For once I had a routine appointment! It was about time for one of those.
My weight is up 3 pounds since last month (finally!), so that makes me -12 for the pregnancy now.
When they tested me for sugar & protein, I was pegged at the worst color on the sugar test. So they ran a quick bloodsugar test on me. While we were waiting for the nurse with the bloodsugar kit to come in, my doctor asked me what I ate for breakfast. I sheepishly answered, "Crunch Berries." He said, "Really... Seriously? That's what my kids would eat!" I told him, "Hey, at least I'm eating!!" He said, "that's true!" (All this in a good-natured, joking tone of course!) He likes to tease me. So my bloodsugar came back 136. They said that was high but fine, as long as it was under 150. They just told me not to eat a breakfast like that before one of my appointments, especially next month before my glucose screen.
I asked him how likely I was to have Polyhydramnios again with this pregnancy. He said I have a 5-10% higher chance of getting it again. He said starting around 28 weeks they'll be watching me for signs. Basically he said I'll just get more ultrasounds than the normal patient.
Other than that, all is well! They handed me my bottle of orange Glucola to bring and drink for my next appointment and glucose test in a month! Can't believe I'm about halfway done...
I'm feeling quite a few of the baby's kicks now. I can't remember if I documented this "back then" but I started feeling them around 13.5 weeks. It's finally getting to be consistent enough that I'm feeling baby multiple times daily. Definitely the best part of pregnancy, I love it!
I've been busy over here working on Kate's Big Girl Room. We are going to move her in September, so in the mean time I've been planning and accessorizing. The biggest project is going to be painting my childhood dressers white. Not really looking forward to that! But I can't wait until the room is finished, it's going to be great! The pink, girly nursery I never got to do. :)
