Doctor Appointment
Today was my 26 week check up and I had to take my gestational diabetes test. For those of you that don't know, you have to drink a bottle of orange sugar drink. It is awful, awful, awful...did I mention it is awful! I wasn't looking forward to it at all so I made my appointment for 9am, which meant that the only thing I could have this morning was water...yuck! They give you 5 minutes to drink this nasty stuff, which seems like a long time but when every swallow feels as if it is coming up instead of going down(sorry but that is really how it was) it is a very short time! The lady that was watching me drink this bottle of nasty, saw that I getting pale and hot....so she told me that if I did get sick, I would have to drink another bottle. At this point I made a deal with Colton...it went something like this....Please oh Please baby boy we have to keep this down and once we get done Mommy will go get you something yummy to eat! We managed to keep it down and get the bloodwork done exactly one hour after drinking the bottle of nasty and we were free to go! I also saw the doctor while waiting to have my blood drawn, Colton measured exactly where he should and his heartbeat today was 140bpm and sounded perfect! He is also on my sciatic nerve which makes my leg hurt very badly, doctor informed me of a couple of exercises to try to get him to move around some to relieve some pressure. When I got ready to make my next appointment she told me that I would come back in two weeks! I can't believe that I am already at the point where I have to go every two weeks. I know that June 6th seems forever away but it seems like it is coming really fast to me....I guess because I still have a LOT to do! I have ordered his bedding and cleaned out most of Gracie's clothes and moved them to boxes or to her new room, so I am getting there. I can't wait to get his bedding to put it all in the right place!
