26 Week Appointment!

Hello All:)

I just got back from my 26 week appointment!  It appears that my growth still continues to be amazing (and accelerated)....I'm measuring 30 weeks-so again 4 weeks ahead of schedule.  My midwife stated that we will do the Gestational Diabetes check in 2 weeks..if that is something that I have I will go for an ultrasound.  The ultrasound will verify the growth of the baby-I guess?...  If I don't have Gestational Diabetes then if I'm still measuring ahead by this much I might have another ultrasound just to see how big the baby really is....

I know this can be super normal, but I can't help be a little apprehensive about it all.  I've told myself that I need to work on releasing any fears/apprehensions to the Universe.  She is good and understanding, and ultimately has been a fine protector of me and Little Rock thus far. 

The baby's heartbeat is hanging out around 140---and he/she wasn't a fan of the Doppler instrument trying to cramp his/her space.  Or maybe it was he/she thought it was a soccer ball and he/she is working on his/her kicks!:)  Gender neutral language can be tough....

We head down to Texas tomorrow!  I'm super excited to see all of my family...I have to say I'm a little nervous about the long drive--being that we leave on Friday afternoon and come back on Monday afternoon.  But I plan to eat great food & hangout with the family--nothing too crazy!  I also hope that Russell can find some peace because he has been super busy and stressed, and HE really really needs a vacation.  So hopefully he can find that even for a few hours down in Tejas!

Alrighty--take care Family & Friends!  Love to all:)
-Megan & Lil Rock & family!
