28 weeks - Glucose Test

We are back from Puerto Rico! We had such a great time. I can't believe we actually debated a babymoon. I recommend it to anyone. It was so nice to get away and have time to ourselves for a few days.

We had our OB appointment today. We are at 2 weeks OB appointments, now which means the end is VERY near! We got to hear the heartbeat. That sounds just NEVER gets old. I asked the OB about why I still felt kicks really low. I had a feeling she hadn't turned yet. The OB felt around and said she is pretty sure she laying across my belly! This could be because 1. She is just REALLY comfortable right now or 2. She is maneuvering herself around a fibroid I have on my right side., which may be getting bigger. The OB says it's not a problem now, but we will probably do an ultrasound to take a look and see what is going on. I am super excited that we may get to have a peek at her again at our next appointment. Crossing my fingers!!!

I had my 1 hour glucose test and passed! My number was 123. She said the cutoff is 135 so she said my number was really good. Whew! I must admit I was really worried. I have gained 35 lbs in 28 weeks! I knew a high weight gain with pregnancy puts you at a greater risk for Gestational Diabetes. But, there is no worrying about that! Thank goodness!

We will be starting work on the nursery and painting soon. I will post pictures soon!
