30 week ultrasound

We have officially made it 4 weeks past when Jack was born and still going strong.  I did have a blood pressure spike on Monday morning, went up to the 140s/90s, called my OB, went in to see him, and it was thankfully back down to normal by the time I saw him.  He said it was likely a spike and there is no specific reason as to why it did that but the important thing is that it went back down and I'm not having any other signs of preecclampsia right now.  I'm still keeping a close eye on everything and likely will be seeing the OB more frequently now.  I'm not going to complain, if it keeps me pregnant for another 7-8 weeks then that's great!

We were lucky enough to have another ultrasound completed yesterday due to my history of preecclampsia and because Jack was small for his gestational age when he was born.  Everything looks perfect with the baby!  He's still a boy and he's a big boy right now!!  He's measuring about a week big, at 31weeks 2 days, weighing in at around 3lb 13oz at this point.  We were very happy to know things are growing as appropriately and there are no concerns regarding small size!!  Here are a couple of pictures from the ultrasound, he looks like he has some chubby little cheeks already!! 



Unfortunately they aren't the best pictures, since I took a picture of the picture they gave us.  We got a nice profile shot, then you can see his chubby cheeks, and lastly, he was grabbing his toes!
