Doctor's Report

Like I mentioned earlier, I had an appt. with my O.B. this afternoon. I also had my sugar test. I drank my glucola and within about five minutes felt sick. I had this test (only it was 5-6 hour one) back in college to test for hypoglycemia (which I had). I got horribly sick that time. This time, I felt sick, but never threw up. Praise Jesus. Anyway, the drink wasn't as disgusting as it was then either. Still not good, mind you, but not nearly as bad either. They also did a blood count to check for anemia and another antibodies test. I should have results tomorrow or Friday.

I weighed in. My goal was no more than 4 lbs gained. Last time I'd gained 8! Yikes. Turns out I gained 6 this time. Not as good as I hoped but better at least. Dr. A said I'm measuring right in line with where I should be too so no need to worry about a super early or jumbo-size baby quite yet. =) 

My bp was a stellar 116 over 60-something and baby's heart rate was 140 - just like it has been the past several visits.

Dac went with me and I took a long list of typed out questions. We pulled out the list and Dr. A laughed, called me super organized, and went on with it. She just shakes her head at me. =) She no doubt LOVES me and sat there answering every single one of my questions like she had all the time in the world (as usual) and she gave me lots of other info too. I feel good  having got all that out. She answered questions about delivery, etc... much like I expected her too... but it was good to have it confirmed and know where she stands on things and vice versa.

We left with orders for flu and whooping cough vaccines and an extra vitamin for baby's eye and brain development. 

SO - for now, we wait on test results. If all is well, I go back in 3 weeks. Good golly miss molly, time is flying.
