Home stretch

Well, we're on week 28 and that makes it the third and final trimester! Yeah!!! A milestone I didn't think we'd see but we did.

I had my regular OB check-up today. Little Faith is going strong. Her heart was nice and strong and I got kudos for not gaining any weight. I've actually lost a total of 13 lbs this whole pregnancy. Don't ask me how cause just being off my feet as much as I have, I thought I would have gained it all back plus some. My glucose tolerance test was perfect so no gestational diabetes. The little stinker is still breech. The doctor said we usually wouldn't worry about it until 36 weeks. But he's not too optimistic that she will make it till 36/37 weeks. So we breifly discussed having to manually turn her if I go into labor before she turns on her own. Just one more thing to pray about.

We are also going to stick with seeing him every 2 weeks now to continue to do the fetal fibronectin tests until 36 weeks (same stuff we were doing at the specialists). Then we'll go to every week at the 36 week mark.

Cody and I are getting excited and anxious. Just wondering what she looks like and actually being able to hold her in our arms. I can't wait till she's born (not till at least 35 weeks, thank you very much) just because when she's finally here and doing well, and I won't have to worry about keeping her in on a week to week basis. And being scared about every contraction and twinge. I'll just have to be worried and scared about her for the rest of my life. :)
