Third Trimester (Week 28)

I am so excited to be entering my third and final trimester. It doesn't seem like long ago when I felt as if it would be ages before I reached this point. We both feel our baby boy moving all the time now. I think he can recognize Dave's voice too as he often starts moving when Dave talks to him. I love it.

Dave and I went to our pre-natal appointment on Thursday and I am measuring the same, which was expected. She is going to order an ultrasound to take the baby's measurements, which is more accurate than just going off a tape measure on my belly. We saw a different doctor than last time and she didn't sound worried. She said I may just be having a large baby. Given that I was 11 lbs 2 1/2 oz. at birth, that doesn't surprise me. Hopefully baby Rumley won't be that big!! She said if a baby reaches 11lbs, they do mandatory c-section as there may be complications with him fitting out of the birth canal. Ouch!

We are going to continue to see that doctor going forward as it felt a lot less rushed than our other appointments. She even showed Dave how to use the Doppler and let him find the heartbeat.
