I had my 2 hour glucose test Monday. It was a lenghty test. I had to follow a 3 day diet of carbs and cookies. Nice diet, eh?! Then I had to fast Sunday night through Monday morning. I had blood drawn, then drank the sugary orange glucose drink. After 1 hour I had my blood drawn again. Then at the 2 hour mark, a final blood draw. Today I had my weekly check up. I was nervous, yet hoping the results were good. And as you can see from the header, I PASSED!! Such a relief :) I may have a glucose intolerance sometimes, but not the dreaded gestational diabetes that can occur in pregnancy. I had it with Breeanna and it was not fun. Anyways... I was told to eat whatever I want and enjoy the remainder of my pregnancy! My blood pressure was perfect, traces of nothing in my urine sample, and I gained a 1/2 pound. The doctor listened to baby for a while, and described what we were hearing. The heartbeat (which was 140 beats per minute), sloshing around from his movement as well as him mimicking breathing. What an amazing thing! I now dont see my regular doctor until after the baby is born. I start seeing my new ob/gyn in the New Year. So hopefully, the next 6.5 weeks, are smooth! Thank you all for your support and listening to me :) And if I dont share again within the next few days...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
