Week Twenty-Seven

May 7, 2010 by Aliesha

I feel like I just took last week’s photo!

I had a doctor’s appointment this past week (yesterday, actually) that included a glucose test and a RhoGam shot. My midwife said things are going well and that the baby’s heartbeat is steady and strong.

She did tell me that since my last appointment (5 weeks ago) I gained 10 pounds! No wonder I’ve been feeling a LOT bigger in my belly! It’s okay though, since I was not at the weight I needed to be last time. Now I am right on track, and as long as I only gain a pound a week from here on out, I’ll be fine.

Baby girl is very active and responds to me pressing against my belly. She kicks back! We are excited about all of the ways she is growing and developing.

We continue to thank God for the healthy pregnancy thus far. We do not take it for granted!

    You look great!!! It’s so neat that you are going to a midwife! Are you having a home birth? I had my little girl with a midwife, but we had to travel to her clinic to have the baby b/c it’s illegal for midwives to attend births in the state of AL ๐Ÿ™
