  Long Live the Queen!

I can retain my crown and continue to reign over the kingdom- it's a boy! We had the ultrasound on Friday and we were assured that he is healthy. Everything looks great so far! Now for the fun part- we watched him sleep on his belly, then saw him wake up and play with his hands and suck his thumb. I am just as awestruck the third time around as I was with the other two pregnancies. To think that he won't even be here for another 4+ months and he is already acting like a baby... truly amazing.

**This is his profile with his little hand over his eye. Cute!**

Now, due to pre-term labor issues with my other two babies, and some issues I have been having with this one recently, the specialist we saw on Friday recommended that I go on Light Bedrest. She wants me to be off of my feet for at least 2 hours during the day and for good, after dinner each night. I am hoping that by taking these precautions so early on, I won't need to go on Strict Bedrest later in the pregnancy, as I had to with Jeffrey (the 2nd child). That was so NOT fun! Unfortunately, this means that I won't be able to go on the bus trip with some of the SnB'ers to the MDS&W Festival. :-( I was really looking forward to going this year but I don't think it falls under the "Short Outing" category! I hope you all have a wonderful trip and will tell me all about it at the next SnB!
