28 week appointment update...

Gary and I and wee one had our appointment on Tuesday, June 2nd. I had to take the glucose test along with the normal things... weight. blood pressure, fundal height, and heartbeat. Weight was good... only gained 2 lbs. in the last 4 weeks. Forgot to ask about my blood pressure... oops... but then again usually they tell you so I can write it down. Oh well... if there's a concern they'll tell me. My fundal height is measuring 31 1/2 cm which is a little bigger than they'd like so we may have to have an ultrasound toward the end. Not too worry. Start eating less carbs she says. LOL... Baby's hearbeat is at a healthy 144 bpm Yesterday afternoon I got a call from Annie, a midwife, to give me test results... drum roll... I failed! LOL... I have to go in for another glucose test and this time it takes 3 hours. :( Hopefully my first test was a false positive and everything will be ok. We'll find out more probably on Tuesday as I'm going in right away Monday morning... meaning 7:15am because that is when the lab opens and I have to fast 8 - 10 hours beforehand and I don't want to go without food for longer than I have to. If the results come back too high again that means I have gestational diabetes.... which means no midwives. :( very sad face if that happens... But again we'll know more next week. I also tested positive for group B strep so that just means I have to have an iv for antibiotics during labor and delivery so that I don't pass it on to the wee one. Other than that, my iron looked good. Not anemic!! One small victory. Baby and I are doing well. Relaxing a little after another night out camping. Field Botany is over tomorrow so things will lighten up a bunch and I'll have time to focus just on Religions 100, Intro to World Religions. We're also excited about Wednesday! We have a surprise for Gary and we think he's going to really like it. Updates to come later. :) Here's the most recent video of our little one's heartbeat. There's also a kick in there. :) Wee one doesn't like being pushed on. hee hee...
