27 week appt

So, I passed my 3-hour test!! Woohoo!! I asked the nurse what the cutoff for the 1 hour was and she said 130 and my number was like, 160. Now, it seems that the cutoff number is different for like, every doctor's office. It's so ridiculous. Anyway, at least I passed, woohoo! The midwife also pulled out the tape measure for the first time to measure my belly! Neato! She said I'm measuring perfectly, and everything else is perfect too. I'd been a little anxious because the last few days the baby hasn't been all that active that I could tell. She said that because of the placement of my placenta (right up top, anterior), that this cushioned things quite a bit and I'd only feel the big ones, but they'd feel like thumps. She said it's normal for movement to still be erratic, which made me feel better. When she whipped out the doppler, I told her that the midwife at my last appt couldn't get a good heartbeat because of the crazy ninja moves my kid has, so she felt around and determined that the baby is on my left, so she pressed down on the right side of my belly and said "I'm gonna trap her." Hahaha... and then the baby kicked the doppler, which was hysterical. I go back again in 3 weeks and then I'm down to bi-weekly appointments once I hit 30weeks. Woohoooooooooooooo!!!!!
