I'm now 27 weeks along and getting bigger by the second it feels! We had another check-up with our midwife this past Monday. Things are progressing along as they should be and we couldn't be more excited to know that. My belly now measures 29.5 cm.....a little bigger than "normal" which leaves me to believe that this baby is going to be big and strong just like daddy.
Last Saturday I had a follow-up kidney/bladder ultrasound to recheck some kidney issues I was having. We did learn that my right kidney is even more enlarged that it was 6 weeks ago. My urologist has ordered another ultrasound in 8 weeks to get another look at it. During the ultrasound, Chris talked the technician into letting us watch the baby some and get some updated pictures. I don't think either one of us will ever be tired of watching our baby kick around! The pictures prove just how fast our baby is growing!! Baby definitely has daddy's turtle lip :)
This week I also failed my 1 hour glucose test and had to do the 3 hour fasting test. With as many times as I've been poked with needles already, I think my fear of them is finally fading. The good news is, I passed the 3 hour test and officially do not have gestational diabetes! Woo hoo!!!!
Today, the baby took it's first airplane trip! Chris and I boarded a plane this morning headed to Ohio to visit both families for Thanksgiving. We're excited to catch up and spend time with everyone. I'm also excited to show everyone my belly! I'll also get to meet the Miller side of the family for the first time.
Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!
