Oh How I've Grown

20 weeks 28 weeks

I had my 28th week check up with my specialist. Everything seems to be going well. The baby is about 2 1/2 pounds. With my blood disorder, the babies tend to have a higher risk of heart problems. My specialist had a pediatric cardiologist come in and do an extensive ultra sound on our babies heart. Everything looked perfect! We are so blessed that our baby is growing and doing well. As for names we have not yet decided. If anyone has ideas we are definitely open for suggestions. The last couple of appointments are baby has not been very photogenic. He loves to put his hand right in front of his face. We have gotten a few good side views but that is about it. As for me I have had a few issues with some veins, but I am still taking my blood thinner injections twice a day and I am hanging in there.

You look great! Time is winding down so if things have been good this far, they will likely continue to go well....right? I'll keep my thoughts toward a boy's name. All the boy names we were thinking of were Samoan family names...don't think you want those!

So glad to hear that both you and the baby are doing well. You look great...for a minute there I thought I was looking at the same picture! :) If you don't have any names jumping out at you, see what ideas the kids have, you never know what they might come up with!
