Today was our 26w2d appointment. Everything went good. Bella weighs 1lb 15oz. I had my 1 hour gestational diabetes test, but don't have the results back yet. I'm praying I passed so I don't have to do the 3 hour test. I talked to her about the blood thinners. She said she was not planning on taking me off of the Lovenox. I told her I was concerned about not being able to have the epidural and she said that we would have to schedule an induction so that we could plan for me to be off of the Lovenox in time. So..this is probably going to be a May baby instead of June. Today was the first time that we did a 4d ultrasound that you could actually make out features on her. Here's a pic. It's a side profile, showing the left side of her face and her left arm going up above her head. You can also see her fingers from her right hand up near her left hand. I think she is going to have big pretty eyes like her Daddy. She had her lips puckered up so cute! Unfortunately the printer jammed while we were in there and she wasn't able to print it on the right paper, so it's not as clear...but here she is!
I go back in 3 weeks and then start seeing her every 2 weeks.
Next weekend I think we are going to try to head up to Austin to see my dad before I get too far along and don't feel like traveling.
My mom is coming over tomorrow to help me start on the nursery. The walls in there right now are a dark color so we have to white them out before we can start painting the nursery color, which I think is going to be a very pale yellow. Bella has continued to receive lots of goodies. My sister has bought her several outfits, my mom is always buying her clothes. She is going to be one well dressed girl! Also, they have started planning my shower, which is going to be on March 28th, can't wait!!
That's all for now. Hopefully I will have some nursery pics to post in the next couple of weeks. Hope everyone is doing good!
