28 weeks

I didn't update on week 27 so here's a little recap. Jake and I went to Missouri the 13th through the 17th to visit his family and friends. The ride was a little brutal but we did it in 2 days so it was ok. His moms birthday was the 14th, she had a surprise party which was fun. Jakes family and one of his friends gave the baby a bunch of stuff! I loved seeing everything and going through all the clothes. We are really appreciative of everything they gave us.

My dad finished painting her room and hung the border while we were in Missouri. It looks amazing! I was so excited when I got home! The crib and changing table came in so my dad put those together for us when we got home also. Her nursery is coming along beautifully. I ordered letters for her wall to spell her name. They will be here on Wednesday. We only have a few more finishing touches to put on her room and it will be perfect <3 Pictures will come soon.

I finally uploaded some of the 3d pictures from my 26 week ultrasound. I will post them on here when I get home tonight. In 2 weeks we go in for our last 3d/4d ultrasound before she is born. It's so hard to believe that she will be here in 11 weeks... we can't wait for her!

So far week 28 is going really good. She is still breeched and still kicking away at my bladder haha.

I went to the doctor today and had my glucose test done for gestational diabetes. I had 5 minutes to drink what looked and tasted like crush orange soda and then had to wait an hour for my blood to be drawn. I saw my doctor while I waited. I have gained 19 pounds! The baby's heart rate is in the 130s and my fundal measurement is 29cm, right on track. I told her that I've been having some pretty bad pains right under my ribs but it doesn't seem to be pregnancy related and should be ok. I had to have a shot (in the butt!) since I have a negative blood type and Jakes blood type is unknown. I believe it's called Rhogam and it basically blocks the creation of antibodies that would harm any future pregnancy, and possibly this one if my baby is Rh positive. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'll look at the sheet and write anything I missed about it when I upload the pictures. After the shot I went back to the lab to have my blood drawn. I had 3 viles and 2 tests done. I do not have gestational diabetes. The other test was for my hemoglobin and everything looked good with that too. I see the doctor every 2 weeks now. Time is flying!
