I Passed!

I am so excited to have passed my 1-hour glucose test this morning. I asked the nurse twice if she was sure because I was afraid I was making up the good news in my head! That means I don't have to take the 3-hour test. Whew!

My BP was good today too, 125/78. I am happy to see that top number hover below 130 instead of being in the high 140's over 6 weeks ago. I would really like to bypass bedrest this time around.

I'm officially 28 weeks (or 7 months for those of you who don't want to divide by 4). Dr. Song measured my belly for the first time today. Strangely enough you should measure the same in inches as your weeks in gestation. I am measuring 29 1/2 inches. Ok, so we knew from the ultrasound that this baby was measuring 6 days ahead. (I think Owen was measuring about 3-4 days ahead at the same time). She asked me how big my 1st was....7.9 lbs. 3 weeks early. She said, this one is going to be about the same. If Owen would have gone full term, he'd have been 8.5 to 9 lbs! I don't think there's enough room in me for a baby that big! Dr. Song agreed with me that she didn't think I'd make it full term. October baby...

Any guesses on an arrival date??
