I'm sorry that I haven't written anything in a while. I have been a little preoccupied, as you might imagine, but I thought I would give you guys an update. I had another ultrasound about a week ago, which Theo (
@hippie-witha-gun) was unfortunately unable to come to. When we did the anatomy scan, the tech said she couldn't get a good look at the spine because of the position he was in, so they would probably want to check it at my next appointment. They did, but they also checked everything else again. Maverick's spine and everything else looks perfect. There are no signs of any kind of abnormalities, and he is growing right on track. He was having a lot of hiccups, which is a good thing. It tells us that his respiratory system, nervous system, and reflexes are developing well. I also had a blood glucose test to check for gestational diabetes. All clear. We have begun to be able to feel him kick externally, as well, as long as he is in the right position. He tends to have his feet down near my bladder, which can be fun at times...lol He is also starting to respond to music. When I'm laying down, I can play music on my phone, and he will start kicking. I am already so obsessed with him. Everything I do or think revolves around him. I'm starting to get really anxious and wanting to nest and gather stuff for my hospital bag. I'm only 25 weeks and 4 days, but I just have this feeling, maybe a fear, that he will come early. I can only hope our house is ready in time...
I'll try to come around here more often, but I make no promises. lol Life is kind of crazy right now.
