28 Weeks

So, I went to my first OBGYN visit at my new doctors and they are wonderful! The group is in the hospital (Hunterdon Medical Center) which I am giving birth to Connor Nicholas at. They answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable.

Today I went for my 7 month glucose testing. I had to get it done at lab corp in the hospital I will be having the baby at. First, I went to the wrong place and already drank that orange sweet stuff... then they told me i would have to re-do it tomorrow and then the nurse said.. just run to the hospital lab corp!! Oh my goodness what a adventure!!! I did not think they would take 5-6 pints of blood!! Wow!! Needles do not bother me at all so i was just talking to the nurse as they did the testing... The only thing that stinked was it was 3 o' clock and I had not eaten yet...So I went to Wendy's! Ha ha!

Here is what is going on in week 28 for me. Fetal development in pregnancy week 28: fetus in seventh month. You know how you’ve been feeling a bit like a barn with legs? Well, that feeling won’t subside before… well, you know, when you finally give birth. For the time being, you’ve got yourself a baby in the business of collecting fat and lots of it! In spite of the dubious joys of being a human-barn, this baby fat business is very serious and you’ve got to put up with it because it’s going to keep your little porker warm and healthy after birth. Other good stuff from inside: their eyes are doing lots of blinking this week because they’re now able to respond to light and dark. Also, their industrious little bone marrow is now a major construction site for developing red blood cells, while their super-cute adrenal glands are actually producing androgen and estrogen—which will stimulate your hormones to begin milk production. Can you say, “Moo?”

Well, that is all for now. I am quite tired from the glucose test today! Have a great evening everyone!!
