28 Weeks

I went in for my 28 week appointment this morning. All is well. I was a little worried that all my ice cream cravings might have had a detrimental effect on my weight, but as the Dr. put it, my weight gain is "spot on." If I continue at this rate, I should be just shy of 30 lbs total (I gained 27 with Claire, so pretty much exactly the same.) My fundal height is also measuring exactly 28 cm, so baby's growing right on track. I also had my glucose screening today and will get the results in the next day or two (3 hours later and the baby is still bouncing off the walls with the sugar buzz!) As for how I'm feeling, things are pretty good. I definitely get tired pretty easily, and certain things are getting harder to do. I do have a lot more aches and pains than I did the first time around. This little baby is active. I thought Claire was active, but I have to say that this baby is even more active. This was the third appointment where the Dr. had trouble getting an accurate heart rate because the baby wouldn't sit still long enough! I'm feeling the punches and kicks all over my belly and they are often quite strong (as in, ouch that kind of hurts!) I'm heading into the most active couple of weeks, before the movements start to slow down as she runs out of room. It's crazy to think that I'm now in the third trimester, heading into the final stretch. It's going so crazy fast!
