27 weeks

side profile.... kinda hard to see
The head is on the right looking up,
(just in case you needed help figuring out what you are looking at)


giving us the thumbs up!
(how cute is that?)


3D pic of our little one's face.
Was difficult to get since the face was trying to hide in the uterine wall.
Just a little camera shy today.
So the right upper part of the face didn't turn out well.
I think our peanut has Ben's nose and lips.


So this is the start of the 3rd and final trimester! Yeah!!! The countdown is on. Less than 3 months/13 weeks to go. Getting a little anxious knowing there's not too much time left to prepare us as we are going to be starting our journey into parenthood. We just need to take some deep breaths and breathe. We had another ultrasound completed today to check the growth of our peanut. Good news...... our little one is in the 51st percentile for growth, right on track. Heart rate is 130. So of course Ben is deciding we are having a boy based on that info. I guess we will see if he is right soon enough. Our peanut is getting bigger at 2 lbs 5 ounces. It's just amazing how much detail an ultrasound can give us. I also had to complete a glucose test, which tests for gestational diabetes. Drinking the orange flavored drink wasn't bad, it was just getting my blood drawn I didn't like. I think nurses make the worst patients. I can't watch myself getting poked with a needle, but can poke other's without blinking.... yes I know it's weird. Anyways, the results should be back in a week or two. Ankles are getting more swollen by the end of the day. I am sure it doesn't help that salt tastes so good right now! Which I am pretty certain is contributing to my lovely weight gain. Just keeping my fingers crossed the weight will just fall off after the baby is born. Have another Dr.'s appointment in 3 weeks, so more updates then.
