Twenty Five Weeks and Four Days
Today is the birth of McKenna's Blog. I am currently 25 weeks and 4 days in with 101 days to go. That's 14 weeks and 3 days till my due date. McKenna Renea Peterson is due to arrive January 15th, 2006.
My last doctors appointment was on Monday. I have gained 15 lbs. Her heartbeat was 155 beats per minute.
Sometime next during the week of the 17th, I have my RhoGAM Shot. This shot is for mothers with RH negative blood. They give this shot because if the baby's blood is positive my body might think it is a foriegn object and attempt to get rid of it. This shot tricks the body into thinking that it is ok.
The week of the 17th I also need do my gluclose testing... YUCKY! I have to drink this sweet liquid and then in an hour they draw my blood. If I fail... they torture me! LOL! I will then have to go back and do a three hour testing. During this test I have to go there with an empty stomach and drink several bottles of the sweet gluclose stuff. Between this time they make you urinate in a cup serval times and they take your blood several times. Let just say by the end you are shaking and starving. The trick to the test, my midwife says, is to eat a bunch of protien and NO CARBS!
McKenna is a fire craker! She is constantly in motion treating my insides as a punching bag. Michael loves to play the guitar for her. It soothes her into a lulliby I believe.
Katielyn doesn't quite understand yet. She lifts her shirt and show everyone her baby in her belly. It's really cute. I think she will be a good big sister!
Well my family is starving and I need to feed them and myself. Till next week!
