Week 28 and 29

John had another doctor's appointment! And so did I. haha... Obviously.

This appointment was pretty critical in my opinion. There was some concern of a low lying placenta, and I was really nervous to see if it had migrated. If it was too low, then I would have had serious complications with a vaginal birth, and the doctor would have opted for a cesarean. Um... No thanks please! Luckily I received good news! I've got a 4-5 cm distance when all I needed was a minimum of 2 cm. Whew! No more worries for me!

I really enjoyed having another ultrasound. He is so cute! I got some good profile shots, that I didn't get with his 20 week ultrasound. He has a cute little nose, and his lips/chin remind me of Jacob's profile. No surprise. He is a Perkins! His heart rate was 147 bpm, and he looked super healthy. He was actually napping during the ultrasound. He had both of his hands behind his head with his elbows by his face. He seems like a chill little guy.

My weight gain looks good so far. When I was weighed, the scale said 155, but the printout summary said I was 152. I wonder if they know their scale is off, and they compensate, or if the nurse had a blonde moment. haha...

For week 29, which will be this week, Daddy will be gone, and it will be me with the kiddos! I want to take them to the aquarium, and get outdoors! We have a family picnic this Saturday that I am really looking forward to! I want to attempt to make some gluten free/dairy free cinnamon rolls. And yes, I am going to use a starch-filled flour replacement and REAL sugar. Moderation right?

I don't have a scanner handy to post the ultrasound pictures. Bummer. So there will be one blog post filled with pictures!
