Rainy Day, Doctor's Appointment

It's a dreary day here in NC. Winter weather advisory this a.m. Of course it turned out to be nothing. Sure wish I could get paid to be wrong all the time (aka weather forecasters). Anyway, had to drive to my doc. appt. in the rain. Fun fun. I just love driving I-40 in heavy rain. People can't drive!!

Anyway, on to my doc. appt. It was the one where they test for gestational diabetes. So after the usual weighing in (my personal favorite- yeah right), peeing in the cup and taking the blood pressure, I had to drink a very large amount of this syrupy fruit punch flavored drink. Kind of reminded me of the red freezer pops. Then I had to sit an hour before they drew my blood and off I went. Actually in the meanwhile I did see the doctor. He measured me and I am measuring 27 inches, which he said is good considering I'm 26 weeks. Not to big not too small. He did ask if I feel the baby move everyday. Um yeah- that's an understatement. She's doing olympic gymnastics moves in there buddy! I'd say yes, I can feel her move. Her heart rate was strong and steady. So everything was fine.

My next appt. is on Feb. 13 and they'll be able to do a 3D ultrasound. I'm super psyched about that! Bradley will be joining me for that. And I get to see Dr. Martin. She's my favorite. I want her to deliver my baby. She's the one that told me by my 7th month she can tell if I'll have to have a c-section. Well... I'll be 7mts. at my next appt. and it's with her. So I feel it's a good thing.

Tomorrow Bradley and I are off to VA to visit Steph & Tony!!
