Finish Line

I guess I am officially in my 3rd trimester now. Hopefully the finish won't be for another 3 months but I bet they'll fly even faster than the rest of my pregnancy.
I had my 28 week appointment today and was tested for gestational diabetes (routine testing). I don't know the results yet. The baby girl measures at 28 weeks as she should be, her heartbeat was 152 beats/minute. She's moving and kicking and I think she moved into the right position with her head down because I feel much stronger kicks under my ribs. We'll see where she is in 1 week...I am having another ultrasound. The reason for that is my frequent contractions in the past week, which neither I ( I had the same with Aaron) or the doctor seemed to be concerned about but he decided to be on the safe side and ordered another ultrasound to make sure I am not progressing yet. By the end of the day I sometimes have about 4 contractions/hour. They go away as I rest (which is only when Aaron is resting) and I don't feel them at night. It seems like my doctors order an ultrasound for anything:) Not a big deal except that taking care of Aaron in the middle of the week and in the middle of the day while I am at the doctor's is not always convenient for Cliff's work. But...it's better to be safe than sorry.


Last weekend we enjoyed a visit from Greg and Cathy. Aaron (and us) was so happy to have them here. On the weekend we went to an airplane show and had a good time there. The highlight for Aaron, though, was the military Hummers. He got to sit in one of them and I later regreted letting him do so, as he was very upset to have to get out of it after about 1 minute because there was a line of other kids waiting to try it out. I will probably post more about our little man and his new developments later. Will try to upload a video here in a second.
