28 Weeks and 3 days



We had our 28 week ultrasound today. The baby is sideways right now. It was really hard to see anything different then the last ultrasound. He/she was smashed in the placenta the whole time. The baby was shy so we only got one picture of the profile. The rest of the time we looked at the legs, back, and the stomach. We didn't see what "it" is again. The tech even said that this time she couldn't see what it was because his/her thighs were together. At one time, the left leg was up by its head.





After the ultrasound, I had to go to the lab to do my fasting glucose test. I had to drink some liquid that was supposed to be like Sprite. They took my blood once at the beginning. Then I waited for another blood test in the other arm. It was 11:30 before I left the hospital and still hadn't eaten. I haven't found out results yet, so cross your fingers I passed so I don't have to take it again.

Here is another belly picture at 28 weeks. I can't believe we are already in the third trimester!

28 Weeks and 2 days

I had my 28 week doctor appointment today. Everything was good with the baby. The heartbeat was 154 beats per minute. The baby is still breeched. Its head is near my belly button pushing out all the time. The kicks are just as powerful and painful most of the time. It is really bad at night. It seems like I can't get a good position without him/her kicking and pushing like crazy. Other than that, the baby seems to be doing well. I've been feeling really good. My back has started to hurt every once in awhile.

We have another ultrasound tomorrow. I also have my fasting glucose test for gestational diabetes tomorrow. So I can't eat anything after midnight tonight. It should be fun to see the baby again though hopefully with some more fat on the body. He/she should be around 2 lbs now.

Bryan and I registered at Baby's R Us on Halloween. He didn't realize how long it was going to take, so he opted out on going to the rest of them. I went to Champaign and registered at Target and Babyland in Savoy. It seems crazy that we are already doing this. Time is definitely flying by!

Here are the links to our registries if anyone wants to look at them.
