28 weeks today


Today marks the start of week 28. I can't believe that our baby is 28 weeks already.
He has been kicking a whole lot stronger lately. When I haven't felt him in a while I can't help but softly press around my tummy in hopes of waking him up and making him kick me back. Just so that I know he's alive and well. I feel bad for doing this but at the same time it makes me feel better. I can just see his little face all scrunched up and mad punching me back half awake.
Sorry Coop!
I've been feeling relatively good this past week. The lovely UTI I was diagnosed with early last week is getting better and I believe I still have some meds to take to completely cure it up but for the most part I'm feeling good. I still have no stretch marks WOOHOO! I just hope it stays that way and I've gained about 21-22 lbs total so far in this pregnancy.
I was wondering if anybody could tell me when you were given the Rhogam shot if you are RH Negative? My mom told me she thought it was supposed to be this week but I mentioned it to the nurse at my office and she nonchalantly said "As long as its before 32 weeks your good. So they will give it to me at my next appointment which is 30 weeks. I just hope that's not too late? I also haven't been tested for the Beta Strep which tends to be very popular in my family. (I'm not sure if that matters but we have had a few babies in our family with this). So I forgot to ask my doc when they will be testing me for this too?
I had my blood glucose test last week and everything looked good there. I do not have gestational diabetes.

We had a great 4th of July, I spent the day with my mom. She bought me a beautiful navy dress to wear to my showers. I can't wait.
Then we went to some friends houses, both pool parties. I stayed up until 11:00. This is past my bed time. These days I'm just no fun past 9:30-10:00. I get so tired and my body starts to get achy. So I was proud of myself.

I hope you all had a great weekend.
This Friday is our big 4d ultrasound, I'm so excited. I can't hardly wait to see our little guy. We will hopefully get lots of pictures. So I will upload them, especially the really good ones for you all to see.

I just want to thank God for this beautiful gift and ask that he keep watching over our baby boy keeping him alive and well and to help him grow strong and ready to live to live in this world.

Attached is a pic of what the size of our baby is right now.
Have a great rest of the week!

Cant wait to see your 4d ultra sound? Are you choosing to have it done?!?!

I poke her too when I don't feel her moving around for a while. Welcome to the third trimester my friend!!

Ooo Fun! Can't wait to see pics of the little man. We had our 4D last week and it was amazing!

I don't personally have to have the Rh Shot, but a few friends of mine have. 32 weeks sounds about right. I don't think they would let it slip.

Ps. I'm 33 weeks (on Friday) and I don't have any stretch marks (yet)! There is hope! :) GO US!

Way to go no stretch marks!! I'm a big poker. The girls and I play games. They poke out, I poke in-it's back and forth. DH hates it, he's worried I'll harm them. Can't wait to see shower pics!

I had my rhogam shot at my 28 week appointment. I'm sure all will be fine.
I dont know a thing about the strep test but i believe thats done closer to term. I dont know though, never made it that far in my pregnancies.

Just stopping in to say hello and thinking of you !!!

Emily said...

Congrats on entering the third trimester! Glad you are still feeling well. I am Rh negative and had my RoGam shots right around 30 or 32 weeks too. Oh, and just to warn you, it burns when you get it! Definitely wasn't a fun experience. :(
