Attanaseo Family: 27 weeks

This morning I had my 27 week check-up at the OB office. I had the glucose test as well. Hopefully I passed that! It's not horrible to drink, just don't want to have to do it again anytime soon! :) They did an ultrasound to check on the placenta and the previa is gone. It moved up with the uterus, which is what they expected to happen. So that's good. Baby is still breach, but there's still lots of time to turn. I gained a few pounds, up to 152 now. Baby's heart rate was 148 and my blood pressure was 100/60. All perfectly normal. Then she measured my uterus, and I'm measuring 30 weeks!! The doctor's exact words were "Wow, you're HUGE!!" Guess that explains why I FEEL huge too! But, the past few weeks I've been feeling really dizzy almost to the point of passing out for hours at a time (it's really annoying because I almost can't function), it doesn't happen every day, but when it does it's very frustrating. So she wants me to come back in 2 weeks to check my heart and such just to make sure. I'm sure everything is fine, she's just being cautious! But, baby seems to be doing just fine. During the ultrasound she was sleeping (go figure, I swear this kid is kicking me all the time, except during the ultrasounds)!! The tech tried to get me some good pictures, but the baby's arm was up by her head, so they're not the best (and she couldn't get a good 3D shot because of her arm in the way), but that's ok! Loren liked seeing the baby again and really enjoys feeling the baby move, she calls it "her" baby or "our" baby!! It's cute!! And Kaylynn still has a baby in her tummy as well, but she says hers is a boy!!

Here are the ultrasound pictures from today as well as a "belly" picture Loren took of me this morning:

Here is a profile view, you can see her arm up by her head!
