"SAY 30 Weeks"Since we are in the third trimester, we go to the doctor every two weeks now--WOW, that's a lot of going to the doctor for two people (Matthew and I) that may go once a year otherwise!! So, last week I went to the Doctor for my Glucose Tolerance/Screening Test (click if you do not know what that is) and you have to drink 50 grams of glucose. People told me it is horrible, but it was a BREEZE. So all of my friends and family out there who do not have kids yet---trust me, its not bad. Just ask for ORANGE flavor and CHUG IT without taking a breath. It's easy, I borderline enjoyed it. Nothing showed up in the test and the the doctor said everything is "perfect" and "right on schedule and target"--measurements, weight, heartbeat....everything was good. I go again on Wednesday, January 20.
The only pregnancy symptoms (other than the growing tummy) at this point are:
- Tiredness: I am back to the first trimester tiredness. However, this might be because I do not sleep through the night and because I am not good at relaxing :)
- Kicks and Movement: Every now and then the baby will be moving around or kicking so hard it is painful. Now, when I say painful I mean it lasts like a second, so its nothing really. BUT, for all my wonderful friends and family who do not have kids yet---I just like to shoot you straight. I am incapable of not being honest. I don't really mind this because it reminds me that "Blessing" is doing well.
- Emotions: I will be first to admit, this one surprised me!! For those of you planning to have kids one day, just be prepared to be sensitive---and prepare your husbands too. I am lucky though because Matthew is wonderful--supportive, loving, patient, kind...I could go on, but some of you might vomit if I continue.
Just a glimpse of what our lives will look like between baby feeding/wake time and nap time! Cute huh?
Hi Kelly, I don't know if you remember me, but we met at Henry and Krista's wedding. I've been reading your blog since I found it off of Krista's blog. I'm 27 1/2 weeks pregnant and I go in for my glucose test next week. I've heard bad things about it too, so I'm glad that you said it wasn't that bad. I already have the orange drink so I should be good to go!
ReplyDeleteI'll look for you on FB too!
