28 weeks- 3rd trimester, here I come!

I seriously can't believe I'm in the home stretch. I remember with Wade, when the midwife said to start coming every two weeks how excited/nervous I was! This time, one of our midwives, Kari, said, "This means you're really pregnant now." LOL, is that what this is...?

Seriously though, the time has just FLOWN by!

Lily is still moving and kicking up a storm and has twirled herself from lying sideways to where she is head down now. I can feel her kicking way higher (usually in my ribs, but occasionally she elbows my belly button, which is a strange, strange feeling)and feel her hiccups down lower.

At our last appointment, Kari found her heartbeat pretty easily since she has no where to hide now! I will go back this weekend for a glucose test, since my body is so strongly affected by when, what and how much I eat. They do their testing more naturally- you fast before you come in; have your blood drawn; go have a sugary breakfast and come back about 2 hours later to get your blood drawn again. It will tell how your actually body processes "real" food. Novel idea, huh? ;) Around 34 weeks I will start to have appointments every week and they will visit our house. Just to make sure they know where we live. That could come in handy :)
