Doctor's Appointment

Yesterday I had my 24 week check-up. I was supposed to see the doctor, but they screwed up the schedule and I saw the nurse practitioner instead. She's not my favorite, but it went alright. They said that I should see the doctor for the rest of my appointments and I'm going to make sure that I do. I had the glucose test that tests for gestational diabetes. I had to drink this sugary orange liquid, wait an hour, and then have blood drawn. I had heard that the drink was terrible and very difficult to drink, but I didn't think it was that bad. It really just tasted like very sugary orange soda. The worst part was drawing the blood. They didn't get enough from the first arm, so they had to take more from the other. Really not a big deal, but I hate having blood drawn! I'm just not very good at it. But I got the test results back today and everything was just fine. They also weighed me and though I'm not going to post (for all of the world to see) the exact weight, you can believe it was plenty. I was a little shocked to see the scale go up so high! She said it's not too much, but I was still a little taken aback by the number.

The best news from the appointment was that they scheduled a 3rd ultrasound for 4 weeks from now. Nothing is wrong, it's just that in the last ultrasound Raisin was curled up and they couldn't get a good enough picture of his heart. So they want to do another to make sure that all is well.

Alright, well that's all for now. I'm having some heartburn from dinner that I need to try to remedy. Good night!
