Right on track...

"Right on track" and "Looks good" were the great words we heard from the ultrasound tech. today! The Dr was worried about preterm labor given my Mother's history with it-but we were reassured today that everything looks fine! My cervix isn't shortening and Evan is developing normally! Good news! She also said he weighs about 3 pounds now and my due date has moved to March 17th-St. Patty's Day! We were very relieved to hear the news today and so happy to see our little man one more time! :)

Baby Evan
28 weeks
These ultrasound photos were a Christmas gift from my Mom! Thanks Mom! We went to a special 4D ultrasound place in Moore, OK to "meet" Evan. It is truly amazing to see his little face! We think he has my nose and Billy's chubby baby cheeks! He is so precious and we can't wait to meet him!

We're in the third trimester now...and more anxious than ever to meet Evan! As I sit here and type it is currently about 3:30 am and I have been awake for over an hour with heartburn. YUCK!!! I never knew heartburn until I was pregnant...holy moly! I guess making a bean burrito before bed last night was a bad idea! Evan loves beans!!!
Although we can't wait to meet Evan-there is still so much to do! He needs to grow! At the last Dr's appointment we discussed my family history of premature birth-this raised a red flag for us. I was born at 32 weeks and my sister at 34. As a newborn, I stayed in the NICU for 3 1/2 weeks due to my underdeveloped lungs-so as a precautionary measure Dr. Fletcher gave me two steroid injections to promote lung development. She also ordered another ultrasound to check to make sure I haven't started dilating yet. I have had some Braxton-Hicks Contractions and pressure-so we shall see.
I am on Christmas Break from school and it couldn't have come at a better time. I am sure ready to rest! Next week is my baby shower and I am so excited! ;) It will be at Nissa's house and she's making me a giant burrito-GOD BLESS HER! Have the Rolaids ready!!! YUMMY!!! :)
