for the record, my shift key has stopped working. please excuse the lack of capital letters.
i am 28 weeks tomorrow, so i went in for my glucose screen today. such joy. i nearly failed this screen with claire, so i was a bit worried about it. i know i shouldn't adjust my diet for this special occasion, but i couldn't help thinking about what i should and should not eat. i started the day with 2 small blueberry muffins, drank lots of water and got to lunch. i didn't have time to run to the cafe for my usual salad bar, so i popped some popcorn. that didn't fill me, so i decided to run grab a panini. evidently this could have been a mistake--white bread. ugh. i went for the screen and will find out tomorrow the ramifications of my choices. i was nearly anemic with my first pregnancy, which is also examined at this point, so tomorrow could be a bang-up day. after my blood work, i had an exam. i love all of my doctors. no complaints about any. love them. love them. love them. dr. t. asked to measure my belly. sure. whoa--who would have guessed i could once again be birthing a toddler. i was definitely not having these fears at this point in my first pregnancy. anyway, he said i was measuring a "bit big" for this point, but that i shouldn't rush to worrying. she could be tall. ha. that made me laugh. chris and i having a tall kiddo. i don't think that is likely, but the probability of us having a large baby is pretty strong. oh well. whatever. big or small, she is our little blessing. on the other hand, i look at clare. she was a large kiddo (8lbs. 4oz.) and now she's barely hanging onto the chart. i guess each does as they are destined. heartbeat was great--152 bpm and she was moving like a crazy kid. her movement has definitely been a characteristic of this pregnancy. she has been a mover since we first 'saw' her at 7 weeks. anyway, we'll see what tomorrow brings, until then, i'll leave you with a pic of my largeness.
i really shouldn't post this picture, but i will because i think claire was especially cute today.
whoa--look at that tummy. i think i am giving octomom a run for her money.
