28 Weeks

I am going to have to start getting used to posting more often because I now begin having appointments every 2 weeks until August, then I have them every week.

 Here is my belly picture to kick off the third trimester. I feel like I can watch it grow....

Some notes from my appointment today
~I had my Glucose screen today. I chose the lemon lime flavor and refrigerated it. When it came time to drink, it tasted like SUPER sweet flat sprite. I did not really have any side effects other than feeling a slight sugar rush. They drew my blood and will let me know later today what the results are. Update:I got the results back and my blood sugar as right in the middle, however the test showed that I have low iron. This does not really surprise me since I usually never pass that part when I try to donate blood. So I have to take iron supplements the rest of the pregnancy.
~I peed on a stick(which is done every appointment here on out). They never told me what it tests or what the results are so I am assuming it was fine.
~I got weighed. I have gained 15lbs so far. Although I feel like it is a lot more.
~The Dr came in and measured my belly. He said it looks perfect, not too big not too small.
~He used the Doppler to listen to the heart beat. He was laughing because every time he found her and would kind of poke her to listen she would roll away from where he was pressing. He said that is a very good sign that she reacts to things like that.
~He said that he wished every patient had a pregnancy like mine. Simple and uncomplicated. Such a blessing from God.
~I asked him if there was anything I should be asking or aware of and he said "Some people try and make pregnancy into a college course. People have been having babies for more than 2000 years. It does not need to be complicated" So there you have it.
~I also got my Tdap vaccine which includes pertussis (whooping cough) and am making Andrew get his as well.

Dani is VERY active. especially around 10:00am, 9:00pm and 11:00pm. I can see my belly twitching when she is flopping around and last night several people from community group were able to feel her moving around. I can usually tell where she is and if I press on her she will usually kick back or roll away. She also has a tendency to nestle right up under my ribs and cause some very uncomfortable back pain.
I also think she had the hiccups the other night.

I made this to hang on the wall above her crib. I covered the D and E in scrap book paper then glued on little embellishments made out of paper and beads and tulle. The M came white so I decided just to leave it as is. The frame I got for 3$ at a garage sale and painted it white.

On Sunday we had our community group over for dinner (all 20 of them) so Andrew and I had to rearrange our living room a little bit to get everyone seated around one table.

And of course being my mother's daughter, you can not just have a table with no pretty embellishments.
