Update From Appointment

My appointment went well last week. I had to do my glucose test and was also tested for anemia. I got a call yesterday that my glucose test came back normal but that I am anemic and need to start taking Iron. Maybe that is why I have been more tired than usual lately so we'll see if the Iron helps. Everything else is fine. And the baby is continuing to be very active. She is especially active at night starting around 8:30 pm. She doesn't keep me awake ( yet) but everytime I wake up I can feel her moving. So she must be a night owl ( most babies are, I think). I can feel her and see her moving across my whole belly. I have started doing kick counts which basically means keeping track of her kicks and movements. I pretty much have her pattern figured out so if I feel that there is any deviation in her patterns or slowing in her movements I will contact my doctor. Her room is coming along. I got the curtains for her room and crib skirt made over the weekend. And I bought a double stroller off of Craigslist last week. So things are coming along. There is still a lot to do to get ready but we are getting there!

27 Weeks

I am now at 27 weeks ( as of saturday) and I definitely am really starting to feel pregnant. There is definitely no hiding the fact that I am pregnant anymore ( not that I am trying to hide it but I have definitely crossed the line where not even a flowly black outfit conceals my belly). The baby is still very active and I got my first kick in the ribs yesterday. Sometimes I think she is doing flips in there because there is so much movement in every direction. It's fun to feel her move and to wonder what she will be like when she is born. I am still feeling pretty good but I am starting to notice the weight of my expanding belly. Bending over has become more of a chore in recent days. I also have been having a lot of indigestion which makes we wonder if the old wives tail is true that our little girl will have lots of hair on her head. I haven't really had too many cravings so Josh hasn't had to go on any late night trips out to pick up food for me (at least not yet!). I have my glucose tolerance test tomorrow and I will also be getting a shot of antibodies due to my blood type. We will start some classes soon and will be signing up for our hospital tour soon as well. It's hard to believe I am as far along as I am. In the beginning it went a little slow but now I can't believe where the time has gone. So things are going well still. I'll post more after my appointment tomorrow.
