28 Weeks!

Today I had my routine OB appointment - and all went well - the Dr. told me that the baby is measuring about one week bigger. - Currently I am 27 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Apparently my uterus measured a bit over 28 weeks.

Georgina's heartbeat was again in the 150s. When they tried to measure her heartbeat, she was moving around quite a bit. I think that it was from that drink that I had to test my glucose level. Yuck - I hate that thing. Not to mention that I had a Starbucks iced latte in the morning. I am so addicted - to the iced lattes! Yes, I know - I am not allowed to drink much caffeine. No worries - I only have one a few times a week - besides, who can splurge on $3 coffees everyday? Except that I crave them!!

I hope that I do not have to repeat the glucose test. The label on the sugary drink stated not to drink coffee prior. I did not pay too much attention to it though - because the label also stated to fast for 12 hours before drinking - now, what pregnant woman can fast for that long????

My OB thought that it would be fun to look up my past pregnancy and compare uterus size and weight. While pregnant with the twins, at 28 weeks - my uterus measured full term - 40 weeks and I was 25 pounds heavier than I am right now. Just think, I still had over 2 months left of the pregnancy! This singleton thing is much much easier!
