28 weeks along....

Hello all! Haven't written in quite some time as luckily nothing is going on. Baby is kicking more and more, which I love, and the dr. says that's just fine.

I had my 28 week appt today (my last monthly appt) and also had my sugar test done. I had to drink a mini water bottle full of glucose juice (orange flavored) within 5 minutes and then wait an hr until they take some blood. They check for gestational diabetes (which I really don't think I have), but it's a formality.

My next appointments are every two weeks now, so I will be back April 13 for just a check-up. After the 34 week mark, I will have to go weekly. The baby will really be here before we know it!

My blood pressure was 120/70 and baby's heartbeat today (he/she must have been snoozing) was 143. Baby definitely woke up after the sugar drink. I finally felt some hiccups as well. That was a really cool feeling.

Hope everyone is doing well. Pretty soon, we will all know what I have brewing in here...boy or girl. Happy Easter everyone!!!

Love, Lindsey + Baby E.
