28week Appointment

This Wednesday I had my 28 week appointment. It’s hard to believe that I’ve entered the 3rd trimester! This appointment was “fun-filled”.  I went directly to the lab and was given the wonderful orange glucose drink to swig down. The lab lady told me 10 times to make sure to drink it all within 5 minutes. “Don’t forget, FIVE MINUTES!” Ok, ok, I think I get it. ;)

My second stop was with the ultrasound tech. Mark and I enjoyed watching the screen as she did a very thorough job of measuring Baby Boy. She even did a quick “recheck” to assure us that we are indeed having a boy. lol  He is measuring perfectly. Some measurements were exact at 28w2d, overall his average measurements showed him at 27w5d and  2lb 7oz. Perfect! The tech also checked the placement of the placenta and it is still lower than what the doctor would like. She is calling it moderate previa and we’ll have another ultrasound in 4 weeks to check it again. Hey, another chance to see Baby Boy!

His profile picture. Look at those lips!

His cute face. He has full cheeks and lips already.

You’ll have to study this one a minute, but  you can see his legs crossed near his ankles and the bottom of his feet. He’s just chillin’.

After the ultrasound I headed back to the lab for the glucose test blood draw. My final stop was with the doctor where I had my belly measured and she told me everything seems great. Woot! And for anyone wondering, I gained the perfect 1lb a week between these last two visits.

Now we start the every two week appointments. It seems unreal we are this far along! Next week we begin the three week birth classes.

I really NEED to get started on his nursery. Poor little guy is already going to have baby #2 complex. ;)
