One hour glucose

{<--------28 Week Belly}

Hello 7th month and 3rd trimester! In the final stretch now and we are getting so much closer. The holidays are going to make these remaining 81 days fly by!

Yesterday I had my 28 week check up. Unfortunately, the weight gain has gone up, lol. I take that back, it's not unfortunate because I'm actually right on track, gaining a pound a week and the baby is healthy. I guess I'm just a little bummed because I did lose 17 lbs before getting pregnant and it's a little hard for me to watch the numbers go back up! Tough business this human growing! So the total is now 8.6 lbs (eek) and with 12 weeks left in the pregnancy, if I gain properly it should put me right at 20 lbs which is a far cry from the 37 with Caden. Perfect weight gain for someone who was overweight to begin with so I'm happy.

I did my one hour glucose test as well. Let's hope that comes back negative! I'd hate to have to take the 3 hour one. It really didn't have any effect on me until later in the day. My head starting hurting and I got sick, but all is well today!

My belly is measuring at 29 weeks which would put me ahead a week, but I'm sticking to my 28 weeks. If he ends up coming a week early, no complaints here! She asked how much Caden weighed at birth and said Carter will probably be about the same, maybe a little bigger. Works for me :) My porking butt weighed 8lbs, 13oz, my poor mom. Caden was 7lbs, 8oz. Long and skinny, yes I'd like that again please :) I also found out that my doctor does NOT deliver at the closer hospital. A little bummed about that but it's okay, sticking to the original plan sounds like a good idea. Plus she lives in our old neighborhood so she is close to the hospital in case I start labor in the middle of the night.

The baby shower is in 15 days. I am getting so excited. One reason being that it's the baby shower! And the second being that we get to take a FAMILY vacation and see all our friends and family. Who could ask for anything better?

We planned to take Caden to ride Thomas on the way home in Perris, CA, but mommy did some convincing and now we will be heading to the zoo for the first time. I think I might be a little more excited to take him then he is to go, but still. It should be fun.

Speaking of my little Caden Bug, he FINALLY starts preschool on Monday, the 27th. He will go Mon-Fri for 3 hours each day and then once Carter is born we are switching him to Mon, Wed, Fri for 5 hours each day. It will give him a nice break from his screaming brother. He's so excited. The next time I post we should have some pictures of it.

As for Steven and I, our 6 year anniversary is coming up on the 5th. We are happy :) He is tired and I'm pregnant and that's us in a nutshell. GO CHARGERS!
