This is just a super quick update. My SIL is visiting with her 2 kids and I’ve been so busy with them and staying on top of client work so don’t have time to write very much, but just wanted to write a quick update. Also, I have been so bad at commenting on all of your posts this past week too. Please know, I’m still reading them and thinking about all of you!
Today, I’m 28 weeks 1 day and as of this past Thursday, I am the most pregnant I have ever been! We want little man to stay put until our c-section at 39 weeks, but what a relief it is to have made it this far and officially be in the third trimester 🙂 I was feeling a lot of emotion on Thursday, thinking about Holdon and thinking about all the events that led up to his emergency delivery and ultimately why he couldn’t survive, but I have also been feeling peace and hope for this new pregnancy and how different it is going this time. I know Holdon and my other angels are watching over us and I feel so incredibly blessed.
Other good news for the week, is we ended up having our check up with Dr. S on Friday instead of tomorrow because she got called into a surgery with another doctor for Monday so they asked me to come in early. It made me happy because we got to see little man 4 days sooner and I also got to get my one hour glucose test out of the way sooner and I think I passed! I haven’t gotten the confirmation from my doctor yet, but the results already posted to my online account and my score was 117 and the standard range is between 70 – 129, so it looks to me like I’m good! Phew! One less thing to worry about!
Everything else went well with the appointment. Baby boy measured 3lbs 4 oz which is ahead for 28 weeks. I asked Dr. S if we should be worried that he’s measuring too big and she said not at all. She said he’s still within the normal range so that is also a relief 🙂 My husband is 6’3″ and I’m 5’8″, so it’s not surprising that we would have a bigger baby.
That’s it for today. My baby shower is on Saturday. I will write more after the shower and post some pics 🙂
Sending everyone lots of love and thoughts and prayers. I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful weekend. <3
I wish my babies could be chunks like that, what a great weight!!!!
I know he really is a chunky monkey 🙂 Try not too worry too much about your little ones though. There’s two of them in there so there’s only so much room for them to grow! And I know Harper is measuring a bit small hon, but I am praying constantly that she’s just a little girl and doing just fine.
I’m just happy they can survive outside of the womb at this point – it makes all the difference in the world
Me too! But I’m still praying for you constantly that those two little ones stay put for as long as possible!
Yay for everything looking good!! And passing the glucose test!!
Thanks hon!
Yay i love these boringly normal updates from you!! Am sure everything will be as planned and in 11 weeka precise will be mr baby in your arms. Happy thanksgiving hon. I know you are canadian like me 🙂
Thanks so much hon! I don’t want to rush through this pregnancy, but I also can’t wait for those 11 weeks to go by! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Soooo happy things are going so well for you and baby!! 🙂
Thank you!

I am so very happy for you, and for reaching this important milestone. I hope you enjoy your shower.

Can’t wait to see the shower pics.

Thanks Dani. Blessings to you!
Such great news. Congrats on the big milestone and such a great weight!
Thanks hon! 🙂
Yay for 28 weeks! Stay put for another 11 weeks little guy!
🙂 Thanks hon!
Awesome! Big baby indeed! Did they mention the percentile??
Enjoy your baby shower!
She didn’t mention the percentile. I’m curious what it is! I’ll have to remember to as her at my next appointment in 2 weeks 🙂
Awesome good news!!! So proud of your little man for doing so well for Mommy. 🙂
🙂 Thanks hon. Hope you and little Owen are doing well!
Great news! Glad you don’t have to deal with the 3 hour glucose test! Baby boy seems to be doing just fine – can’t believe he’s over 3lbs already!
Thanks hon! I know I was shocked by his weight. I was worried it was too much, but thankfully my doctor thinks it’s just fine.
it is a great relief to hear that things are moving along nicely! Enjoy your baby shower!
Thanks hon <3
I am so happy for you two that your little man is doing so well, that you (very likely) don’t have GD and that you have family surrounding you right now. I’m sorry for the sad and tearful moments. Please know that Holdon is with you, holding *you* in those tender moments. This is going to be okay and he is so happy for you. We are *all* so happy and relieved for you.
Thanks hon I know he is 🙂 Thursday was hard, but I’m actually doing okay. My niece and nephew have been a very good distraction for me and my mom comes in on Wednesday. I can’t wait to see her!
I will be thinking about you tomorrow and sending all the positive energy I have and so many prayers!
I hope you had a fabulous shower and I can’t wait to read about it. Congratulations on passing your glucose test – one more hurdle out of the way!
Thanks hon <3 The shower is on Saturday. I will be sure to post some pics 🙂
I just found your blog and am so encouraged by how well your pregnancy is going! I’m about a month behind you with twin boys and am also praying for them to stay put for as long as possible! Hope the next 11 weeks fly by for you!
Thank you so much,and congratulations on your pregnancy too! Sending you and your boys prayers!
So pleased everything is going well – I knew it would! Have fun at your shower and remember the amazing quote “you can be scared and brave at the same time”. I think this sums up pregnancy after loss perfectly x
Such great news!!!!
I love that quote! It really does sum it up perfectly! Thanks hon <3
I wish I could send you a video of me doing a happy dance for ya! I’m very excited things are going well! Sending you some hugs and always praying 😉 xo
