28 Weeks, Birthdays, and Surgery

28 Weeks Today



Also today we celebrated my niece and nephew's birthdays. Glory and Oak who are sister and brother both had birthday's today. Glory turned 3. Oak turned 1. On Wesley's side of the family, we now have a 1 yr old (Oak), a 2 yr old (Bella Peace), a 3 yr old (Glory), a 4 yr old (Mary Ruth), missing a 5 yr old, then a 6 yr old (Grace), and finally a 7 yr old (Luke). So 1,2,3,4,6,and 7. How cute is that!! All we need now it a 5 year old! I've got plenty of pictures from today's party, BUT they are on a card that is not compatible with the computer I'm using. Maybe I can get them up soon.

Finally, tomorrow Grace has surgery on her belly button. She's always had an outie belly button, and we just love it! BUT, her outie belly button is more than just a cute button. It's actually an umbilical hernia, so surgery is necessary. She's scheduled for 7 AM. It's suppose to be a quick and easy thing with an easy recovery. I'll post about it later, but if anyone happens to read this before I update, please pray that all goes well.

The Sugar Test

So, I failed the sugar test for the first time ever (the glucose tolerance test that they give you at about 28 weeks to test for gestational diabetes). Such-A-BUMMER!!! I know that most likely it doesn't mean anything. BUT, now I have to have the dreaded long test!! I know it is probably my own fault, because I have eaten way to many sweets lately. Ugh! I guess I will either have to find a sitter for my other kiddos or take them with me to hang out at the doctor's office for 4 long hours. Also, my dear sweet husband will surely put me on a low/no sweet diet regardless of the results of the long test just because he loves me like that. How sweet, right? :) Oh, well. I really have so much to be thankful for with this pregnancy. I know that I should not be complaining. The bright side is that maybe I will finish a book I've been working on while I wait at the doctor's office. Now that doesn't sound too bad at all!! Pray that all is well.

27 weeks 4 days

Truly "my cup runneth over" these days! Life is good. Here are some new pictures of our precious baby Elizabeth.

This is a 4D ultrasound picture from today. I think Elizabeth already looks just like her sister Mary Ruth!! I'm amazed that you can get a picture like this of a baby in the womb.


This is a standard ultrasound picture from today. Elizabeth's heartrate was 153 bpm at one point and I think it was 164 at another point. She is estimated to be about 2 lbs 7 ozs. She measured right on target for how far along I am. So far I've gained about 10 pounds.


This last picture is Elizabeth at 18 weeks. I LOVE that she is sucking her thumb in this picture!!


The rest of us are all doing great as well! More later.
