26 weeks

What a great day today has been! To start off, I had a very stressful day yesterday because Baby B had not been his usual active self for the past two days.... I called my Doctor who advised me to drink a FULL coke, lay down in my office and take it easy for thirty minutes....if still no movement.....come in for a heartbeat check. Those thirty minutes felt like a lifetime. Needless to say, Blakely didn't budge, so I drove across town to get everything checked out. Thank goodness my mom went with me, because I was a nervous wreck. As I was waiting for Mom to meet me, my step-dad stopped to pray with me and I literally lost it. I knew God was in control of the situation, but I was still so scared. When we got to the Doctor, the heartbeat was as steady and as strong as ever. I could do nothing but THANK GOD. I already had my monthly appointment for the next morning scheduled, so Dr. W, said that we would do an ultrasound just to make sure he was measuring correctly.....

Today's appointment:
Starting off by drinking the sugary drink for my glucose test. It reminded me of a flat sprite, but was sweet like an icee. Not a problem for me, because this girl LOVES AN ICEE! I chugged it like a champ and went to the sonogram room while I waited an hour for my test results ( Which I passed with FLYING COLORS). Although not nearly as active as my last ultrasound, Blakely is measuring perfectly. He yawned probably 10 times!! Heart rate at 136 and weighing in a 1lb, 16 ozs, almost 2 lbs! I loved getting to see my little man again and look forward to my next chance when Jason and I go for my 30 week, 4D screening on May 3rd. I got a quick glimpse today of what the 4d will be like :) Blakely had his hands over his face most of the time, so we knew that today would not be the best day for the special ultrasound... However.... I do love this picture .........

Who do you think he looks like??? 

Check out this good lookin' baldy who was the Vaughn Baby in Selma in 1986... Maybe modeling is in our Blakely's future?? lol I know my mom put me in any newspaper ad, magazine or fashion show that she could get me in when I was little. Local celebrity for sure...... and Yes, I will autograph any of my early work :)
