Hi everyone! Sorry it has been so long! Days are still flying by.
Everything is still going well.
Today was a MFM visit. It was actually a measurement appointment. Maggie is head down, and during the ultrasound had her legs up behind her head and her hands blocking her face. Her heartrate was 152. She measured 28 weeks 1 day. (50th percentile the doctor said) They estimate her weight to be 2 pounds 7 ounces.
So my belly still hasn't fully "popped." I still have a bit of a dent horizontally through where my belly button sits, but it juts out a little more everyday. My belly button is still fully an innie. But Maggie is big enough that I can SEE her move a lot of the time. Last night I even saw the outline of a hand or foot. You can feel where her tushie is. She's so strong that some of her kicks can push me around a bit. She's a strong chick.
I go back to the OB on the 25th and will get my Rhogam shot, Tdap and some other blood work. Then I think my OB said after that appointment my OB appointments will increase to every 2 weeks. I'm still seeing the MFM every 2 weeks. My insulin needs aren't increasing as much as I expected, but they are going up.
My weight is exactly the same as it's been. Despite eating more than I should. The doctor says again, "As long as the baby is growing..." but it still worries me.
Other than that I'm beginning to have lower back strain and more stretchy cramps like I had earlier in pregnancy which the doctors say is normal.
I can't believe I'm almost to the 3rd trimester! Before Maggie I never could have imagined even being 12 weeks pregnant! Now I'm heading towards the final few months! I'm so excited and so happy.

 | Comment from Celenes_Mommy » Posted Jul. 14, 2018 1:44am I agree with Cmere, as much as I was just DONE being pregnant, I kinda miss it now, especially since it was my last pregnancy. I wish now that I had enjoyed it more. |
| Comment from Mem401 » Posted Jul. 13, 2018 10:37pm I do enjoy being pregnant overall. Mine hasn’t really been too bad. But I am ready to see my girl face to face! :) |
 | Comment from cmere84 » Posted Jul. 13, 2018 10:01pm Moving right along! It won't be long now! The last 10 or 12 weeks go by super fast! Soak it up, it's over so quickly. In the moment you think you jus th want to be done. The sleeplessness,The pain, the aches all suck, but gosh, there's just something about being pregnant that is just amazing! |
