I am officially off bed rest! I got the OK today from the perinatologist. Everything looked great. He did see something in the amniotic sac, which he said could be a clot or baby debris (such as skin cells or vernix), but that it doesn’t pose a threat to the baby. He said it’s pretty hard to distinguish between a clot and what he calls “baby dust”, but he says it’s not a worry and it’s fine for me to go back to normal activities. So, it’s back to work for me tomorrow, but I’ll probably still take it easy. I won’t be mowing the lawn or cleaning the gutters, as Joe suggested today.
Smudgers looked great today. She weighed in at 7 ounces, which the doctor said was right on track for 17 weeks. We got a nice long look at her, and left with 3D pictures and a DVD of part of our ultrasound. It’s so cool to see what her little face looks like already, even though it looks like a little monkey face in one picture!
She’s so cute it’s not fair to other babies! 🙂



WHOOO HOOOO!!! I’m so happy for you!!! It’s a day to celebrate!! PS. She is beautiful;)
Great news and awesome pictures!
That is good news and the pics are sooooo good!
3D pics are so clear and really show how smudge is developing!
Congrats on being released! She looks so cute and tiny. It’s amazing that for only 7 oz. she is already a little lady 🙂
So glad! Those pics are amazing. So happy for you. So there really IS such a thing as baby dust! 🙂
I have been so busy…. It is good to hear about the baby! She is beautiful!
Hooray! Did you have a party? 😉 Smudge looks so cute. Glad you’re doing well. And do take it easy. You deserve it.
