I failed my one-hour glucose test so I took the three-hour one today. It's totally NO FUN. They drew my blood when I first arrived (on an empty stomach at 8am) and then gave me that weird orange sugary drink. Then they took blood every hour for the next three hours. That's right, FOUR different times they stuck a needle in me.
After no breakfast and lots of missing blood, I headed to the mall for some food and shopping. I love looking at baby clothes and buying things on clearance for super cheap.
Later this afternoon I had another doctor appointment. She told me that everything from our ultrasound looked good. Unfortunately, they didn't get a good look at his spine, so I get to have another ultrasound in two weeks. I'm excited about that.
I got "measured" for the first time today. I'm 22 weeks tomorrow and she said I was measuring right on track. I think its kind of weird that they don't have a more advanced way to do that. 2010 and we're still using a tape measure?
I asked her about the results of my one-hour glucose test and she said in order to pass I had to score less than 135. I scored 138, so that makes me feel more positive about the results of the three-hour one.
Bean as we call him still has no name. There are periodic discussions about names, but we haven't agreed on one yet. It'll come...
I have bought a few maternity items, but haven't committed to wearing them yet. They're really still too big, but the amount of my regular clothes that still fit is dwindling.
In conclusion to this random post, I will include pictures from the ultrasound.
And, my personal favorite:
