Munchkin Photo Spread!

It's a beautiful day here in Freddy beach: 10C. A regular spring maritime heatwave!
The past two days have been eventful in Bray-by land.
Last night we found ourselves back visiting our pals in the ER because I was having fierce pains in my right-kidney area.
This has been a pregnancy of firsts thus far: car accident, Fifth disease outbreaks. Why not add kidney stones to the list?













The gut-wrenching pain seemed to come in waves and my obvious discomfort got me looked at in swift time. A shot of morphine allowed me to come to my senses. We were home by 1:30am, which is pretty good by ER standards.
This morning I went back for a renal ultrasound and no kidney stones were found. This doesn't mean there isn't/wasn't one. It just wasn't detected via ultrasound.

Later in the morning we went to our appointment with the specialist. We learned that our little girl is weighing in at 3lbs 15oz today. That puts her in the 65th percentile.
She's breech, facing my right side (my kidneys! hmmm....) with her ankles up around her shoulders. It's called the "frank breech" position and it's the exact way that I came into this world. However these days it is standard to do a c-section - so I'm really hoping that she flips around so we can go with a natural birth.

While the baby is developing completely normally, the doctor found that my amniotic fluid levels were at the low end of normal. So we're going to go back in two weeks to keep an eye on things. Selfishly I find that pretty exciting because it means we'll get to see this little elf again. The ultrasound pictures are from today. The top on is face-on. The skeletor shot, I like to call it. The second picture is a profile shot and you can see her little arm above her face. The third photo is also a profile shot and it is my favourite because you can really make out the details of her features. Those are quite the lips, eh? Angelina look out!
As gorgeous as it is today, you can see that our front steps are still completely snow covered. I hoping for a good ol' spring meltdown the next few days.
