28 weeks

Well I will officially be 28 weeks on Friday of this week, but I did have my "28" week appt. today. It was that oh so fun appt. when you get to drink the nasty glucose drink to test for gestational diabetes. It's quite funny how they give you the side effects such as lightheadedness, dizziness and vomitting and then tell you "but don't throw it up or else we will have to start over." It wasn't all that bad I guess. I did get a little lightheaded but didn't ever feel bad. I guess I'll know the results next Monday. While I was waiting to have the 2nd blood drawing done, we went in and had the 3D sono done. Not nearly as good as I expected it to be. Jodi, I'm jealous, your pics are way better. My dear little one would not cooperate. Every time he tried to get a still shot, she would move and so we got 3 pics but they aren't great. Oh well it's fine. Richard had a better glance at the screen than I did and I could hear him commenting about her fingers and toes. Afterwards he said it looked like she was smiling for him !!! She only weighed in at 1 pound 13 ounces which is below the normal 2 1/2 pounds expected at this stage. However, the doctor didn't seem concerned and said she was going to just be a petite little girl - we'll see. I start going every 2 weeks now, which for me always seems to make these last few weeks go by a little faster. With the holidays here, I think that will be a good distraction for all of us. I will try to post sono pics when i get back to school and can use a good scanner.

We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, as I'm sure you all do. God has blessed our family so greatly and just continues to add to those blessings every day. I pray that you will all have a wonderful Thanksgiving as well as a safe one. May God bless your families now and always. I am reminded that we should thank God everyday for our blessings and our lives, not just during this holiday. After all he is God all the time not just in November!!!! God Bless !!!
