7 months pregnant!

Yep, that's right folks.....7 months! I just hit the 28 week mark today which puts me in the third trimester. So far the pregnancy has been uneventful, which is a really good thing. I am having a textbook pregnancy and I don't think it could really be going any better. Today I had a doctor appointment. At this one they test for Gestational Diabetes and Anemia. They test your glucose levels by having you drink a really sugary drink and then they draw your blood for testing an hour later. Mine was orange flavored, same as with Carter, and it was very gross, same as last time. I got to choose from a few different kinds, but tropical punch and cola didn't sound very appealing. Hopefully the results come in tomorrow and everything looks good. The doctor also said I am measuring perfect, my belly that is, and I have gained 5 pounds so far. Now we start seeing the doctor every 2 weeks for the next 2 months.

In other news, Carter is becoming a funny little character. He is very smart too, he tries to say all kinds of words. He mostly just gets the number of syllables out, but he tries really hard to get the right sounds of the word too. He also is very good at pointing out his nose, mouth, tongue, teeth, eyes, hair, toes, fingers, and ears. He is doing well with his new in home daycare, I do think he misses all the interaction with the kids he used to be around. It would be typical to have 5-10 toddlers in the same room at his old daycare, so he would have a lot of kids his age. I guess it's just something he has to adjust to.

We hope everyone is enjoying these lazy dog days of summer! Take advantage of the nice hot weather while you can! :)
