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.
