28 Week Appointment Update

Had my 28 week appointment this morning with Dr. Hatcher.

I have to get routine blood work done and a glucose test.

Here's the stats from my appointment:

Blood Pressure: 90/60

Urine: All Good

Baby's Heartbeat: Found immediately - 130 bpm

Total Weight Gain: 5.5 lbs. this month - that's 15.5 total weight gain at 28 weeks

Measurements: I am still measuring ahead, at 28w4d along I am measuring 34 weeks...yikes!!

Baby boy is still breech and doing a jig on Mommy's bladder daily.

I have to see Dr. Hatcher in two weeks and the OB on July 12th. I am hoping she will schedule a date for my section at the first appointment.

Come on 5:00 to start the weekend. Evan is home with Nanny and Poppy Higdon today and he was very excited because he didn't have to go to daycare. Roast chicken, fresh greens and veggies for supper today...I can't wait. Then, we are going shopping.

In the Third Trimester!!

Whoo hoo...I am finally in the third trimester - time is getting short, it won't be long now and we'll have our new baby. Very exciting times ahead!!

I can't wait for Evan to meet his new baby brother.

I am 28 weeks along today.

Sweets, Sweets, Sweets!!!

I have been doing good so far this pregnancy - eating pretty good and not having too many cravings...until a couple of days ago.

My sweet tooth cravings have kicked into overdrive. I hope it passes soon because I will be as big as a house and I don't want to end up with Gestational Diabetes.

But, when the craving hits, I'm afraid nothing else will do.

Baby Stuff!!

We went baby shopping today and bought his car seat and some diapers, wipes, bibs, etc. We also picked out paint colours for the nursery. Here's some of what we have bought so far...

Safari Mobile

Safari Bedding - the colours don't come out very well in pictures,
it's Sage Green, Tan, and Soft Yellow

Random Stuff...

Rockin' new car seat

Bumbo Chair and Tray - Nanny and Poppy Higdon
contributed greatly to this purchase...THANKS SO MUCH!!

This is more like it...

Well, it finally feels like summer has arrived here...for today anyway.

You can't beat 24 C (humidex 30 C)...if only it was Saturday...oh well, you can't have it all.

Name Update...Sort of

Well, we are 90% sure of the first name for this little one - no one will know until I deliver...just like we did with Evan.

However, we are 0% sure of a second name...

On the bright side - we're halfway there.

Picking a name is so much harder the second time around.
