I'm so glad everything's fine...

So I experienced some bleeding and spotting yet again. For the 3rd time throughout this pregnancy. Not fun. Always nerve wracking wondering what in the world is going on in there and wondering if baby's ok.

Our doctor referred us to the hospital to have an ultrasound done as soon as possible. We scheduled it for this morning, and, fortunately, everything seems to be fine! I won't get the results of the ultrasound until I see my doctor next Monday, but at least we saw that everything was ok! We saw the baby's little heart beating away, and it was definitely moving all around! We were even able to see the images in 4D! Technology amazes me more and more every day.

I have included several of the pictures taken today. I am so relieved that our baby's growing and looks so healthy and it seems that everything is just fine. We haven't figured out what is causing the bleeding, but I'll try to find out on Monday when I see my doctor again.

We still have the 20 week ultrasound appointment scheduled for February 14th. However, we did get a peek at the baby's gender!!! Unofficially, it looks like baby's name will be Alyssa Monique Castillo! So... it's a girl! :) I say unofficially because it was really hard to take a peek the way the baby was positioned, but we will confirm on Feb 14th! Looks like Annjulia's wishes might be coming true! She's been hoping she'll get a baby sister...

Enjoy the pics! I know we did. What an amazing experience.
