28 weeks


I had my 28 week check up this week and it went well. Good news is that I passed my 3 hour glucose test so I don't have gestational diabetes. I was so happy to hear that. I am doing great with my weight and gained 1 pound in 2 weeks total pregnancy weight gain is now at 13 pounds. Blood pressure seems to be under control and going good. In fact Dr. Baily said she really thought I would be on bed rest by now because of my BP and she is amazed at how well I am doing at keeping it down. I am still dealing with being really tired all the time and by the time the weekend comes i am just to worn out to do anything. I spend most of Saturday resting. I am still a little disoriented, dizzy and seeing spots. This is due to my anemia. The doc says that my iron count is very low and my anemia is pretty bad. I a taking a new prescription for it an hopefully it will get better. The baby is still breech but she still has plenty of time to move so I am not worried. The last week I have been having terrible headaches that can last for well over 24 hours. The one I had yesterday lasted 18 hours and left unable to do anything other then lay with my eyes closed. Nothing seems to help these as they are from the BP medication and the anemia. Just wish they would not come on the weekend.

We start baby classes on Monday. Chris and I are getting so excited to meet our little Harper soon!
