Feeling... Fat.

Had my 28 week appointment yesterday...

Passed the glucose test with 120! (anything under 140 is passing!)

Got the Rhogam in my right butt cheek - it was nowhere near as bad as people have told me it was!

BP good (130's/58)

No glucose or protein in my pee (Yipee!)

I'm not anemic - which is good since I've been forgetting my prenatal vitamins most days...so it's good to know my diet is sufficient!

Weight... 157#... that's another 10# gain this past 4 weeks...that puts me at a total of 25# already!!! ACK!!! They didn't say anything about it though.

Baby is head down already, but that doesn't mean she'll stay there...she's still small enough she can move around a lot!

I'm measuring 28 weeks. I'll be 28 weeks Sunday, so that's right on target!

Next appointment is in 2.5 weeks (they couldn't get me in in 2 weeks).


So yeah, I mentioned the weight gain... everyone is telling me it's all belly. I'm here to assure you, it's NOT all belly... it's arms, back, butt... And I said "everyone"...but really that's a lie. One lady at work told me on Saturday that my face is getting fat (what!?!) and yesterday another lady grabbed my upper arm and was like "whoa!"... EXCUSE ME! Why do people think they can be rude just because someone is pregnant?!?!

My back has been really sore today - so I'm going to crash on the couch soon. Haven't been sleeping the greatest because my back is sore. I'm doing the pillow-between-the-legs trick and it helps, but not enough.

I can cross one more thing off the long to-do list! We're registered to take our labor/birthing class on September 1st. :)

I do have belly pictures from 23, 24, and 27 weeks - just have to get them downloaded and posted. I didn't get pictures for weeks 25 and 26 though. :(

I had to laugh about people saying you have a fat face. I had a professor tell me that my face was "getting full"... and this was before I was hardly even showing!!
