30 Weeks

Let the countdown begin! I'm 30 weeks, with only 10 to go! I was so happy to return to my Japan doctor yesterday. He did an ultrasound and confirmed that the baby is growing right on track and healthy. He also confirmed that she is in fact A GIRL!!! After being told that it was a boy at 17 weeks, and then a girl only a couple weeks later, it is nice to finally have a definitive answer. Baby Girl Schreurs is weighing in at approximately 3.75lbs and as predicted my doctor is now above the Japanese average for size.

Here is the ultrasound video from my appointment yesterday! You'll see him measure the head, abdomen, and femur. He also points out the spine, heartbeat, and face. He did a 4D face shot at the end - and you can actually see her open and close her eyes and mouth!! Pretty incredible!!



I had a really rough flight back to Japan, so I'm glad to be "home" and getting settled again. My ankles swelled up about half way through the flight - to the point where they were hanging over my tennis shoes... it was disgusting. I had to keep my feet up almost the entire next day to get the swelling down. I also had a couple nosebleeds and a lot of back ache. I've never complained about the 13 hour flight before, but this was a rough one for me!

We are moving to our new apartment today, so hopefully after this weekend we'll be all settled and can start focusing on organizing and getting ready for BGS!
