We ARE 7 months now! Finally! And today I had my 28 week check up. We started the morning on a great note. I got weighed...the un-fun part for most women, but the exciting part for me. Up until today I was still 3 lbs shy of my pre-pregnancy weight. I have officially gained back everything I lost in the first 16 weeks and have broke even. Everything from now on is going to be a positive gain for me and the baby. My blood pressure was perfect. This month was also the glucose testing so I had to have blood drawn and though I won't have the results til the end of the week, the Dr. said that she was not worried about Gestational Diabetes where Wes and I are concerned. THEN my Dr. came in and answered my two pages of questions, and proceeded to my favorite part of the whole meeting. We got to hear Wes's beautiful heartbeat. He came in right around 145 BPM and though it took her a while to find it, as he was moving like a crazy person, it was the prettiest sound I've ever heard. She saved the funniest part for last. She pulled out her special little tummy measuring tape. I'm supposed to measure in centimeters what I actually am in weeks. SO one would suppose that I should measure 28.3 or something along those lines. Wes came in right around 30 centimeters. He's actually about 2 weeks bigger than normal but my wonderful doc said that the only thing that means is that we might do the next ultrasound a little earlier than 36 weeks so that they can check his weight and height. She also said that at this point he is head down, which could change at any time. I attached 2 pictures that David took this evening so you can see the progress Wes is making. Please continue to pray for us as Wes and I continue stretch and grow, lose a little sleep here and there and deal with the aches and pains of late pregnancy. We'll take all the praying we can get. David and I hope and pray that you are blessed this coming holiday season and we look forward to sharing our sweet bundle of joy with you after the first of the year:) Thank you for being the people that we love that love us.
My tummy actually looks bigger in person...believe it or not..
Drawstring pants probably won't last for too long..
My belly kind of blends in with the closet but if you look really close you can tell it's huge. I love it:)
