New Post!

Woo Hoo!

A new post about old topics...the 28 week appointment.

On June 25th I went in for the routine appointment and everything continues to look good.

Mommy was down a few pounds (good since they said I was up 14 the month before)
I passed my Gestational Diabetes Screening
Blood Pressure Excellent
Swelling continues to just be swelling
Belly Size Good
Baby Heartbeat Excellent

At this appointment I was told that I was to start doing kick counts. This is where you basically count baby kicks and need to get 10 in 2 hours. Well I am convinced we have the most chill baby ever, and I thought it would be a problem. After telling this to the Dr she checked the heartbeat and stared to smile because you could hear all these kicks that I am not feeling, so maybe she is not as chill as I thought.
The kicks that I am feeling have been much stronger. I keep thinking back to people telling me that kicks and baby movement feel like butterfly wings, fish tails, and popcorn popping. HMMM OKAY....how come nobody ever added but when you get farther along it feels like sharp jabs, punches, being rolled between a pasta machine and that at times these movements will stop you in your tracks. I guess there are lots of secrets of pregnancy that they let you discover on your own.
