We had our 23 week appointment with the doctor today and everything seems to be going well. I'm measuring right, gained another 5 pounds (eek!), and his heartbeat is about 150 beats per minute. The next appointment is in a month and I have to do the dreaded 1 hour gestational diabetes test at least a week before. For those of you who don't know what this is, I have to fast for 3-4 hours before the test, drink a cup of this orange-flavored concoction called Glucola and have my blood drawn an hour later. Sounds easy, but I've heard that it can make many people nauseous.
The doctor told me to get as much done over the next 7 weeks as possible (as far as getting the baby's room ready and any other projects around the house) because she expects that I'll be feeling pretty rough again around 30 weeks. We have so much to do in the next 7 weeks...I need to go start a list!
After our next appointment, we will then start going every 2 weeks...and then every week...and then BABY! :)
Yes!!! I am still here! But moving to a new spot...
