28 week checkup for Baby Girl

Today I had my 28 week appointment with my OB for Baby Girl. This was the fun one...not really. I had to drink the nasty stuff for the glucose tolerance test to check for gestational diabetes. Then had to wait for the stuff to get into my blood, and then they take the blood to actually do the test. I also had to get my RhoGam shot because I am one of the lucky 10 % of the population to have A - as a bloodtype. Because Pat is positive, if baby girl is not negative like me, I guess my body can decide the pregnancy isn't a good thing. So, another shot. Of course there was the ever fun weigh in, and the actually fun part of getting to hear her heartbeat. Still sounding good! She either didn't like or did like the little wand on my belly because she kicked it pretty hard. I also got measured to check approximate fetal size. The size of one's belly should pretty much match up with your week of pregnancy. For example, I am 28 weeks along, so baby girl should be measuring about 28. However, I measured pretty small this time. About 24. Last month I measured small too, but not that big of a discrepancy. So, if this continues this next month, they may do a fetal growth check (an ultrasound) to check out her growth. I was a little worried, but my doctor seemed to think it would be ok. I also gained plenty of weight this past month, so one of us is growing, unfortunately I guess it's just my thighs:)
