Moving Right Along - 27 weeks!

We had our 27 week Dr. visit yesterday and all is still going great! Our little girl's heartbeat was ticking right along and she was kicking right along as well. I don't think she really appreciates having things poking her from the outside. I had my glucose test yesterday and will know the results of that by the end of the week. The Dr. said that he didn't see any reason to think I would have a problem with gestational diabetes but it's a standard test that is done. They also did some other bloodwork and it turns out that I'm anemic. So, I have to add an iron pill to the regimen now. That could explain why I've been more tired, dizzy, pale and short of breath. So hopefully in a few weeks when the iron starts to kick in more I'll start to feel a little better. Other than that, things are going great!!! My next appointment is December 18th and we'll be having another ultrasound at that point!! We're very very excited to see what our little girl looks like now :)

27 Weeks!

The baby bump at 27 weeks!!

24 Weeks!!

Chris and I had another Dr's appointment on Friday the 31st and everything was great again!! The heartbeat was really strong and the Dr. said that things are looking great!! My next appointment is Nov 24th and that is when I have to do my blood sugar test. Not exactly looking forward to that one!! Oh well. So, here's a pic of the 24 week belly....it's definately getting out there. Our little girl is still quite the kicker and getting stronger at it everyday it seems.

We took the opportunity to get away for a little while this weekend as well. After shopping a while in Springfield on Friday we went and stayed in Branson this weekend. Saturday we went down to the Landing and discovered they were having a Christmas parade through the little strip there. So, we enjoyed that for a while and then headed off to Silver Dollar City for the rest of the afternoon. It was beautiful weather and we had a great time together!! It was just really nice to get away by ourselves for a few days.
