28 weeks tomorrow

Time is FLYING! I think I had better get a move on with preparing for this baby - my due date will be here before I know it! I am terrified that this baby will come early (no reason for me to worry) and I will have nothing ready, and Charlotte will still be in the baby's cot! So hoping to start on these things shortly:

Buy and pack some supplies for hospital,
Move Charlotte into her big bed in the other room,
Buy a new car seat and have them both installed.

If I can get these few things done, I will feel much more at ease!

Had my 28 week appointment the other day - with a different doc. Blood pressure is fine - fundal height where it should be - no swelling - he listened for bub's heartbeat with his stethoscope and bub gave him a huge kick! hahahaha. He also said that bub is laying on my left side 'there's more over that side than this side' LOL. Doc then typed up a referral for the GTT - will do that next week sometime. Just have to try and find a way to entertain Charlotte for the hour I have to wait between blood tests!

Feeling plenty of movements - no hiccups yet. Feel sorry for the poor bub - Charlotte is always pushing hands or elbows into my belly! Or trying to use it as a trampoline!

I can still wear my pre-(this)pregnancy jeans! Only I have to undo them when sitting in the car, as I don't like pressure on my belly. LOL Aaaand then have to remember to do them up again before going into shops!

Weight - I think it was last weekend - I had officially gained 200g. Was NOT happy LOL. Then on Sunday I had a killer headache, Monday a sore throat, Tuesday a sore throat and cold symptoms, Wednesday full on flu, Thursday full on flu, Today feeling slighty better. To top it all off, have had headaches and toothaches. So because of all of this I haven't had much of an appetite, can't smell real well, and can't taste. Today I ate nothing all day (just drank heaps of milk and cordial) - until 6:30pm when I thought I really must force myself to eat something for bub - so heated up the dinner I didn't eat last night! So this week I have dropped 3kgs! And am now 2.8kg under pre pregnancy weight - and guessing I may be down more tomorrow!

Weight last pregnancy - I found this in Charlotte's blog - "We (doc and I) also spoke about weight, and I said I had gained 5kg so far - and she said 'so you've actually lost weight'." So am doing pretty well so far!

Off to pop some pills (panadol and something for the sinuses) and head to bed!
