We're 26 1/2 weeks pregnant, which is the third trimester! I think that my belly is getting bigger every week. Pregnancy books estimate that the baby weighs 2 lbs now. If the baby was born today it has chances of survival in a NICU... but lets not count on any deliveries for three more months.
I had a glucose blood test two days ago, it tests for gestational diabetes or something like that. Lab work is pretty boring because they make you drink this orange colored sugar water and then wait for 1 hour to get your blood drawn. I couldn't leave to waiting area or eat and drink anything. It gave me a sugar headache and the baby was kicking like crazy from the sugar rush.
My next prenatal appointment is on tuesday. I'm sure its nothing special, just that same old things...blood pressure, weight check, heartbeat, etc. But I'm taking Jeremy with me this time. So he can finally hear the heartbeat!
Oh man, I am SO ready for the third trimester! Bring it on!!!
