Happy Halloween!

We are entering week 32 already! Things seem to go really slow, then very quickly. She is about 16 inches in length and usually has her bottom up by my belly button. She does move around quite a bit still, but she seems to hang around on my right hand side. It is funny to rub her and get a response, sometimes it is a big movement. Anna weighs approximately 3.7 pounds. I will not say how much I weigh! She has full finger nails and toenails. The next few weeks will be spent gaining weight and getting a bit longer. We have a last ultrasound scheduled for 11/13, so maybe we will have a good guess at her size then.
As for John and I things are a bit busy. John is crazy at work with Christmas tests and fixes. Lots of meetings and running around. He went on a market tour the other day with people from Walgreen's and his new boss' boss' boss and besides sharing all his knowledge of cards he was able to dazzle them with some great barbecue suggestions. Lots of leaf raking and still oak leaves to fall. When we are outside we get hit with acorns, and those hurt! The dogs love the fall and have been having fun hanging out with the Tripplett kids next door. Kodak even managed to catch a leaf on his nose. He is slowing down and we are keeping an eye on him. Have a good week.

Meet Anna

If you had not heard bebe's name is Anna. Anna has been a long time favorite of ours.
Week 28 came and went. We were recovering from our trip back East and John was very busy with work. I am finally feeling a bit better, but it is getting hard to move up and down at work. I shall have to see how much longer I can keep getting up and down. I may have to see if there is something else I can do.
This past week we went for our second ultrasound. Anna is growing well. She is in the 64th growth percentile, very active and everything still looks good. My placenta, the reason for the appointment, is still off by 0.12 cm, so we may have a third ultrasound. We need to talk to our new clinic about it. We are now in our 29th week, so we are officially in the third trimester. Anna weighs between 2.5-3 pounds and is about 15 inches long. She is becoming more and more active, moving around quite a bit. At the ultrasound she had her head down next to my right pelvic bone. She also had her feet up next to her head making it hard to get a good view. Our technician Caroline was determined to get a look at her face for us and even turned the machine over to 3D view. We got some cute shots of Anna with her hands beside her head. We even saw her suckling! Quite the facial expressions already. According to different info I have read she will really start putting on weight now. That means more weight for me! But we have a healthy baby girl growing, so we will keep up eating as healthy as we can. I have my glucose test tomorrow and I hope all is well.
