Baby and life update

Well we went to The Maternal and Fetal Clinic at Maine Medical in Portland on Tuesday. The doctor said that so far everything looks good. I have to go back on February 10th. The baby was stubborn and would not turn so the Ultrasound Tech could not get all the views of the heart. That was the most important organ that they wanted to get views on. I asked about cleft pallette and hair lip as that is something that runs in my family, and he said that there were no signs of either in the ultrasound. Asked about Scoliosis as that runs in Jeremy's family, we were told that that is not a birth defect but a developmental defect, and to advise our pediatrician so they can watch for it as the baby grows. He also gave me somethings to watch for with my diabetes, in the 3rd trimester. I was also told that I should be able to have the baby in Rochester, unless the baby has to be born to prematurely that Frisbee Memorial would not be able to keep me and the baby safe. Oh and to finish this part of the blog we found out that we are having a boy.

On another note Jeremy and I are going to get married. We are just going to do a justice of the peace and later on celebrate with our family and friends back in Washington.
