28 weeks

We went today to UConn for a follow up ultrasound (last time Bean had his arms crossed across his chest) to look at Bean's growth and his heart. Today he had one arm across his chest, but they were able to get all of the measurements they needed. The doctors said that everything looks great. He is weighing approx. 2lb 14oz which is pretty much on target for 28 weeks. His feet are still measuring large... good thing one of his grandfathers works for Converse haha!

We got a good look at his profile and we are in love. He looks so stinkin' cute! He also had hiccups for the first time during the ultrasound... it was such a neat feeling and it made the ultrasound tech laugh because she could feel them too.



We are still in contention about the name... but we have about 10 more weeks until go-time, so hopefully we will agree on something great!

(Almost) 26 Weeks!

My bump is growing rapidly! Shirts that I use to wear don't quite cover the bump anymore but I am enjoying showing now. People just seem to be nicer. They hold the door for me, let me get off of the elevator first, smile at me for no reason, and give up their parking spots.... technically the last one isn't because they can see the baby bump, but they must see my face glowing with pregnancy or something haha!

Eric and I put the crib together last weekend and I washed all of the bedding and Bean's room is starting to feel like a nursery! I also bought argyle vinyl wall decor from Uppercase Living that I can't wait to get in and put up!

Names have been the hot topic in the Milot household for the past few weeks. We have a list that we like but nothing is standing out to us. If you have any suggestions, we would LOVE to hear them, so comment away. We will be keeping the name a secret until Bean is born, so you will have to stay tuned.

I have also been told by my OB that if I do not go into labor by July 5th, I will be induced. With diabetic mamma's they like to induce about a week early so the baby doesn't get too big. I was told before that it would be July 11th, but I will take the 5th!!

I would also like to make a plea to my ankles... PLEASE STOP SWELLING... thank you!

Have a Happy Easter everyone!
