Last Wednesday we hit the 28 week mark, which is generally considered the safe zone. With good neonatal care a baby born at 28 weeks should do quite well. This is big news for us because we were told that I'm higher risk for preterm labour. The doctor said he is quite pleased with the way things are progressing.During our monthly prenatal visit, I had to do the glucose test for diabetes. I was actually looking forward to drinking that little bottle of orange glucose cause it looked like orange pop. . .yum! It wasn't too bad. Drawing three vials of blood was a bit of an episode because the student doctor was, well, a student. I almost passed out, so she let the doctor do it.
I put on another 7 pounds and continue to be shocked at the amount of weight I've gained (24 lbs in total). Baby seems to be doing well. Her movements are less jerky and more squirmy, which means she's filling up her little home quite nicely. Once and a while I can feel these really fast taps. . .it's hiccups!
I think this is the first picture we've taken of the two of us since I got pregnant! Dan and Kate plus 1.
