We are starting our 29th week of pregnancy. So far, so good.
We had an appointment on Friday where we had another ultrasound. I think Annabelle is getting cuter and cuter every time. I’m so excited to see her. In her ultrasound pictures, I think she looks like Mason. Mason says she looks like me. I’ll let you judge for yourself.
Our appointment went well. I had the dreaded glucose test which wasn’t as bad as some of the stories I’ve heard. If you don’t know what this is, I’ll explain. They make you drink this really sweet drink that tasted like an extra sweet Hawaiian punch. The doctor said it was an equivalent of eating 50 jelly beans. Mason would have loved it. After you drink it they make you sit there for an hour and then take your blood to make sure your body processed the sugar like it should. The results came back good. No gestational diabetes.
On Saturday we had our next baby class. This one was a birthing class that went through breathing techniques, what to expect when we go into labor, tips on what we should bring to the hospital, birthing videos, etc. I thought it was a good class. Mason thought it was kinda long. There was a lot learned (and some tearing up on my part).
We bought our first cloth diapers since I last posted to the blog. We now have 6 diapers on hand. We just need 30 more. Mason and I even tested them out on a baby doll we have. I hope Annabelle stays as still when we change her diaper.
To go with our new cloth diapers, Mason’s Dad bought Annabelle a new washer with a sanitary cycle. It was delivered today and we already started using it. It’s definitely going to get a lot of use with all those cloth diapers!!!
In the meantime Annabelle is getting stronger with her kicks. Sometimes you can even see her moving around as my stomach shifts. My nephew Kyle came up with a cute nickname for her. He calls her my Annabelly.
We hope everyone is doing well. Have a great Thanksgiving!
