Because of Travis’s schedule he got to come with me and listen to the heartbeat. This was the first time he got to do so since the ultrasound and it put a big smile on his face!
My doctor’s appointment went well with my blood pressure being 108/62 and weight gain still o.k. The baby is doing great and my measurement is right where it should be. The baby’s heartbeat was 140 bpm.
I had my gestational diabetes test this week and unfortunately I learned on Friday that I failed. That means that I have to go in on Tuesday for a 3 hour glucose test to see if I really have gestational diabetes or if it was something I had eaten that morning. For the 3 hour test I have to fast from midnight until my test at 8:30 a.m. and I’ll have to stay there for 3 hours while they test my blood.
Despite my friends saying I don’t look 28+ weeks pregnant, I feel big and pregnant. I know, I know, I have a long ways to go but it’s catching up with me. You can see a picture of what I’m looking like now.
By this week the baby weighs approximately 2 ¾ pounds and the total length is around 16 inches. We learned this week that boys tend to weigh more at birth than girls do and the average weight for a baby is between 7 and 7 ½ lbs.
