She is still a very healthy baby, and has had the hiccups everyday this last week, a sign that her central nervous system has fully developed.

28 weeks & finally in our 3rd Trimester!!!
We made it!! Entering into our 3rd Trimester is such a relief, but also a reminder that we only have 12 weeks before Camryn Reese is due to make her grand entrance into this world.
She is still a very healthy baby, and has had the hiccups everyday this last week, a sign that her central nervous system has fully developed.

Glucose Test & Kick Counts
We had our glucose test on Friday, and everything went well so far, blood results back within a week (unless everything looks normal, in which case Dr. Breedlove will tell me at my appointment on the March 25th, as we're now being seen every 2 weeks). The DREADED orange drink was not at all bad like everyone had warned, it tastes like an ice cold melted popsicle...I think maybe all of you previously pregnant woman complained enough about the last drink, so they made some changes for preggos like me! :)
In addition to the glucose screen, they also tested for anemia and HIV. The state law requires all pregnant woman be tested twice for HIV, once in the 1st trimester, and again in the 3rd (I was close enough to the 3rd, so my doctor was kind enough to test that day when I was already going to get pricked and prodded).
Dr. Breedlove had us start "Kick Counting" on a daily basis, which basically means that during any 60 minute period of the day I should be able to count a minimum of 6 movements from Camryn. It only took me about 30 seconds today before I was able to get all 6 out of her, she's a pretty active baby! Taylor was giving her kisses and saying "Good Morning", and then rested his head on my belly to listen to her heart when she started kicking him in the face! She responds the fastest to him talking and touching my belly, I'm pretty sure she's already a daddy's girl....and I know she already has him wrapped around her tiny little fingers!!!
We didn't take new belly pictures yet, but I'll try to have some posted by tomorrow evening! Love y'all! <3
