Baby Scrabble and I returned to the doctor on Tuesday for our 28 week checkup. It was a pretty uneventful visit. I heard her heartbeat, which was 150. She's been between 145 and 160 the whole time. Jeff didn't make this visit, in part because we knew the lab work might be lengthy.
I had to endure the glucose drink/blood test. I'd heard horror stories about how awful the drink would be but it was not bad. To me it tasted like flavored water with a little too much sugar. 30 minutes or so after drinking it I really wanted something salty to counteract all that sweet but overall it was quite tolerable. The doctor told me they would only call if I failed the test, and if I passed we'd talk about it at my next appointment. Late Wednesday afternoon, I had a message from the nurse on my voicemail and panicked momentarily. She actually called to say I had passed and that I could call them if I wanted specific numbers.
Our doctor visits will now be every 2 weeks because we are in the final trimester. Can you believe it?! Jeff & I still have SO much to do to get ready for the baby. An acquaintance of Jeff's who also sees our doctor delivered at 27 weeks not long ago. Praise God the baby is doing great... it just serves as a reminder to me that we just don't know when Baby Scrabble will get here and right now, we have nowhere to put her!
