I passed!

I passed the 3 hour glucose test...Thank you God!! I am so blessed! Now I'm going to go eat ice cream.

26 weeks

Sorry I don't have a picture for today...I've been sick in bed since I got home from my 3 hour glucose test so you don't even want to know what I look like...it's not pretty. The test was okay. the drink was much more sugary this time. I felt pretty sick for the first hour so after my first draw I asked to lay down and they had a nice little recovery room. That helped. I couldn't lay down for long because with my cold my head was so congested it began to hurt. I didn't want to take any meds this morning before the test because I didn't want to screw up the results. I'm glad I decided to stay home from work afterwards cause I got a nice nap and feel a little better. I haven't missed a day of work since being pregnant (thanks to no morning sickness) so I figured one day would be okay. The worst part was getting stuck with the needle so many times. The last time my blood was coming out so slowly it took forever. I was probably dehydrated some too. Well I'm going back to bed now. I'm hoping for no call from the Dr. that means I passed. Be praying I did!

I FAILED!!!

Nurse called...CBC was normal...glucose test was, "a little high". So I have to do the 3 hours one...I'm sure I'll pass that. I'm going to do it tomorrow. Pray for me!!!

Midwife appt 25 weeks 5 days

Well I got a call at 2pm yesterday saying my midwife was having an emergency root canal could they reschedule for today...I said no...I'd just see someone else. I'm so glad I did! I really liked the lady I saw. Plus I had already been eating no sugar for my glucose test and I didn't want to have to do it again today.

The glucose test was fine...the drink was not as bad as I thought...just like a cold orange melted otter pop...it was actually good. The blood draw wasn't too fun and hurt but oh well.
I thought I was going to get my Rhogam shot too but I guess I was just going to get the paperwork for it.

The new lady asked why I had come back so soon (only 2 weeks) and I said cause my midwife was going out of town and wanted to see me before she left...
She said she'd make my next appt 3 weeks so I'd be back on track at 28 weeks...the crazy thing is after this I will be going every 2 weeks! We are getting close to the end!

So stats....
BPM 130ish
Fundal height 26 (That's a 3 in growth in less than 2 weeks!)
Gained 2 lbs (in 2 weeks)
He kicks ALOT and I LOVE IT!

I also found out that my midwife works 6 weeks on 6 weeks off...didn't know this...DH thinks I should switch midwives...I really liked the one I saw yesterday...I might switch. It doesn't really matter because I don't know who will be on call when I deliver. The important thing is it will be a midwife and I won't have to see an OB.

Plans for the baby shower are coming along...the invites should be here this week.
The bedding came in yesterday!!! I LOVE it! I was planning on making it myself but decided that project was WAY more than I have time for. DH said to just buy it and save myself the hastle. (I LOVE HIM!)

I will post pictures of the room soon...it's almost done, just a few more things! I can't wait till my baby shower when I get everything else I need!

Midwife appt

Well after being there forever! We finally got to see a midwife..not mine, but another one who was very nice. They are usually not that behind schedule. Anyways...everything was great! I'm no longer on any restrictions as far as activities. The heart beat was 143 bpm and I am measuring right on track. Next time I have to get the Rhogam shot because we found out Ben is A+ and I'm 0-. I will also have to do the glucose test...yuck! But I'm glad everything is going well! Thank you Lord! Only two more days till 24 weeks!
