Here is a belly picture from 26 weeks–I am starting to get bigger

I had another appointment with Becky yesterday. I can’t believe I am 27 weeks. My weight was much better–I only gained 2 lbs this month. So I was 155 for a total of about 18 lbs–according to her scale I guess all the working out has paid off. I had my glucose tolerance test, which I am sure will be normal. She also did a CBC, and it came back that I am a bit anemic. She wants me to start taking iron, and said it will make me feel better and have more energy. That sounds great, especially since I already feel pretty good! I have one more appointment, and then I start going every 2 weeks. I can’t believe that I am already to that point. Wow. This baby is going to be here before I know it!

I also had another ultrasound today. Scott came with me, and it was another neat experience! We got some great profile shots where we really got to see the baby’s face. We could see the baby chewing. It was so cute! I was really relieved to find out that the placenta has moved up!! So, everything looks perfect. Our tech was really nice this time, and explained everything. I told her we didn’t want to know the sex, and she was great about telling me when she was going to look “down there” so that I could look away. I was happy that we didn’t find out if it is a boy or a girl. After the ultrasound I asked the tech if she had seen what it was, and she said that she thought that she did…..so I wonder what that means? I am thinking it could mean boy, because it would be easier to get a flash of a penis. But, who knows……

Everything else is going great. Emma has had swimming lessons for the past 2 weeks every day at 11:30. It has been fun, and she has been doing great. It is at a perfect time, no rush to get out of the house, and then after just lunch and naps. Scott has been home a lot, and it has been so nice!! We have all gotten to spend a lot of time together. Sunday we took the kids fishing in Midway. But, we didn’t catch any fish. I don’t think they liked it that much, but we tried
