28 Weeks: The Third Trimester!!



Today I had my 28 week OB appoitment where I received the results from my pregnancy diabetes test I took on Monday. The results were all fine except that they found that I am anemic again, meaning that I have low iron and so will need to start taking iron supplements. This is nothing new for me as I have been anemic before. Other than that I weight in at 145, so I have gained 2 pounds since my last visit which was three weeks ago. Blood pressure and baby's heart beat were both fine as well. I will now be seeing my doctor every two weeks from here on out. Only 2 and a half months to go!! Which by the way is so insane....I can't believe it is almost April already, time flies! 

In other news Sal and I got some baby furniture this past weekend and I thought it would be nice to post some pictures of the nursery. We still have to get the dresser and some other assesories for the room but I love how the room is coming along, nesting is way too much fun!!

Also I have posted a picture my my belly that we took this past Sunday where I am 27 weeks and three days. Although I am already almost 28 weeks so I am writing about that today. 

How Our Baby is Growing at 28 weeks: Our baby now weighs about two and a quarter pounds and measures 14.8 inches from top of his head to his heels. He can now blink his eyes, which now sports lashes. With his eyesight now developing, he may be able to see the light that filters through the womb. Exciting stuff!!
