We had our 27th week doctor's appointment today. Between 25 & 28 weeks, they run a test to check for gestational diabetes, which means that before my appointment today I had to chug a syrupy sugar-drink that they sent home with me after my last appointment. They drew blood (to see how my body is processing the sugar) and I should have the results in a few days.
Levi and I got to hear Lincoln's heartbeat, which is always breathtaking, and the doctor says my tummy measurements are right on (so, apparently huge is exactly where I'm supposed to be). She also assured us that the discomfort I've been feeling around my ribs is normal - due to my ribcage expanding to accommodate my lovely new "barrel shape", and the shooting electrical-shock-like pains that I feel periodically are simply nerves that are disgruntled by this new said shape of mine.
Otherwise, everything looks good! We'll start having appointments every 2 weeks now that we're in our third trimester. Crazy, huh? I can't believe how quickly the first two have gone by. Thanks for your continued prayers!
Still no luck finding the camera, but we'll take one with the phone soon so you can see how much Lincoln and I (and Levi) have grown.
Lots of love!

Yay for syrupy sugar drinks...they are my fav! i am glad all the quirky feelings are all normal. You are in good hands ;)By the way, we had some snow ourselves in H-town. So, maybe we'll get a chance to have a Weaver vs. Adams snowball fight over Christmas in Fort Worth. Love you!
