28 Weeks

I am officially 28 weeks pregnant! I had another appointment today-kid free. Troy came home to watch the boys for his lunch break because I was suppose to do the "wonderful" glucose test. The doctor told me I could do it when ever it was convenient for me. My thought...."hmmm, will it EVER be convenient?? " :) It was a crazy experience getting to the doctor's office today. I left the house 15 minutes early and was still ten minutes late. Oops! Construction and parking all over town has made a quick/easy trip a lot more complicated. It took me 10 minutes to find a place to park.

When I walked into the office I saw a nurse hurry to the front desk and in a not so pleasant voice ask the scheduler "is my appointment here yet?" I knew she had to be talking about me. I just stood there until she was done ranting and raving. She turned and looked at me and in her "lovely" voice said, "are you checking in?" I said I was and she quickly snapped back with "well, what's your name?" As soon as I told her she continued on with her poor attitude "your appointment was at 11:00, you are late!" To which I replied, "Yes I know, I have spent the last ten minutes trying to find a place to park." She turned and walked away. I didn't know if I was suppose to follow her or what. After a minute or so the scheduler just smiled and told me to have a seat, they would be right with me. I just didn't understand why the nurse was so upset and then walked away for five minutes when she had my folder in her hand. What a great start to this appointment...

Anyway, enough about the unfriendly nurse, today I found out:
*I gained 3 pounds in the past month
*My urine looks good (I always think it is funny when they come in and say that)
*My belly is measuring 29 1/2 centimeters (To those who have had a baby, wouldn't that make me 29 1/2 weeks pregnant? I always thought your belly was suppose to measure exactly how far along you are?)
*The baby's heartbeat sounds GREAT! She is still moving around like crazy.
*I am now on the 2 week schedule for appointments. I can't believe I am already to that point.

Oh, and I must comment on the doctor I saw today. She was a little scary and looked NOTHING like her picture in the waiting room. Can we say BOTOX!!! She congratulated me 10 times in the 3 minutes she was in the room and as she flipped through my medical history says "well, I don't think we have anything to be concerned about. Your past pregnancies look great." (She flipped through 2-3 pages at a time.) I wish I could read that FAST. Ha! Ha!
