27-week Photo

Here's the 27-week photo, with mother and child in Grandpa Ken's kitchen. Baby Woodruff got a taste of some (early) Thanksgiving treats, as the Peterson family celebrated at Grandpa Ken's house with some good eating ... all of the good stuff was there, but unfortunately, with BW taking up more and more space in Heather's tummy, mommy could only eat just a little at a time. But, it appears that little BW does like Thanksgiving-type foods ... mommy had a happy little baby that night.

And also this past week, on Friday morning, Heather had yet another appointment with Dr. Zawacki. The dreaded glucose test was not nearly as bad as anticipated; Heather only had to drink 12 ounces of sugary carbonated water. After drinking it, she then had her regular checkup. The doctor measured her belly and checked the baby's heartbeat (130 bpm). After a little wait, Heather had her blood drawn to check for anemia and glucose levels, although that required a couple pokes in the arm. Finally, it ended with one more poke, this time for the RH factor. Dr. Zawacki said that all was well with mother and child, and that the next appointment would be in 4 weeks.
