Baby Appointment

Just wanted to update everyone on our baby appointment today. This was our 28 week visit so I had some lab work including the gestational diabetes/glucose test done. The midwife was a bit concerned last appointment because I was measuring bigger than I should have been for 24 weeks and that can be a sign of gestational diabetes. This appointment, however, I was measuring right on target for 28 weeks. She said the discrepancy last appointment could have come from how the baby was positioned. Besides the glucose test I also had some labs drawn for antibodies and hemoglobin. All of the results should be back on Tuesday but she doesn't think any of them will come back abnormal.
We of course heard the baby's heartbeat, well when s/he would stop moving around long enough! The baby has been very active. Last night Andrew read the baby Harold and the Purple Crayon and baby wouldn't calm down for about ten minutes after the story!! I think baby was so excited about the book and can't wait to get it's own purple crayon after s/he's born!
Andrew and I have a big day tomorrow, though. We have our Labor and Delivery class at the hospital from 9-4. A whole day of learning about our peanut!
That's all for now. We hope everyone has a great weekend!
PS. Since we haven't posed any pictures in awhile, here is a picture of Lily in her Halloween costume!! We were very surprised that she allowed her horns to stay on. She's not normally a fan of anything on her head!
