28 Weeks

Yesterday I went to my 28 week check up.  Everything is right on track.  The heartbeat sounds great and my belly is measuring normal, but a little big...says the doctor.  Most people think I look small.  I feel like a whale.  I weighed in at 147 lbs.  I've gained about 15 pounds so far. 
I had to test for gestational diabetes and also get my hemoglobin checked.  They make you drink this fluid within five minutes and then wait an hour to test your blood to see if you're diabetic.  I passed.  The drink is not too bad and tastes more like the juice that's inside those little plastic juice containers with the metal lids that you rip off.  My grandma always had this juice on the farm. 
My hemoglobin is normal and the lab technicians just said to continue taking the viatamins that I'm on.  I'm glad that my iron isn't low.  When I was pregnant with Emmy, I had low iron and had a major craving for ice.  I haven't had any cravings with this pregnancy...yet.
I will be going into the clinic every two weeks and then once a week when I get closer to delivery.  We scheduled our c-section with the doctor, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.  Looks like it will be a "Good Friday" baby and a little Easter Bunny!!
