28w0d update (x-posted)
So I haven't posted any real updates lately. I still don't have my lap top, so I have been using this crappy computer and I have NOTHING to use to really fix up my belly pics like I was before, so I'm not posting as many as I was before either. Hopefully that will change soon?
Last Wednesday, May 9th - I went to my 27 week appointment. They'd given me my glucose test drink at the last appointment to take home with me so I could drink it before my test this appointment. So, I did it and I have to say...it wasn't as terrible as I expected but just as I started thinking "this is no problem" I sorta felt like I might gag, lol. But it really wasn't terrible. So, it pretty much went like this: urine sample, glucos blood test (taken for testing gestational diabetes and anemia), blood pressure checked, weight (GAINED 8 POUNDS IN A MONTH!!! AHHH!), measurement of my tummy, heard the baby's heartbeat (doing well "in the 160s"), and that was pretty much all of it...
This Monday, May 14th - I went back as scheduled for my rhogam shot. They actually gave it to me in my upper arm, unlike the time I had to get it following my miscarriage when it was on my hip/butt area. When I said "oh, not the hip this time" the nurse was like "no...oh why? We could do it there if that's better" and I was just like "NO NO NO that's fine!" lol. So the appointment was very quick and I got a new prescription for prenatals...CHEWABLE ONES! Yay! They are so much better! I found out my glucose test came back fine as did the test for anemia...so that's good news :) And now I am scheduled to go back at 30 weeks (which is only 3 weeks since my usual appointment rather than 4 weeks, so I guess this is when they're going to start getting closer together). It'll be 3 days after my fiance and I come back from New York where I'm going to visit my mom and my sister and having my baby shower! :)
_____21 weeks & 5 days _____________ 22 weeks & 4 days _____________ 23 weeks & 5 days________
_____24 weeks & 4 days_____________25 weeks & 6 days_____________26 weeks & 6days________
_____27 weeks & 6 days_____
So, everything is going well. I started feeling suddenly like the baby was moving less lately, but I've realized he just moved a bit as I've been feeling him more in my lower tummy than anything. And he's back to his strong kicking and making my tummy move around in waves like before. It must've just been his position. So everything is well. I'm starting to get more nervous about him coming so soon (12 weeks) but I'm also kinda impatient...it feels so long some days!
Physically, I'm pretty swollen. I can't wear my engagement ring anymore without it strangling my finger pretty much. I've been getting some Braxton Hicks and the heat has been feeling unbearable to me lately. Headaches come and go, heartburn and acid reflux are pretty constant battles, and my FEET! OH MY POOR FEET! Those are the worst...they feel sore and bruised almost all the time...some days worse than others. Today was the worst so far as I could barely walk on them! No "crazy" cravings recently. But I have been eating more than I was pre-pregnancy for sure! lol
Okay enough of my babbling...
