28 Week Appointment

We had our 28 week appointment yesterday, and we met with a new midwife. Well, new to us; she just returned from maternity leave after having twins. She was really nice, and also told us that they just hired another midwife, so they are back to a full staff. I was really happy to hear this. Even though I've really liked all of the OBs at our practice, I would ideally like to work with a midwife, and it seems like that will work out for us now.


Nugget's heartbeat was 145, and I am measuring right on track with uterus size and weight gain. I could just listen to that little heartbeat forever! Apparently Nugget doesn't agree, as he kicked the monitor when the midwife put it on my belly! :) I passed my glucola test with flying colors, which means that I do not have gestational diabetes. I'm really happy about that, not only because it keeps my pregnancy in the low-risk category, but I also don't have to give up ice cream!
