26 Week Ultrasound .

So today I'm 26 weeks , four weeks since I got my last ultrasound when they told us about the umbilical cord mishap . But great news , the doctor told us after looking at the ultrasound he's growing very healthily . He's measuring at 27 weeks , and 5 days , so he might be a big boy ! He's about 2.5 lbs so he's a little bigger than he should be , but I'm fine with that , as long as he's healthy ! We only got like 3 pictures of him this time , he was shy , hiding his face from us . Here's just one picture for you guys.. of his foot , it looks big !

25 weeks and 5 days .

We had a little bit of a scare with our last ultrasound , the tech told us that the baby's umbilical cord was not attached to the placenta but to the uterine wall so some of the nutrients that he should be getting were being blocked . But today , we went to the doctor and talked to her about it and I'm measuring 28 cm so he's obviously grown . She said that it's impossible for the umbilical cord to not be attached to the placenta , otherwise there would be no oxygen or blood flow . Meaning that , the umbilical cord is attached just on the side instead of on top (is how she described it). So , everything seems to be going great . I'm getting bigger by the minute , I can hardly believe how big I've gotten . I've done sort of a collage of belly pictures , starting from week 15 , such a difference ! I'll post it on wednesday when I'm exactly 26 weeks , as well as new ultrasound images !
