  • Hit 3rd Trimester Today!

    I hit 28 weeks today and had my 7th ultrasound.  Good news is that the baby looks healthy and normal, the echogenic bowel from 2nd trimester is gone.  Keira is slightly taller/bigger for her age, around 62 percentile but that is not necessarily from the diabetes, it could be Evance’s genes since Kevan was also tall when he was born.  She’s actually neck and neck with Kevan at 2.5 pounds so at a half pound/week, she would also be about 6 pounds if she came at 35 weeks as he did.

    Bad news is that Keira has already “dropped” and I knew it since I felt it happen a week ago.  I had to do the intravaginal ultrasound after the regular one to check my cervix.  They said if it had changed or was shorter than before, they were going to admit me into the hospital TODAY—EEK!  Luckily, my cervix is the same so they sent me home for bedrest.  Now I just have to hope Keira stays in another 9 weeks to make full term.

    Good thing we ordered the carseat today which is backordered 2-4 weeks.  Most of the 0-3 mos clothes have been bought from the Janie and Jack sale this week since I'm not having a baby shower.  Just a few more details and we'll be ready!

    It's great you're closing in on the home stretch.  Keira is such a lovely name!  Love how you guys came up with it.  Let's hope she stays in Mommy's tummy until it's time.  Do continue to take care.  How is your diabetes?

    Keira? that's such a nice name. Makes someone feel that its a beautiful woman, which I'm sure your baby is going to be.

    What do you mean that Keira "dropped" ? Does that mean she is in position to come out?

    Hang upside down like a bat Angela.  Maybe Keira will get confused and go back in for a while.  While that may not be sound medical advice, I hope it made you laugh.  Hang in there (as if you have a choice!), and this was VERY good news today.  God bless.

    We came up with Kevan by taking the first two letters of our name and adding a "K in the front.  We came up with Keira because she has the first letter of all our names in her name.  :)
