Week 26 - 3D Baby Bean

We get lots of extra attention with Baby Bean's umbilical cord defect.  I went in for another round of appts today.  OB first.  Heartrate was good and my belly was measuring large at 33cm.

The ultrasound was next.  By measurements she's about a week ahead.  They are estimating her weight at 2lbs 4 ozs.  With overall size at 70% percentile.  (Her head is leading the measurements at 87% percentile...poor me)!

So the geneticists was very pleased and feels that we're not going to have to worry about restricted growth due to the umbilical cord condition :-)

Although I found out that I need to start twice a week non-stress tests at 32 weeks.  That's a lot of appts!

The best part of the day was getting a sneak peek at Baby Bean.  She was unusually calm during the ultrasound so the tech was able to turn the 3D on and get some great pictures.  It makes such a difference for me.  I felt very blessed getting to see who was behind that wall of skin.  

I'm in love...for the third time :-)
