Our appointment was originally on the 2nd, but we were still urban camping in SF so Justino moved it to the 9th.
This appointment was supposed to include my glucose test, but they forgot to put in the request so it was just a normal check up. I gained 8 pounds since my last appointment (better than 10 last time!), but apparently I can't blame the baby since my gargantuan belly is measuring small (27 weeks). ET was moving a bit so it took a little while for the nurse to catch the heart rate. It was 140. I also had a psych test which I passed with flying colors. See, I always knew that I was the most normal person that I know! :p
Our little ET is most active at night, yet he doesn't hesitate to pull out his finest acrobatic moves whenever Justin talks to him. Lornie, we love the book that you gave us to read to ET. Justin read it a couple of times and I swear ET's little baby fist wanted to poke through my skin and turn the pages for him!! hahaah...(ok, that's kinda scary, huh?!)
So....I'm offically in my 3rd trimester! I'm really starting to feel achy and tired a lot more. Justin has been great about trying to keep me comfortable. I'm extra lucky that he's a nurse because he's been trained to have a better idea of what helps and what doesn't. We're also starting to look at the different schedules for lamaze classes. I giggle at the visual that I get of us in one of those classes, but supposedly they really help. I have to "learn to breathe" and I've been told that my recently acquired Darth Vader lungs aren't going to cut it in labor. We'll see...
Next appointment: February 6, 2009
