28 Weeks

I ventured out alone this morning for my 28 weeks visit to the doctor and the lovely red syrupy drink for my glucose screening. All was well with my appointment. Our little man's heartbeat was 146 beats per minute and the nurse actually got to see him kick me twice while reading his heartbeat.

In addition to having my glucose screening, this visit also marks the start of going in every 2 weeks (instead of 4) for check-ins and the checking for any swelling... I was slightly stunned when he used the hand sanitizer and then poked my ankles prior to measuring the bump. But apparently, it was because we are officially in our third trimester and not because he was concerned. I have not swelling (at the moment) and the basketball under my shirt is measuring right on track.

I won't know the results of my glucose screening until Monday, but I'm not anticipating any problems.
