Dear Baby No Name-
We had our baby appointment for you on Wednesday. Mommy went solo this week since Daddy would need to go to work late Friday morning of this week. I was able to listen to your heartbeat, which ranged from 140-149. It was a great appointment-Mommy's blood pressure is down from last week, my belly measurements looked great, my blood work results were good and your sonogram results were good. Dr. Rosada explained that they normaly look to see if the baby is smaller than normal, however you're doing great & big!! Mommy should have another songram in a few weeks.
Mommy went for the 3 hour glucose test on Friday morning. I was at the hospital from 6:30am to 10:15am. They drew my blood when I first arrived to check for the fasting, wasn't able to eat anything after 7pm. Those results came back fine, so Mommy drank the orange, sugar stuff, waited an hour and then had my blood drawn every hour after. My arms were sore when I left! We are anxiously awaiting those results and keeping our fingers crossed for the best!
You are 28 weeks. At the start of the third trimester, the average baby weighs about two and a half pounds and measures 12 to 16 inches. With the big job of organ and nerve development just about wrapped up, your begin gaining weight -- mostly in the form of body fat --very quickly now. The fat will fill out most of the wrinkles in your skin and supply you with insulation and energy.
You are about 15.25-15.75 inches long. You weigh about 2.25-2.5 pounds and you are the size of a pair of sneakers! You are really beginning to be on schedule with your kicking throughout the day. You have a kicking/punching period when Mommy first wakes up in the morning, after breakfast, mid-morning, after lunch, mid afternoon, all throughout the evening and then before Mommy falls asleep. Your kicks/punches are still enjoyable & not painful yet! You let Landon feel a kick/punch this week-his little face lit up! He loves talking to you, as I'm sure you've heard. He asks Mommy everyday 'how's the baby doing'. He's really going to be a great big brother.
We received your changing table this week! Yea! Daddy put it together for you-he did a great job! So now the changing table and crib are ready for you! Your clothes have all been washed up and are awaiting your arrival. Landon loves to go in your room and look at all of the 'little' things, which used to be his. He giggles when I show him clothes that he used to fit into!
We are very excited to meet you-but hang in there for a few more weeks!
Love you,
Mommy
