Week 28

This week was about the busiest week of my life! lol. All of my finals and projects were due this week. I am happy that I am only taking one class next semester. It will be so much easier that five classes! I went to the doctor's this week; one last visit before vacation. I had a glucose test, and that came back normal. Jacob's heart rate was 150 bpm, and my uterus measured 29 cm. Everything is still going well. Jacob has become more active. I can start to feel arms and legs when he kicks. He stuck his foot out, and I could feel it! It was bitty, so he is still growing. I'm getting more excited for him to come so I can give him kisses! Ben started a baby registry. We are going to register at Babies R Us, and maybe one more place. Our registry is quite premature. We wanted to go to the store and check things out before we put them on our registry! Ben registered for a "man" diaper bag. I think it is hilarious that they make masculine diaper bags.

How big is Jacob?

Jacob is almost equal in weight to a chinese cabbage-- 2 1/4 lbs, and almost 15 in.

Week 27

Well, not much new. School kept me super busy! I have a picture! I don't have my camera card, so I will post it later! : )

Week 26

Well, first off, I had a doctor's appointment this week. My uterus measured 26 inches, and Jacob's heart rate was about 155 if I remember right. The doctor said his heartbeat was nice and strong. The doctor asked if I was interested in taking the glucose tolerance test. I didn't think it was an option. He told me that I was not high risk for gestational diabetes. I think I will still take the test at my next doctor's appointment. Just so I know for sure. I have another doctor's appointment in two weeks. The doctor wants to see me one last time before we go on vacation and stay in California for about a month. He just wants to make sure Jacob is still doing well. I'm pretty sure Jacob is just fine. He is much more active these days. It does make it a little difficult to fall asleep at night, but I'm adjusting to his movements.

Jacob is about 14 inches long and weighs about a pound and 2/3

So, this Sunday, there was a girl in the ward who had her baby 2 weeks ago. She has the same doctor that I have and she said she had a great delivery experience, so that was good news for me. She let me hold her little girl. She was so cute!!! I told Ben, "Soon we will be holding a little baby just like this, but he will be our baby!!!" It was such a special experience.

An Updated Belly Picture: 26 weeks and 1 day


How I've Been Feeling:
I'm still feeling pretty good. My stomach hasn't really grown lately, its just become tighter. I don't remember seeing the inside of my belly button, and now it is completely flat! I told Ben today that I think I'm starting to waddle a little bit. haha... I knew it was going to come to this! My only complaint that I have is the acid reflux. My doctor told me to take Zantac everyday, but I haven't bought any yet. Other than that... I'm getting by just fine. School hasn't been too overwhelming, but I will be glad when it is over. This week, I put all of Jacob's clothes in the closet and I put his bath things in the bathroom. This apartment is perfect for a new addition. It was so fun to do a little nesting! I can't wait to do more!!!
