28 Weeks

12 Weeks till due date, that's 10 weeks till Christmas too, I don't know which one is more scary.

OK I do but I'm not trying to worry myself about that just yet.

We had my 28 week appointment today, everything went really well Baby Green has a lovely healthy heartbeat between 130 -135, she is laying transverse (that's laying sideways to me and you).

I've booked in to have my gtt (glucose) test next Wednesday where I have to fast for 12 hours before drinking some glucose drink before having a blood test 2 hours later to see if I have diabetes. Ive also booked in to have my whooping cough injection to help protect Baby Green, I know people have their own reservations about certain injections but for me there is no harm for the baby so I want to do what I can to protect her in her early weeks of life. We have booked in our appointments up to 36 weeks that's takes us up to the 10th December, it might sound a way off but its not.

How Far along are you: 28 weeks Eeek!

How are you finding sleeping at night: Sleep is hit and miss, most nights I fidgit, I'm restless and can't get comfortable no matter what position I get in to. If I'm lucky to have a good nights sleep its still broken sleep due to the joys of pregnancy bladder.

Any Baby purchases this week: Paint and Blind for the Nursery is our only purchase this week, trying to be good as its so easy to get carried away.

Best moments regarding Baby this week: I would have to say hearing her Heartbeat today at our appointment, but in general just feeling her move and kick is amazing.

Any food cravings: I wouldn't say any cravings as such but the last week I've been naughty with a lot of chocolate.

Food Aversions: Nope I cant say I have.

How's Mummy: That's a good question, I'm still tired and not got a lot of energy but just started taking some pregnancy vitamins in the hope they help! Ive had a headache for a few days that I forgot to mention to midwife but will see how it goes, apart from that I'm well.

What are you looking forward to this week: James starting the Nursery, I cant wait to see it all coming together.

Our Baby in veggie/fruit terms: Tropical Coconut 

I will add a Bump Picture tomorrow.
