The Adventures of the Braswell's: 27 weeks!

Third trimester baby!!! Whoo-hoo! I've got 13 weeks left and Amelia is right on track! According to thebump.com miss thing now weighs between 1.5 - 2.5 lb (is it just me, or is that a huge range?) and is somewhere between 13.6 - 14.8 inches long. And apparently she is the size of a cauliflower. Grow baby grow!

This past week held some super fun activities like an impromptu maternity photo shoot and our 3D ultrasound and some not so fun things like an emotional breakdown at the OB's after my glucose test.

First of all, it wasn't nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be. All I had to do was drink a syrupy sweet fruit punch drink and then get some blood drawn an hour later. Not bad at all.
However, I still don't know what my results are because apparently despite the fact that I asked no less than four times what I needed to do to sign in/let them know I was there (remember this is only my second visit to this doctor's office) I was told incorrectly. I would ask, So, I still need to see the doctor. Should I just wait in the waiting room? and the response all four times was a non chalant, Yep, just wait to be called. So I waited and waited and when it got to the point that I had been waiting for 45 minutes I asked again, (the 5th time) and this time I was scolded for 'not signing in'. I'm already emotional at this point because it was 11:45 and I had been there since 10:00 and I had to be out of the office at 12:30 to make our 3D ultrasound at 1:00. So, yeah when the lady gave me the stink eye and then continued to talk about me to the other ladies there like I wasn't standing right in front of her, I teared up. It was incredibly embarrassing, like being in middle school again where the cool girls inform you that perms are definitely out. Only this time my stomach is bulging with baby and hormones are raging... Yeah, not exactly my day. Call me hormonal, but I'm thinking of switching OB's.

20 minutes into the 30 minute ride to the ultrasound place I finally quit blubbering when my incredibly sweet husband stopped to console me with Bojangle's and Mountain Dew. Yum :)

The ultrasound was a complete turn of events. Thank the Lord. We got to see our sweet baby's face and it was magical and mind blowing and every kind of 'wow' expression you can think of. She was wiping her little eyes with her tiny hand and we could see her kicking and moving and twisting all over the place! (Thanks to that delicious glucose and my sinfully delicious mountain dew I sipped throughout). Of course I already think she's the most gorgeous little girl to ever be conceived... but I'm just a little biased. So, without further ado here is our sweet and precious little girl.

I text the picture to my Mom, who informed me she couldn't figure out what it was, so I drew a little diagram to help out. Miss Amelia is much less alien looking than even 7 weeks ago and we asked, she's stil a little girl. Another Whew, thank you Jesus because I did not even want to think about having to take back all those sassy little outfits!
