So today I had my glucose test. I was actually kind of worried about it. I have had a bit of a large amount of weight gain during my pregnancy (bit is an understatement, I dont care how many people tell me I look good... the scale dont lie!) So I was a little concerned that I was going to fail it. I like my sweets.. what can I say!
So I woke up after a semi-sleepless night (again) and tried the lovely fruit punch flavored sugar. It honestly wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be. It burned a little bit going down, but I think thats because sugar things lately give me heart burn, but other than that it wasnt the worst thing ever!
I waited around for a while then headed to the doctors office. By the time I got there it started kicking in and I felt all jittery and icky. So they took my blood, checked me out, and sent me on my way. Babys heart is 145 bpm, Im measure big (surprise surprise) and I gained more weight (surprise surprise). So all in all, we are doing just fine! I guess I'm just going to have lots of work to do after this babe comes into the world to loose the weight I gained. Its a tad bit on the defeating side, and I really try not to let it bug me, but sometimes its just a little hard.
After the appointment was over I went home and tried to take a nap, but by that time the sugar had reached the baby and she was doing flips for about a half an hour... So I ate lunch instead.
I also got my hair cut this afternoon by a good friend of mine! I really just need something a little different, and lets me honest, who doesnt love going to the salon and getting someone to do your hair! It was great to catch up and feel pampered! She is having a little girl too just three weeks after I am, so its fun to talk about all our pregnancy troubles!
All in all it was a pretty successful day. I didnt get a call from the doctors office, so I am assuming that means I didnt fail. Thank goodness!
Now onto appointments every two weeks, and we have an ultra sound in 4 weeks. (which Zach will be home for!! I cant wait for him to see his little girl!!)
