Another Week....Another Milestone...

Yesterday we had our 28 week appt. The Dr. had scheduled us for an ultrasound for growth and my glucose test to see if I had developed gestational diabetes. I was anxious for my appt, but an excited anxious. Now that I can feel her move so much, that helps.

My appt was at 1, and they got us in and out of there so fast! Usually they are behind schedule, but we were in the ultrasound room before 1... and out of there by 2:30! Dan wasn't even at the hospital yet when I got brought into the room. Once I got in, they gave me the gross sweet drink for the GD test... then Dan got there, and then our ultrasound began! This was the first time we had an ultrasound tech other than Jen-- she is the one we have gone to all along, she did our ultrasound with Elizabeth, knows our history, and it had been so nice having her for every u/s. I was assuming I would have someone different, but Jen was so concerned about me she made sure she talked to this ultrasound tech- Patty- about us and gave her some background on us. We are just so lucky to be at a place where they take such good care of us and are SO understanding. I love it.

So our ultrasoundw as great! Brynn was moving all over, and loves to put her hands in her mouth already. We even caught a smile!! Since I had an hour to wait for my blood to be drawn for the glucose test, she had some fun with the 3d ultrasound and we got some great pictures!!! She was awesome. I definitly think Brynn has my lips and my nose...she totally looks like a Murphy. It will be fun to see who she really looks more like, me or Dan, when she is born.

Dr. Mills was the Dr. we saw at our appt, and she is also the Dr.that delivered Elizabeth. It was good to see her again. She was so excited for us, and I am sure fun for her to see us with everything going so well.

I got the results of my test today, and I passed with flying colors!! I was so glad. However, getting all of these "normal" results and constant good news makes me worried that something is just going to come crashing down. I am flying to Miami tomorrow morning, and anyone that knows me knows I HATE flying. I am so nervous that something is going to happen. I am so close to having this baby girl, and afraid something is going to go terribly wrong. I hope this doesn't ruin my trip... that happened in San Diego...but at least I don't have to worry about earthquakes! I also am trying to think about the great food!! I am a homebody, and am going to miss Dan A LOT and hate flying without him, but Tania and I know how to have a good time!!

Let's see.... that is it for now. Hopefully I return healthy and in one piece... we get in Monday night, so expect and update next Tuesday or the usual Wednesday!

Enjoy the cold and snow flurries! I will be on the b each in 85 degree weather tomorrow :)
