27 week checkup

Tomorrow is 27 weeks so today I had a checkup. I had the glucose tolerance test and some blood drawn for a general workup. I think I've gained 6 pounds since 4 weeks ago - not a surprise considering the massive growth in that time. We heard the heartbeat, in the 140s. My belly measures at 27.5 weeks. I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions lately with even the slightest exertion, so I'm supposed to really rest for the next couple of weeks. Grr. There were two other women in the office in labor so we waited when she had to rush out to check on them. So exciting to think one of these days that will be us!
