Well, as we thought, today's appointment wasn't terribly exciting. My belly is measuring where it's supposed to (28 cm for 28 weeks, right on track), I've now gained a total of 20 lbs, and since I'm supposed to gain around 30-35 for my starting weight, with an average of a pound a week for the next 12 weeks, I'm on track for that as well.
We finally got to easily hear her heartbeat! We've had trouble with it every other time, because she is so active! (moving baby = static) Chris (our midwife) said it's because it's getting more crowded in there, so she has less room to move around. Believe me, she is able to move plenty! She is still extremely active, especially when I lay down. She moves a LOT. We can watch my belly move and dance around! There are times when she pushes, rather than kicking and you can feel something hard, like a shoulder or elbow or head. (we can 't usually tell which one!) : )
I also took the glucose test and we should hear those tests soon. However, Chris said it's not very likely that I'll have gestational diabetes, as there's not history of it in my family and I'm not obese, so that's good to hear!
