BabyBot2 Ultrasound

So Mike and I had an ultrasound this morning to check on everything with BabyBot2. And she is growing just fine! Since the pregnancies were close and I am RH negative, they said that can lead to the baby being growth restricted, but apparently that is not the case. Plus with the abnormal first trimester screen and my low fluid last pregnancy, they wanted to check on everything. And so far everything looks perfect. She is 5 lbs 13 oz which puts her at the 47th percentile. The doctor said it is very likely I will have an 8+ lb baby. I am about 1cm dilated and my cervix has started to thin but the baby is still pretty far up (hasn't dropped) and so I am not really progressing towards labor yet, which is good, since I still have 4 weeks left. :) The baby is in the head down position also. They said second pregnancies can progress faster. I have been having contractions for over a month now, but apparently they aren't doing much. I am definitely starting to feel the pregnancy lately. I get pretty tired in the evenings and I can get pretty sore as well.
We have just about 1 month left until we get to meet BabyBot2! :)

3rd Tooth!!

Jemma got her third tooth today!! It's the other center bottom tooth. It is pretty crooked, so we will have to see if it comes in straighter. :)

Halloween!! Flu Shot and Trick-or-Treating at Arundel Mills Mall

So last night was Halloween! I sent her to Becky's in her turtle costume yesterday which the kids loved! I had to pick her up and bring her to get a flu shot at the pediatrician. She is a very active baby and was all over the pediatricians office, even the receptionist told me that she is a very busy girl. I know!! She was such a good girl during the flu shot though! She sat nicely on my lap and got the shot, of course she cried but it didn't last long and she was back to her happy self!

Then I put her in the car and started driving to Old Ellicott City for Trick-or-Treating. The traffic getting there was horrible and people were parked past the flour factory, so I decided to turn around and go to Arundell Mills instead. I am glad I decided to do that! I got there about 5:30 and the event didn't start till 6pm. Jemma and I went to Bass Pro Shops where she got a free picture with the Snoopy Characters and some light up bracelets and a pin.

We then checked-in to the event and started trick-or-treating. I dressed her up as a pumpkin for this event since she already had an orange shirt on. Stores were giving out candy and stickers to kids. We went to a few stores and then Mike met up with us and we kept going. It was pretty slow going and stores started to run out of candy pretty quickly then the ones that still had candy had long lines. She did get a little stuffed pumpkin at Old Navy though. Jemma didn't want to be in her stroller anymore and also didn't want to be carried, so we let her run around. She was quite the menace! Mike was chasing her all around while I pushed the stroller! We didn't get much more trick-or-treating done after this. It was nice to walk around the mall and see all the kids in costume though. We got dinner in the food court before heading home.

We found out that Jemma likes Smarties and Popeyes chicken! :)
