Yesterday's appointment was supposed to be pretty quick, but it ended up taking a little bit longer than planned... First, I had to do the glucose screening test. That means I had to drink some really terrible tasting lemon-lime flavored sugar water. I chugged it as quickly as possible, so it wasn't too bad. Then, I had to wait an hour, have blood drawn, and see the doctor. The results of that test should be back in about 5 days.
When I met with the doctor, we heard the baby's heartbeat (still the best sound ever!) and he measured my belly for the first time. Turns out I am measuring 6 cm bigger than I should be!! He sent me for an ultrasound to see what was going on. The baby is perfect and right where he should be, but I am in the 95% for fluid in the placenta. Go figure..... It could have something to do with blood sugar, but we won't know until we get the results from the glucose screening test.
Other than that, everything was great! We got the most amazing picture of his face, and I think he looks just like Nathan :) My next appointment is September 24th, and we will do another ultrasound then. I can't believe how much he has grown and changed in the past month! I can't wait to see him again!
