Let the good times roll...

Layla Blaine at 30w3d

Well, good news! Turns out all it took to up my AF was to drown myself in water & take it easy for a few days. At our first scan on Wednesday my fluid measured at 9cm which is on the "lower end of normal" and at our scan on Friday my AF was up to 15! Whew!

I was so relieved to know it was nothing more than needing to increase my water intake. I felt like I drank plenty of water throughout the day but apparently my body needed more. I invested in a fabulous 32oz. Bubba keg with these awesomely huge straws & I basically refill it alllllll day long. 

I bought mine at Target

I should also probably avoid those salt & vinegar chips I was loving last week!

I had cancelled our 3rd attempt at a 3D ultrasound because of my fluid & having to schedule a doctor's appointment..and looks like we didn't miss out on seeing her face. See her picture up there? Yeah..she has her foot on top of her nose. Apparently space is limited in there and she's folded up with her feet at her face. I'm looking forward to having a future yoga partner!

I'm also hoping she's not giving us a glimpse into her teenage future with that duck face she seems to be making. I like to think she was just blowing a kiss! I did ask the tech about those lips, she said that baby's nose & lips typically look bigger on an ultrasound than they actually are. 

So..all in all, we are in the clear! I'm looking forward to getting back to our trouble free pregnancy. My midwife said, "if this were my baby, I would be very very happy!"

Now for her daddy to get home...
