28 Weeks- Glucose Test

This week officially starts the beginning of my 3rd Trimester! Wow! 🙂

28weeks- 131lbs

28 weeks

I had my prenatal appt/ glucose test yesterday. The orange glucola was WARM & wasn’t the greatest tasting thing in the world. I also take tiny sips of anything that I drink so it took me a while to get this stuff down. I believe the nurse had to come back 2 times before I finally finished it! Then I was a really big baby about getting my blood drawn, but the nurse was great & I didnt feel a thing. Whew! Glad thats over. Nope. They called me today & I failed it. 🙁 By 1 point, so now I have to go take the 3 hour test. 🙁 I cried because I really dont want to have to do that all over again and get my blood drawn 3 more times instead of just this one. Also, I’m anemic. I know it’s super common and it wouldnt be so bad if I swallowed pills… but since I dont, I get to take liquid iron! Mmmm. On a good note, we measured right at 28 weeks & the little boy is doing great in there. I start going to the dr. every 2 weeks now. Also, I didnt realize how many braxton hicks I’ve been having. Silly me just thought it was the baby pushing his butt out, but I guess his butt cant be all across my belly. It does it a lot when I stand up or walk & sometimes it gets kinda painful. So I’m gonna try to drink more water too!! A new thing this week with the baby–> I feel his feet now!!! They push on my belly & I follow them around. It is so cute & I love it! I actually feel more body parts when he moves instead of just the bouncy/wavy movements of my belly. Oh and they discontinued my prenatal vitamins (again!) BUT these new ones taste better & they are FREE. My first ones were free, then they got discontinued… the 2nd ones tasted horrible & were $15. Hopefully they keep these around for a while!
