Today's a big day

Today, we get to see Jacob Staley Bumm - well, only via an ultrasound but I'm excited either way. My understanding (from parenting.com) is that he now weighs about 3 pounds. I was a little disappointed, I hoped that maybe the 22 extra pounds I'm carrying around were all baby but, I digress.

We, also, look to see if I have placenta previa - if so, they will schedule a C-section.

Finally the doctors check to make sure that I don't have gestational diabetes. In order to check for GD, I get to drink this lovely orange stuff and then they take my blood. Oh the joys!

I've been awaiting this appointment for most of the pregnancy. It's odd to me that it's arrived so quickly and quietly. From this point on, we will be seeing the doctors every 2 weeks. It's starting to feel very real.
