28 Weeks

Hello Everyone,

We have made it to the third trimester! Roughly 12 weeks to go! Tim and I are doing great. We had a doctor’s appointment this past Friday. I had the glucose screening test done. It wasn’t that bad. The sugary drink tasted like melted orange Popsicle. I haven’t gotten the results in yet. We listened to the babies heart beat and measured my belly. She is doing fine. The doctor scheduled an ultrasound for next week Wednesday to take measurements of the baby and amniotic fluid levels. I can’t wait to see her again. I will post a couple pictures after the appointment. Since we are in the third trimester, the doctor is seeing us every 2 weeks now, instead of every 4. In the last month, April, I will start going once a week.

According to the charts the baby should weigh about 2 and a quarter pounds and measure about 14.8 inches from head to heal. She is putting on layers of fat to survive in the outside world and is sporting eyelashes.

Tim and I took care of a co-worker’s dogs this past weekend. They have three beagles, a mom and two puppies. Tim fell in love with the boy puppy, Yager. He has an awesome personality, very friendly. Tim wanted to take him home so bad, but a dog is something we can’t have right now. Maybe when the kids are grown up enough to take care of an animal, I will think about it. We really don’t have the yard or time to care for a pet…especially with the baby coming.

I hope everyone is doing well. Have a great week. We will see some of you soon.

Love,
