Happy Birthday to ME!

Today I had my "midterm" prenatal appointment. At nine in the morning (after fasting since midnight..ick) I went in for my glucose/gestational diabetes test. I had to drink this nasty orange drink, which usually isn't that bad...it tastes like a very sweet orange soda, but this time, it was FLAT! ICK! I had to gag that down, then went in for my appointment. My appointment went well. Blood pressure was higher than normal, but still within the "normal" range. I gained two pounds, which was VERY unexpected as I've been living on french fries and muffins lately. lol There was a trace of protein in one of my tests, which isn't anything to be worried about unless it happens continuously. Baby's heartbeat was 147 bpm, which is perfect. I'm measuring right on schedule and all is well! We went over when to go to the hospital, what to look for in regards to preterm labor and I got my preregistration sheet for the hospital, which I'm supposed to fill in and send in this week. After that is done, I'm all set to have the baby! Just ten (or twelve) more weeks! Woohooo!

After my appointment, I went and had my blood drawn for my gestational diabetes test (you have to wait one hour after drinking the drink) and she couldn't find my vein in my first arm and had to dig around for it, which made me almost puke because I had an empty stomach, but she found it right away on my other arm, so I made it through...just a little light headed. lol I'll find out those results on Monday, but I've never had a problem with my blood sugar (other than it being too low, which is exactly opposite of what they're looking for in regards to diabetes) so I'm not at all concerned.

So, that's about it for now! I'm loving feeling the baby kick. There are times that she keeps me up at night, but that's okay...she's just trying to prepare me for when she's actually here. lol Sera is LOVING me being pregnant. She's always talking about the baby and to the baby. I only hope she's this good when the baby is actually here. lol
