28 Week Appointment

So I just returned from my 28 week appointment and everything looks great so far. This was also the appointment that I had to do the glucose test. It was not as bad as I thought it would be, but still not great. About an hour before my appointment I had to drink a bottle of super sugary fruit punch flavored stuff and then they took my blood an hour later to see how I reacted. I won't receive the results until tomorrow or Monday, but I am not too worried. I felt a little jittery and nauseous after drinking the glucola, but otherwise not too bad.

The baby's heart rate was at 140 again, nice and strong. My blood pressure was steady (don't remember the exact number but the nurse said it was good) and my weight was fine (gained more that I probably should have, 5lbs, but nothing huge). I also had to get the Rhogram shot today which was not bad at all. It was given in the butt, but didn't really hurt. My next appointment is in 3 weeks and then I start going in every 2 weeks for 2 appointments and then every week. That is what made me realize that this baby is almost here! I will post as soon as I get the glucose results.
