Today was my 28 week check up - it was a very eventful (and lengthy) appointment, I did the standard Glucose tolerance test, met with the doctor and had an ultrasound to confirm that things were moving along on schedule.
The Glucose test was not much fun, I had to drink 10 ozs of a very sweet and syrupy orange drink and wait an hour to have my blood drawn. I was feeling a little green in the waiting room and was so happy to have Chad there with me! Unfortunately we won't know the results from the test for another 2 - 4 days.
We did get to see our precious little Ava on the ultrasound which was so amazing...she has changed and grown so much in the last 8 weeks! I know the ultrasound photos are grainy and tough to see, but we could see her little features and how they have developed and it was just so incredible. Seeing her little face on the monitor made me well up. She actually smiled twice -- it was soo cute! Best of all we got the wonderful news that everything looks great and is progressing along normally. Ava weights 2 1/2 lbs and is measuring right on schedule!
Now I will start having check ups every 2 weeks and then at 36 weeks I will have weekly visits. Little Ava will be here before we know it -- Chad and I can't wait!!
