Third trimester, here we come!

We've made it to week 28 and still going strong! Had my appointment this morning, and it was so exciting! Well, drinking the glucose-orange-slice-drink wasn't thrilling but it wasn't as bad as I expected. Passed the glucose test with flying colors, so that was a stress reliever. Next came the scales.... I've gained 14 lbs since the beginning of the pregnancy. I know that's not much but it sure seems like a TON! So far I've been fortunate and haven't gained anywhere except belly -- but it's a heavy belly to carry around all day! :) Still have ten or so weeks to go, so I guess I better get used to adding the weight on.

Everything's right on track so far, and besides being exhausted after busy busy days at work I'm feeling pretty good overall. So thankful for that! Braylin's a busy bee in my belly -- as I'm sitting here typing, I can watch my stomach move around with every move she makes. I love it and can't help but smile or laugh every time she starts her wiggling.

The most exciting part is that I'll start going to the doctor every two weeks now!!! Ahhh!!!! That makes it seem even closer to delivery time. I was so excited when he said that. Time has just flown by!

More good news.... going to have an ultrasound done tomorrow. Can hardly wait to see Braylin! It's been so busy at work lately we haven't gotten a chance to do an ultrasound on the labor unit so I'm looking forward to it!

28 week update from "What to Expect When You're Expecting":
This week your amazing baby has reached 2.5lbs and may be almost 16inches long. Baby's skill of the week: blinking. Yes, along with the other tricks in a growing repertoire that already includes coughing, sucking, hicupping, and taking practice breaths, your baby can now blink those sweet little eyes. Dreaming about your baby? Baby may be dreaming about you, too, courtesy of the REM sleep she has started getting. But this little dreamer isn't ready for birth day just yet. Though her lungs are nearly fully mature by now (making it easier for her - and you - to breathe a little easier if she were born now), your baby still has a lot of growing to do.
