28 week appointment

I had my 28 week appointment this morning. My glucose/gestational diabetes test was "perfect". I had the nurse practitioner, who I'm starting to not like. She's the one who messed up my due date before. And today, she tried doing it again. She noted the due date, looked at her date wheel and said I was 27w5d today. No... I'm 28w1d.

Heartbeat was good. She measured my belly and said that was good too, but didn't tell me what it was. No matter. My weight is still 4 lbs under my starting weight. On the way out, she told me that she is ordering another urine test because mine had some protein in it. Dr Dedelow was standing at the counter when she told me that and he asked her how far I was. She said 29 weeks! *sigh* He looked at the chart and said no, 28, so come back in 4 weeks. Oh, and stick around, drink some more water and we'll do the other urine test now. Ok, fine. I sat there and watched Oprah and waited. Finally had to go, did the test and left. After my next appointment, I'll have to go every other week till he comes.
