Doctor update

Just giving a quick update from my doctor's appointment yesterday. I had to go back in for that Glucose test - blek!! It was just as terrible as I remember! The doc told me last week that "oh you'll just drink a cup of a sweet drink," holding up her fingers showing the size of the cup around about the size of a Dixi cup. WRONG!! I go into the lab yesterday and she slides me a bottle about the size of coke bottle. *whimper*

"I have to drink ALL THIS?!" I say.

"Yes," the lab tech says very matter of factly.

"This is going to stink!"

Lab tech *laughs*

They put me in a room so I could lay down, after choking down the solution, and they also put the baby on a monitor to watch the heartbeat. It was nice to lay down during the test.

As for the other issue of why I was there, my blood pressure, the doc says she's not worried. My week long 3 times a day record looked good to her.... AND because I got to actually RELAX during this appointment, my BP was even fine while I was in her office. :) So no worries there! YAY!!! I was just asked to continue to monitor it once a day and record it for her to see but no need to do anything more.

I was so sick yesterday after the test. Thankfully I have a supportive husband to stay with me. :) I am supposed to call tomorrow (Friday) for my glucose test results. Hopefully everything turns out ok and we can go back to a happy worry-free pregnancy... if that's possible. ;) The doc was staying positive and for the first time mentioned my weight (bless her)... in a positive way. And said the fact that I havent gained any weight this pregnancy should help the results a lot. As much as I lament over my Frosty cravings, I'm sure glad fast food isnt so easy to find over here. :)
