Week 28 Update

Well everyone, we are officially in the third trimester! As of last week actually, but let's not pick nits...

We had an appointment today for our Week 28 check-up, and things are looking great! Of course, today was an hour-long appointment at which I had to drink that nasty, syrupy concoction and have my blood sugar tested after an hour. Routine pre-natal diabetes testing, but not so pleasant to be poked once again. They seriously draw so much blood during pregnancy, it sometimes seems like a miracle you don't pass out at every appointment!

Anyway, the baby is doing very well and growing right on track. His heartbeat today was 130, strong and steady. We're getting closer and closer to meeting each other, and it's so exciting!

Now it's time to sign up for a hospital tour and a childbirth class. Adam and I will also be looking for a First-Aid class of some sort to be on the safe side. That's one good thing about Adam being a lifeguard, and training lifeguards, for so many years...a lot of it will be a refresher course for him, and he can help me learn as well.

Anyhow, not much more to report for now, but hooray for boring check-ups! The boring-er, the better, right? :-)
