Unremarkable

I finally read the ultrasound report from Monday. I can't really understand some of the jargon and shorthand, but "unremarkable" was part of it, and even though that sounds boring, it's a good thing for the baby's health and mine as well. Also, the placenta is anterior. I thought that would mean I would feel less movement. I seem to be feeling plenty of movement, especially since I hit the 20 week mark. It does perhaps explain the difficulty finding the baby's heartbeat 6 weeks ago. I do feel like I've come to some sort of uninteresting part of the pregnancy. This is also a good thing. I don't really feel anything like morning sickness anymore. My breasts are less painful, or maybe I've gotten used to the pain. My weight seems to be finally taking off. After a bit of a plateau, these last couple weeks have seen a significant change every few days when I step on the scale. I'm trying not to be alarmed by these numbers. They are a necessary part of the process. I really don't want to plateau. I want the baby to grow. Therefore, I must grow to accommodate her. We're working on names. DH doesn't really like the process. He'd rather not think about the fact that the baby is a girl. However, we both came home yesterday with lists of names. I tried to talk about them again tonight. Not interested. Oh well. It'll come in time.

 | Comment from rcorinne » Posted Mar. 7, 2015 10:28am Yes, it can be frustrating, but pregnancy can be a scary thing for men. They feel helpless because after the baby making, they can't do much of anything for their children until birth. My husband was really worried about our son and my health with my 1st pregnancy. Also, he couldn't imagine holding and taking care of such a tiny baby. (He's great with kids, but babies were terrifying). It's all about fear of the unknown. He grew up with a brother. He'll be a great daddy to our little girl. Right now he's going to be immature and take his time, but he'll get there. Thanks for all the support, stickybean. I appreciate you, as always! <3 |
 | Comment from stickybean1976 » Posted Mar. 7, 2015 12:48am Why on earth would he not want a daughter when you already have a son. I couldn't imagine having such lack of support when it comes to the babies sex. Not wanting to accept the fact it's a girl. Tell him to grow up support you and feel blessed and discuss names. How frustrating for you. |
