28-week appointment

Today was a very uneventful 28-week appointment. My blood pressure and weight are still on track, and Cheeto’s heartbeat is about 130 bpm. (Don’t try to judge Cheeto’s sex based on the heartbeat. It’s not a very good indicator. :o) )

They also tested me for gestational diabetes. For this test, I drank an orange, surgary syrup then had my blood drawn an hour later. We don’t expect anything to be wrong, but they’ll let us know if there’s a problem.

Now our appointments are every two weeks. Yikes! Already? Then once I reach 36 weeks, our appointments will be weekly. I wonder if the third trimester will drag on like so many women say it does!
