Well, I forgot to take a week 29 picture so instead here is a picture of Scott painting the nursery. It was blue and we moved to yellow (notice his belly is flat). We had our 29 week appointment with Dr. Altman this week. When we arrived at the office we were told we would have to wait because Dr. Altman had a delivery! So I asked the nurse if we could review my chart while we waited and she said we could. After the things we've been through (2 stomach flu's, fluid around the heart and the missing vessel in the umbilical cord we wanted to see if there was anything else we were missing). We reviewed all the ultrasounds and got to read the notes written by the doctors. Unfortunately most of it looked like it was written in Japanese but it was really nice to see the word "NORMAL" in most instances.
When Dr. Altman arrived he went over the ultrasounds with us and answered our many many questions. He reassured us both that the baby has passed the major tests and that he delivers babies with 2 vessel umbilical cords all the time, so we shouldn't worry. We both feel a lot better but we still have a little bit of doubt. We'll also be seeing our little guy a bit more frequently to make sure his growth stays on track.
Other than that work is crazy for both of us and we're just trying to manage that, with house work, Scott's school work and entertaining the thought of becoming parents for the rest of our lives!
Oh - and we have some roommates. Scott's parents have moved in with us until their new house is ready! It's so nice to have some extra help and entertainment (as they are both hilarious and lots of fun to have around!)
