My doctor appointment

Today was my 28 week doctor appointment. I've been dreading this appointment because of the glucose test that is standard with this particular checkup. I have been eating so much junk this pregnancy it's insane. With Emma I was a total vegetarian and didn't eat anything sweet. With this one I crave meat like crazy and sweets. Anyway, I drank the orange drink and went with Emma into the lab before my appointment. I was nervous about what Emma would think about them sticking a needle into my arm and seeing blood come out. She was totally fine with it. The lab tech let Emma touch the viles to see how warm they were and she thought that was pretty special. My blood sugar was 98! YAY! I passed!

Then it was upstairs to the doctors office for my regular checkup. They were running REALLY far behind. I got switched over to another doctor 45 minutes after my scheduled time. My blood pressure was 104/64 which I guess is good. I have no clue what the numbers mean. I always ask them if my number is good and they always tell me yes. I've gained 13 pounds so far which is 1 pound more than I gained with Emma. I'm thinking the meat and sweets have something to do with that!

Then we got to listen to Linnea's heartbeat. This was a really cool experience for Emma. She got really excited when she heard it. During her evening prayer before going to bed tonight she thanked Heavenly Father for letting her hear 'nea's' heartbeat. So sweet!

I have been looking through pictures of Emma when she was teeny tiny. I found one that I had forgotten about that I absolutely love:It's of Jacob and her curled up sleeping together. If I remember correctly it was a couple days after he got home from working on the oil rigs for the first time after Emma was born. Looking at this picture makes me so excited about having another little baby. I love how snuggly they are! With Emma I was horrible at determining what her needs were when she was crying and that was the most frustrating thing for me. I hope with this one I will have a better idea as to what to do. That's really the only thing I'm dreading about having a newborn again.

Anyway, that's how my day went. The countdown is on for my big little brother getting home. 15 days tomorrow!
