Doctor's appointment was yesterday. I had to get up super early (7 am early) so I could be at Labcorp to do my glucose test. It wasn't as bad as I thought. They gave me this small bottle of orange flavored something that I had to drink in 5 minutes. Then I had to wait an hour before I could get my blood drawn. It didn't taste as bad as I'd heard it did. There was another girl there though who was a lot younger than me (she looked 13) who got a red one and halfway through it she ran to the bathroom. I'm not sure if she lost some of it or not. I don't think she did because they made her drink the rest of it and she was still waiting there when I left. *shrug*
But they said I was doing good. I should start to feel more movement since he's growing faster...which means I'll also get bigger. No problem though. They didn't say anything about my weight so I'm guessing I'm okay there and the nurse said my blood pressure looked good. It was really cute though because they have to count the heartbeats every visit so they use this heart monitor thing that pretty much goes on top of a blob of gel on my stomach. But when he put the monitor on my belly, almost instantly Ben started kicking it. He has pretty good aim too. He hit it at least twice. ^_^
On Tuesday I'm officially entering into my 3rd trimester. It won't be too long before he's here. I'm really excited!!
Hope you guys are doing good!
