy these last 10+ weeks and just in the last week I am slowing down a bit. It is definitely getting harder to normal activities (like bending over, getting out of bed, sleeping, etc). Here is a picture taken today at Michele's house (notice the pictures in the background).

29 Weeks

We are 29 weeks pregnant this week. I had a doctors appointment on Monday and everything looked good. Brendan's heartbeat sounded good, etc. I go back for another checkup in 2 weeks.
