28 Weeks



Well we may be seeing this little boy before November 16th! Ames is about 2 weeks ahead of schedule, weighing in at a little over 3 lbs, the size of a large cabbage. My doctor was actually pretty certain that my glucose level would come back abnormal ( meaning I would have gestational diabetes) because of his size and the amount of fluid around him. But what do you know, they came back normal! We just a have a big boy in there! It was a huge relief that my levels were normal. I really didn't want to have to deal with all the baggage of gestational diabetes.
They also checked out his heart again and everything looks great! 
We are headed out to Utah in less than a week and I get more excited by the day! 

On Thursday, the talented Kandice Stewart took my maternity pictures. We found the perfect location, and even with the million mosquitoes eating us alive, it was so worth it! I can't wait to see all of them and I'm so excited to have her take newborn pictures once Ames arrives! 
Here's a sneak peek...


Kandice is amazing! Go check out more of her work here.


Before I end this little post, I just have to say that health insurance is SO frustrating!! We applied last year after I got pregnant and were approved, but after I miscarried, we had to basically apply again, but whoever put our reevaluation through didn't note that I was pregnant so I wasn't approved. Well we didn't realize this until my appointment yesterday and now it's been over 30 days since my coverage ended so I have to reapply for a third time! Holy moly I want to rip my hair out! 

Now that I've got that out of my system, here's a peek at our cute little Ames. He had his back to us almost the whole time, so this is the only peek we got at his face. Loving those cheeks!
