I had my 28 week appointment on Thursday with the nurse. I guess at 28 weeks it's standard to meet with the nurse instead of the doctor so they can review pre-term labor signs and how to avoid them or address them as they are happening. At this point as well, there are no more ultrasounds, so any measurements are done the old fashioned way - with a measuring tape. The baby is exactly the size he is supposed to be around this time - 29 cm, or just over 11 inches long. His head is down by my pelvic bone and his feet are up kicking my ribs. His heartbeat is strong, although it started off a bit fast and the nurse asked if I was having a girl. :)
From this point on, I will see the doctor every two weeks. Start at 36 weeks, I'll go in every week.
On Thursday, my good friend, Amanda, will be flying in from Denver and we'll drive down to Iowa for a baby shower. It was so thoughtful of her to do this - it's not such a good idea that I travel alone and in order for them to throw a shower, I needed someone to drive with me.
We had a very nice visit with Barry's mom and dad this past week. They just flew out yesterday. Sheena knitted an adorable little outfit for the baby, see picture posted below. She also brought along a kitted bear made by a good friend of hers.
