12 weeks to go! 12 weeks AGO I was just starting to show and feel flutters in my belly. 12 weeks ago I didn't even know whether we were going to have a son or a daughter. 12 weeks ago went by quickly. The next 12 will surely go by like a blur.
I just had my 28 week appointment and I was in such a rush to get there that I melted down at my work because I was 20 minutes late leaving. Luckily my boss was supportive, or scared, and let me go right away...not before shedding a few tears. I rushed to the Drs office and called them on my way. I told the nurse my story and she makes a comment that my blood pressure will probably be spiked from it. I'm usually 90/60 and surprisingly went up to 112/60! That is high for me :).
I was left in the room for a while since I was late, which just left me with my thoughts. I was thinking...I haven't really felt her kick all day! Although I was very busy but usually her kicks are so hard that it'll interrupt me during the day. So of course my mind spirals out of control in the 5 minutes it takes for him to get into the office. My Dr gets in the room and I tell him that I haven't been paying attention and we did the normal doppler test. As soon as he put the little probe on my belly she kicked it right off! He's like, "whoa!!". He did it two more times and the same thing. He's like...um, I don't think you have anything to worry about, she's a kicker!
I passed my glucose test which I was way excited about. I have a hard enough time getting full with a large McDonald's combo meal. I couldn't imagine having to get full of a gestational diabetes diet. Sorry to you who have had to do that.
Now my website that compares my baby to random object says my daughter is the length of a fairground churro. Yum! Next week...a loaf a bread and weighing the same as a Macbook Air Laptop!
Current belly photo:
She's looking pretty cute! ;-) so is the outfit! Hope she isn't as skinny as a churro. hehe
ReplyDeleteA churro? That is so funny, I never heard that comparison! You're looking great and I'm glad everything is going so well! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat website are you looking at? I'd love to see things like churros instead of spaghetti squash! :)
