Pregnancy Update

We had another one of our epic doctor's appointments this week.  We are 28 weeks pregnant.

The doctors are so pleased! Our lil girl is growing right on target.  She weighs approximately 1008 grams. (2.5lbs) and is in the 50 percentile for growth.  Not only is she growing perfectly my body seems to be doing exactly what it should be.

After countless ultrasounds for this pregnancy one would think I would be used to them, not at all, I still get very nervous.  The nurse was doing her monitoring and measuring then became quiet, she was looking for breathing movements.  Her quietness lasted too long for my comfort and I started to sweat and panic.  I thought I was going to faint. My mind did not know what to process or what to do.  Everything was fine, the baby was just taking a rest.  I wonder if this is a sign of how anxious I will be when she is born?  The baby scored a perfect 8 out 8!

I think this was the first time in the pregnancy that I was really concerned for her.  My concern is a good sign that we are growing more and more attached.  After this last appointment I am ready for her to be on the outside where I can watch and double check she is still alive. 

These next few weeks are going to be long ones.
