28 week update

Baby Update!
We had our 28 week doctors appointment this last Tuesday. Had to drink my orange glucose drink (for gestational diabetes) and it wasn't as bad as what everyone said. It kinda fizzled and burned the back of my throat but it wasn't as bad as I expecting. After you drink the stuff you can't eat afterwards. So we made an early appointment and so John could be there and so I could eat. They drew my blood first and said the results would come back 24-48 hours later. We then had to wait back in the the waiting room for them to call us back to see the doctor. Again we saw a different doctor this time. We like to meet them all so then the day we do deliver we have at least met all the doctors. We do have favorites but I'm sure all of them will do a fine job. Here are some results from the appointment

MEASURING: 28-29 WEEKS
HEARTBEAT: 140 BPM anything that's 117-160 BPM is healthy
WEIGHT: Every time I go in I actually turn around on the scale. I never want to look at the numbers because I don't want to get obsessed with gaining weight and what the scale says. I decided this time to ask and I have only gained 24 lbs! WHAT!! I was shocked. People in my family tend to again a lot of weight when pregnant so 24 made my jaw drop. Doctor said that 20-30 is healthy so I should gain 1/2 lbs to 1 lbs a week from here on out. Even if I do gain 10 more and end of 34 at the end I'm totally OK with that. As long as the baby is healthy I'm happy.
CLASSES: Next month we start our pre-natal classes! I'm excited! Getting ready for the delivery makes it even more real. Every one's delivery is different and who know when the time comes all these things we learn from the class could go out the door but I'm excited that we are this far that we can take them! EEE!

 Oh also since the apt I got my results back about the gestational diabetes and all was normal! YAY!

There is a quick update for ya'll. Setting up the babies room this weekend. Will post when its all ready!

Love, Megan and Baby
