An Unexpected Ultrasound

We are now approching week 31 of this pregnancy. At our last doctors appointment, our doctor felt that because my belly is not measuring quite big enough, that we should have an ultrasound. Dr. Zart assured us that there is nothing to be concerned about. This ultrasound was to check to make sure there was enough amniotic fluid and that the baby is growing as she should. Everything looked good, except that the babies abdomen is smaller than normal at this stage. So, we have to go back in 3 weeks for another ultrasound to measure the abdomen again. The doctor assured us, again, that there is nothing to be concerned about. So, we have a couple of new pictures of our little girls face. We thought we would post the pictures so you all can see too. ( I think she might have the Hohulin lips!)

Three Months To Go & Counting

Jill has started the last trimester. She is officially 28 weeks along. At our last doctors appointment, the doctor said everything is going well. Also at that appointment, Jill had to drink a yummy Orange cocktail and then wait an hour before getting blood drawn. The doctor is checking to make sure that Jill has not developed gestational diabetes. This is a common test done for all pregnant women. We will find out the results in about a week. Jill had heard many stories that the Orange Cocktail was gross...but she said it wasn't bad at all!

We know many of you are curious to see how the "growing belly" is looking at 28 weeks. So, we have taken another picture for you all to see. We decided not to update Anthony's "belly" photo, as his has not changed since the last time.

We also took a weekend Childbirth class this weekend. Wow, what a learning experience! I don't know if we are now more prepared or more scared then we were before. On a serious note, it was a great class to take and we are glad we took it.
