Pregnancy Update

Thought I would update everyone on the pregnancy. Today I had my 28 week appt. and as the doctor says "I am gaining weight nicely" - only in her world?! I honestly feel huge, who knew putting on socks every day would be such a challenge? That I guess is one benefit of pregnancy in the summer - flip flops and no socks. Dan and Katelynn came to my appt. with me today and Katelynn got to hear the baby's heartbeat. I honestly thought that she would be a little more excited about it, but Dan thinks that she maybe thought that she was going to get to see a picture or something of the baby instead of just listening to the machine. She did however try to measure me with a tape measure and listened to the baby's heartbeat with her dr. equipment when we got home. I had my glucose test done and all came out well, so that's good. The dr. did think that I am a little anemic so would like me to start taking some extra Iron and then let me know that when I do it might cause constipation and to take a stool softener - oh joy, just what I needed to hear and even worse if that happens. I have "officially" started my 3rd trimester now and am definitely ready to be done, let's finish the room and get this baby out before I get any bigger ( I know I am going to be a lot bigger than I was with Katelynn). Some good news is that Dan's mom is going to be coming out to stay and help us out for 2 weeks after the baby is born and then my mom will also be coming out for a week after her - I am looking for all the help I can get this time, no need to try and figure it out on my own, so anyone else who wants to come and stay and help out you are more than welcome!
