So we just found out that we saw our maternal-fetal medicine specialist for the last time today. We like him. He sewed me up many moons ago, and gave me ultrasounds every week for a very long time and of course, he smells nice. And then after today’s 32 week ultrasound, he stuck out his [...]

We had our 1 week follow-up appointment with our Maternal-Fetal surgeon this morning. The doctor jokingly asked Abby while doing the transvaginal ultrasound, “Anyone ever tell you you have a nice cervix?” To which Abby responded, “Oh yeah, I get that all the time. Just this morning on the bus, even.” He blushed. Abby [...]

…Beautiful 9 ounce baby! A real live baby! Today was our 18 week ultrasound and we got our first glimpse of our cute little Sprout. Seeing is believing. Now we know that it wasn’t just a case of too much drunken noodle! Our little Sprout is actually not so little – relatively speaking, of course. [...]
