Well I had another doctor's appointment today, and I got to drink some sugary stuff, sit there for an hour, and then they tested my blood sugar to test for gestational diabetes. Thankfully I passed! The lady before me has to go back for a 3 hour test, plus you have to fast before that one. I won't have to worry about it though... I also got measured today, and I measured 27 cm (that is from the top of the pubic bone to the top of the uterus). The doc said that is good, normally it is 1cm for each week, and I am almost 29 weeks, but I guess that is in the normal range... I also didn't gain any weight since my last visit, which is good because I gained 9 pounds last time!

Shawn and I finally signed up for a childbirth class too. It is a one day thing, next Saturday from 8:45-5pm. Hopefully it will be an enlightening experience for both of us and it'll help us know what to expect :) That's all for now I guess.

Ticker: Timeline of Due Date



I just noticed my other tickers weren't showing up anymore, so here is one you can see!

Ultrasound Pictures

Wow, it has been a while since I've posted on here! We had some issues with the computer and had to get it fixed so now I finally have the pictures from our ultrasound ready to go...

In this picture he has his legs crossed... He refused to show us he was a boy at first!

Here are the boy parts at last:

And here is one of him looking at you, with the circular white parts in the middle being his hands. It looks like he is laying on his side...

I'll try to get another picture of me on here pretty soon, too. I have gotten quite a bit bigger since the last one I posted :)

It's a...

BOY!!! We had our ultrasound and everything looked really good they said. No problems that they could see. We got to see the 4 chambers of the heart, the stomach, the bladder, the umbilical cord, and his um... you know... :)

Yep, it will be Elvin Bryce Lockett. We are calling him Bryce though. There is a lot of meaning behind his name for Shawn's side of the family. Elvin is his dad's middle name, Bryce was his Mamaw's maiden name, and E.B.L. are his grandfather's initials. Good thing I like the name Bryce! Anyway, after we found out we went to Target and registered for some bigger stuff finally! But right now we have 3 different strollers and a couple of carseats on there cause Shawn went crazy with the scanner... I have to go back and clean it up a little online so that people will actually know what we want! That's all for now...
