20 Week Appt Went Great!

Well, yesterday we had our 20 week "big" appointment, and everything looks great! It is confirmed that we are having a GIRL!!!! She looked good and healthy, with all organs working and in their proper place! We actually were able to see her swallowing too! Right now she weighs about 12oz, and is in the 63% for femur length and head size! Hopefully she is going to get some of her daddy's height!


She was in the breech position, which is totally normal at this stage, and her bottom was pushed as far down as she could possibly go! It was amazing to see how flexible and active she is! I have been able to feel her moving for about 2 weeks now, but the feelings are definetly getting stronger! It is only a matter of time before Jeff can feel her too!


I am doing well also. Blood sugars are under control with the diet, so no mention of insulin yet! And, I am still down 1 lb from my pre-pregnancy weight! The doctor said that is totally normal for gestational diabetes mothers, and that I might gain very little weight overall.


So, that is the update. Our little girl, Brighton Jane, is doing great!!!
