Nicky and I went to see Dr. Kerpelman for my 28-week OB visit. It was pretty uneventful; my glucose test was negative, so I don’t have gestational diabetes. My blood pressure was good, and we heard the baby’s heartbeat. I’ve gained about 35 pounds, yikes, but I’m trying not to freak out about it because the weight gain slows down in the last trimester, thank goodness! I gained 30 pounds with Nicky and then lost about 25 after I lost the baby weight, so I started much lower this time. Nobody at my doctor’s office seems worried, so I won’t, either. I’m now up to visits every two weeks instead of every month.
Nicky is obsessed with “Puff, the Magic Dragon” lately. My mom got him a beautifully illustrated hardcover book with a CD for Easter, and he’s loved it for a while. I just got out the CD a few days ago, and he wants to keep listening to it over and over and OVER. Not that I don’t love Peter, Paul and Mary, but it’s starting to get a little bit old.
Tonight before bed, Nicky said, “I have an idea” and we asked what it was. “Wanna read ‘Puff, the Magic Dragon’!” Imagine that…
