Every 2 Weeks!

I'm 28 weeks which means my doctor visits are every 2 weeks from now on! At this past visit I had the great pleasure of the glucose tolerance test. I went in without anything to eat (I don't want to pass so I don't have to do the 3 hour test), but I should have had something. Taking 50 grams of glucose in the morning on an empty stomach is NOT a good idea. On the good side, it wasn't near as bad as I had imagined, but I like diet Sunkist-which was the flavor I'm just not used to all the sugar. It was chilled so that made it easier & seemed to have some carbonation-I thought it would be dead flat. After waiting 45 out of the 60 minutes I thought I was going to pass out from all the sugar- I was a little shaky. After the hour, I had my blood drawn by an awesome woman who knows how to draw blood (unlike the phlebotomist I had earlier on in pregnancy).

After that test, I had to have a Rhogam shot-I'm A (Rh-) blood type so to make sure the baby wasn't going to be fought off by my immune system...I guess it's protocol. I remember all that stuff, slightly, from the genetics section of biology, but it's been too long to remember details. I just go with it.

Blood pressure was 120/60 (higher systolic than normal) up ~20 pounds and feeling it too. Nora was excited to see the doctor-she was kicking like a mad woman! Doctor confirmed an ultrasound at 32 weeks and that rounded out that visit.

Heres the belly progress at 28.5 weeks:

After these pictures, I should really invest in some self tanner! OR learn some photoshoping techniques to make me look like I have a little more color!

Of course, Jersey wanted a picture! There would hve been one with Jake too, but he has yet to keep his eyes open with the new camera-I told him he better work on that!
