Dr. Appointment Update

Went to the doctor for my 28 week appointment and glucose test. The glucose drink tasted like a flat sprite which wasn't bad the first half, but towards the end of the drink I was choking it down. We listened to the heart beat and it sounded nice and regular at 150 beats per minute. My fundal height (which is a measurement from pubic bone to top of uterus in cm that correlates to weeks) what 29 cm. I knew he was measuring a week ahead in utero and was curious to see if that also played out in the fundal height. Naturally I asked if I am bigger than normal and if this baby was going to fit through my pelvis or not. The doctor wasn't worried, but I still am.

Earlier that morning I got together with some friends, one has an 8 month old and the other is almost done with her first trimester. It was fun to chat about pregnancy and listen to ideas the new mom had for us. I had such a great time. It got me thinking about starting a mommy group since I know a handful of other soon to be moms.

I am also debating on whether or not to work contract for the month of September (actually I don't know if I have a choice, they might just not schedule me anyway for that month, knowing I am a month away from my due date). If I work with them, that puts me over 40 hours a week and frankly I am tired. I don't even like to work three days at the hospital. I would rather rest at home and clean. Weird did I just say clean. It must be that nesting thing kicking in. I feel like there is so much to do and not enough time.

Baby B weighs about 2 1/2 pounds is almost 16 inches long! The brain is starting to form those characteristic grooves and indentations on the surface. He has eyebrows and eyelashes and is still packing on the fat. In one month he has doubled his weight! I finally felt hiccups for the first time and it was kind of weird, but cute. I feel so huge right now and can't imagine getting bigger, although I am well aware I have at least two more months to go. I looked at gliders with Mike and and his mom and I believe I found the one I like. I also changed up the travel system to a lighter weight one. The debate in my head was causing me to lose sleep, as if i was sleeping anyways. All and all everything is going as usual. Our classes are set up and I am glad Mike is going to all of them with me. He has been so involved in everything and I am so thankful for that.
