We ended up having to go in a day early. Last night I was watching TV and he got really active and started moving a lot. Then he completely stopped, he still hadn't moved when I got up this morning and even after taking Jess to school, taking a shower and rubbing lotion on my belly (which usually makes him move) there was still no activity. I drank some OJ and waited about 20 minutes before calling the doctor. In addition to him not moving I've also been having Braxton Hicks contractions for the past few days and off and on in my back. I was concerned and the doctor wanted to check things out so she had me come in for a sonogram. I got to see him and he's cute as can be! He doesn't look like an alien anymore and has some meat on his bones! Most importantly though he's doing great! He passed his test in just a few minutes and my amniotic fluid levels were great. The doctor told me if I am having the contractions/Braxton Hicks to take a Tylenol and lay down and if they aren't gone in an hour then I need to give them a call. Other than that no worries! I am SO relieved everything went well and it was such peace of mind to be able to see the little guy! And here is a picture of the proud big sister! She was SO excited to see the new pictures of her little brother today!

OMG! Isn't that SO fun?? We LOVED seeing our little guy!! I KNOW what a relief it was to know he was doing okay....I had those same worries with Tyler!! Our doctor told us to count kicks one time a day and make sure he kicked 10 times in an hour....did they tell you that?
I'm glad he's doing well. That last picture is so cute! He's smiling at you!
awwwww cutie! Glad all is well.
