Update& 26 Week Ultrasound

Today we had our 26 week growth ultrasound. Since I have high blood pressure, the doctor has to frequently monitor the babies growth. We were pleased to report that our baby girl (yes, still very much a girl) is growing right on track. She is in the 60th percentile weighing 1lb 15oz. Our doctor is pleased and says that this is right where she needs to be. So far, everything looks healthy and my blood pressure is staying manageable. I have been feeling pretty good lately, and even asked the doctor if I could do some part time seasonal work. She said no way and told me that my job right now is to keep this baby as well as myself healthy, and take care of the precious baby girl that I have. So for now, my orders are to take it easy which I think I can handle. The doctor explained that an investment in your children is the best one you can make. I feel blessed to be able to see all Chloe's "firsts" each and every day. Chloe is quite ambitious and running around everywhere, but we have plenty of wonderful family members and an incredible Daddy to help us out. We are looking forward to spending time with family this quickly approaching holiday season!
