Today I am 29 weeks pregnant! I am so close to the 30 week mark I can taste it lol!
I had another OB appointment this afternoon and am happy to report that all is well with both me and baby M!
As usual baby M was moving around trying to avoid the doppler. She is so stubborn already! My weight gain is still within the normal range and is on target, my belly is measuring perfectly, baby's heartbeat is perfect, and I have no signs of pre-term labor. My glucose test last time was perfect, my glucose level was at 115 which was way below the 135 warning mark. My iron level was on the cusp of being low, but I think I generally have slightly low iron PLUS my Dr said most pregnant women have slightly low iron and it wasn't anything to be concerned about. We also had a little discussion about pain management, I told my Dr. how I am a total pain wimp and she asked me how I got my tattoo. Well had I known the one on my ankle would hurt like a mother AND need to be retouched 3 times I wouldn't have gotten it. Basically I want an epidural and as soon as I can't stand the pain anymore.
I have another appointment in 2 weeks, after I return from my Ohio excursion to visit Betsy!!WHAT?!?! Ohio in 2 weeks?
I have lots of things to look forward to... the 30 week milestone, visiting Ohio, only having single digit numbers left in weeks to count down to baby, and first Easter of course! (no need to mention April vacation and the time away from work and middle schoolers!)
