The Goode's Baby Adventure

We received a call from the doctor's office and we have to go in between 28 and 30 weeks for a growth ultrasound of our little girl. Apparently they have to keep a closer eye on her because of my diagnosis of chronic hypertension. Sometimes when you have high blood pressure your baby may not grow as well and the doctors just like to watch for any signs. So during our pregnancy we will get to see her a bit more often than usual, which is a plus. Hopefully my blood pressure isn't to the point where it will affect her growth.

We had our 24 week appointment yesterday and Little Miss Eva is doing great! Her heart rate was 147, all her anatomy looked great on ultrasound, and the quad screen came back negative. She is in the 51st percentile for size so the doctor said she is perfect, not too big and not too small. :) I measured in at 25 cm, which is one cm larger than expected at this point. ( I guess you are supposed to measure in centimeters what you are in weeks.) The doctor said its because I am carrying so high and the position Eva is in and that my weight and everything else is good so not to worry about it.

So life is good, breathing is sometimes difficult, but we are all healthy. Christmas is just around the corner and Shawn's Holiday party is in a few days!! I'm excited because we get to dress up and look pretty for a night. I even got a new dress for the occasion since somehow I seemed to have outgrown all of my others. :P  We hope that everyone is happy and healthy this holiday season!! Lots of love!
