Week 32

Good news came with week 32.  Ellie is weighing in at 4.7 pounds and looks great so far.  As you can see from the picture, she is getting some very cute cubby cheeks!  The nurse says that cheeks and noses can look magnified on the 4D scans however, this little one is growing great!  Blood pressure was 118/82 for me.  Ellie's heartbeat was at 171 but I drank a coke and we were messing with her for awhile.  She is already in a head down position.  We will go every two weeks to the doctor until week 36 then we start going every week. 

We got her changing table up last night and quilt rack...her room is starting to come together.  Can't believe in about 7/8 weeks we will get to meet our newest family member!  Thanks for all the continuous prayers!

Week 31

Ellie is getting stronger and bigger!  Ryan made an awesome sign for Ellie for week 31.  He took the picture this week.  As you can see his sign made the center of the picture :)

Yes, I know we are getting big :)
Big Brother Ry made this!

Week 30

Well week 30 gave us a scare because Alabama saw the worse tornado they have ever recorded.  With the boys out of town, I had wonderful neighbors/friends who took me in for the night.  I also had to take my own week 30 picture :)

Week 30 Growth and 4D

We had our 30 week growth scan today.  I am thrilled to report that Ellie is measuring in the 57 percentile.  She is 3.9 lbs and in my opinion absolutely beautiful!  We got a few pictures during our 4D scan but in two weeks we will get a few more.  Ellie was pretty close to the placenta so getting great shots was a little difficult.  She is most definately a girl :)  I am feeling so blessed and in love.  I can't help but stare at the photo of her.  Just amazing in everyway!

Week 28!

Well last week was stressful enough with Bella having to go to the emergency vet and I got food poisoning.  We are all on the mend now :)  This is our week 28 picture...what is left of my feet as to what I can see...It's like a magic trick how they disappear a little more each week.  We go for our 4D ultrasound on April 26th.  At that time they will measure Ellie and make sure she is growing like she is suppose to be.  We will make sure that 2 vessel umbilical cord isn't causing any problems.  Please keep the prayers coming!  Thanks!

Week 27!

Patrick and I trying to see who's belly is bigger...I think I may finally be winning :)  He likes to push his belly out to the max and see if he is bigger then my relaxed belly.

Week 26

Both Bella and I were pretty pumped about getting to week 26 so she gave me a high 5!

Went to doctor this week.  We have only one more four weeks in between appts then we start going every two weeks.  Doctor said that everything looks good so far.  We will do a growth ultrasound at 30 weeks and make sure she is growing like she should.  We will also do the 4D ultrasound then and see what our little bit looks like.  Doctor said that we would do one more ultrasound at 34 week to check growth.  Please keep praying for our little one and that she is growing exactly like she is suppose to be.

Lastly, here is a picture from this last weekend.  The picture makes me look bigger then I actually am, I think it is the shadow by my hand.  This was taken on Patrick and my date night :)
    
     Third trimester starts tomorrow!
