28 weeks

hello third trimester!  it seemed like it took forever for jake to get here when i was pregnant with him.  but with allie, time is flying.  i had my 28 week check up yesterday along with the glucose test and rhogam shot.  dr. bradley said i am measuring right on track.  my belly measured exactly 28 centimeters.  my hemoglobin was 13.2 (which is great).  my blood pressure, of course, sky high.....thanks to my fear phobia of needles.  (i know you're thinking "why in the world are you pregnant if you are scared of needles?" oh the things you will do for your children!!!)  anyway,  let's move on to my 28 week update.
