I had the cutest voice mail from my nephew wishing us a Happy New Year, and it was followed by my brother giving his regards to “Jill & Ben & Bun” with a chuckle. I liked that 🙂

This week we had our mid-way ultrasound. Here’s the cute little footprint. Actually, the 2 feet are there, kinda one over the other.

Here’s the other pic of the little head with a hand up. It was definitely a neat experience to see the baby moving around and all the little parts! We are waiting to find out the gender, so nothing was determined about that. The things of note are that there was an ecogenic focus in the heart. This is not a main concern, just something common in Downs, so takes our risk for that up by a half a percentage. The other thing is an unidentified mass in the abdomen. I will go into Brigham and Women’s hospital this Tuesday for a follow up. A level 2 ultrasound will look more closely at these issues. I have a peace about it though, really not too worried. More concerned about getting into Boston during rush hour! We’ve really felt God’s hand over us and the baby all this pregnancy and know that he goes before us with still.

Also, for any Mom readers out there. I have an anterior placenta, which isn’t a major issue, the placenta can form anywhere. But, I guess it is a little less common. Anyone else out there who had this? And, the baby is also in breech position, which isn’t a concern because I’m in 2nd trimester, but I’m still interested in hearing if other women had experience with this. How do you help your little baby move to a new position?
