Well I figured I should probably update something on here - even though there's not too much news to report.
I had another Dr. appointment on Monday - got blood drawn to get tested for gestational diabetes. I should get the results in the next day or so. We'll see if I pass - the nurse said that she sees about half of the women pass and half "fail" the test. If I do fail - I will have to go to the hospital for a 3 hour test! Hopefully that's not the case for me!
The Dr. said I'm measuring perfect growth - she told me that I shouldn't be worried if I'm hearing a lot of "you look too small to be 28 weeks pregnant"! -- which just so happens to be the case. I'm ok with it though, I guess I'd rather look smaller and know that the baby is healthy than not. The Dr. told me that with my frame, I should expect somewhere around a 6 pound baby! That'd be great - so we'll see how accurate that is! Dan was 8.5 lbs when he was born and I think I was on the smaller side, so I think our chances are pretty good of at least having a smaller baby.
Other than that, not too much else is new. Dan is finally home from his hunting adventures - so now we're getting focused on home improvement projects, picking Health Insurance, a Daycare and getting ready for our baby preparation class (Dec. 11)!
I have my first Baby Shower this weekend - SO excited for it - hosted by my BFF (love you Kristen)! I'm so thankful for my friends and family and their excitement and support through this whole experience! It'll be so great to celebrate and visit with them this Saturday. Kind of crazy how real it makes this feel though - we're having a baby shower...because we're having a baby! Still sinking in...I know you'd think it would be pretty real if you saw my belly sticking out...still just kind of a surreal, but amazing blessing!
That's about all I have now - just hanging in there, waiting...letting this precious little girl grow!
