I have been meaning to post my monthly pregnancy update which is long overdue! I was going to post my 25 week update when I was about to turn 28 weeks pregnant but I figured, why not just wait after my 29 week check-up? Anyways, I have been beyond stressed and busy this past month and a half. With getting things ready for our new apartment, to getting things ready with the baby shower and the new baby. It has been rough! As I mentioned, I had my 25 week check up 4 weeks ago which included the fabulous glucose screening test! I have to admit, I was rather nervous to take the sugary drink. I hadn't been eating my best, and being overweight made me start to worry. On the day of my check up I had the worst anxiety! Please let me pass. Please let me pass! I remember thinking as I chugged down the sugary drink. After an hour of waiting, they drew my blood and I was off on my way home. The next couple of days were filled with anxiety for me. Do I have gestational diabetes? Is everything ok? Luckily, my tests came back normal and I was relieved to know that I in fact did not have gestational diabetes, but I did however, got diagnosed with anemia and was prescribed some pills to take with my prenatal vitamins. At my 29 week check up I began to get anxiety again! I haven't been feeling great since anemia gets you really exhausted. But of course, I let my hypochondria get the best of me and I was certain that I was getting preclampsia. My mom had preclampsia with my older sister so I had a feeling I would get it too. Thankfully, my blood pressure was great and I have no protein in my urine and little Penelope is doing fine. I don't know why lately I've been getting anxiety almost every single day. Is it the move? Preparing for a new baby? Both? All I know is that I need to relax. Which is something I'm working hard on! Let's Talk About Symptoms!
More About The Baby!![]() By now, Penelope is the size of an acorn squash. And if you're like me and have no idea what that is and how big that is, she is roughly 15 inches long from head to heal. She is finally starting to store fat under her skin which is causing her to become more energetic and her bones are hardening more and more each day. Even though her brain and lungs are still developing day by day, she has a great chance of surviving if she decided to join the world already. As much as I'd like to meet you, stay in there a little longer babe! XOXO, ThaliaComments are closed.
