28 weeks

I made it! I feel like so much has changed in just a week...mostly my attitude. I just have been feeling sort of miserable this week. I feel like I'm getting huge and uncomfortable and yet I still have 3 months to go. I'm trying to stay positive. I am so thankful to be having such a nice healthy pregnancy this time. I had my doctors appointment Wednesday. As soon as I got there they gave me the yummy orange glucose drink and a timer set for an hour. I drank it (it really wasn't bad) and then went on with my normal appointment. (This doctors office is so efficient and organized - makes things so easy) I did gain 4 pounds - so I'm at 24 pounds. Geez. The Dr. told me I need to average a pound a week. Um, okay...This made me laugh a little because I wish I could control what I'm gaining, believe me! So I'll try to keep that in mind...as I stuff another strawberry poptart in my mouth. :) Other than that, everything went really well. My blood pressure is still great - which makes me very happy since I had issues with that last time. Then I had my blood work done for the glucose test and was out of there. I got the call yesterday (AT 5:00!) that my test came back normal! YAY -- no 3 hour test this time! So, my next appointment is in 2 weeks. I love going every two weeks - it makes time go by so fast! However, next Wednesday we have a 3d/4d ultrasound with an imaging place scheduled. I am SO SO excited to see what my little Nolan looks like! For now, here's a quick picture of what I look like this week...
