The size of our little boy is can no longer be compared to fruit anymore. He's 15" (that's longer than a foot!) and over 2 lbs in weight! I can't believe that I am a week away from the beginning of my third trimester. The doc said I should feel regular fetal movement by Week 28, but he's been moving everyday for several weeks now. It's a crazy cool feeling. It's like mini earthquakes in my tummy.
Luckily, leg cramps first thing in the morning have gone away (it only lasted 2 days). Sometimes I get restless leg syndrome before bed, so I just make sure I'm really sleepy before shutting the lights off (usually reading makes me sleepy).
This week I'll go for a glucose tolerance test. It is a screening test for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). I have to drink a glucose solution and then my blood is drawn after an hour. If glucose levels are high after that hour, I may have to go back for a 3-hour test. Wish me luck ;)!
the baby moving thing seemed a little freaky at first, but pretty cool. It must feel weird..haha..
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely something you've never felt before! But totally amazing. Wait until I can capture it on video!!
ReplyDeleteSo, have you had your GDM test yet? Did you have to take the 3-hour test? Did you do it at Quest Diagnostics? You're in the home strecth!!! Amy L.
