Glucose Test

Oh isn’t that a fun implement of legal torture. Actually the taste wasn’t as bad as I was expecting, but it still made me feel ill. I don’t think it helped that my blood preasure was way up while I was at my doctor appoinment yesterday. I was thinking about a meeting I had to go to at work and I clearly wasn’t looking forward to it. They had to have me lay down for a bit before taking my blood test, but other than that everything went swimmingly. Sophia was kicking up a storm - too much sugar? The doctor put the goopy stuff on my belly so we could hear her heart rate and she kicked at it several times as if it was a target. Her heart rate was a bit faster than usual too. Typically it’s at 144, but yesterday at the appointment it was 148. The doctor didn’t seem concerned, so I guess it’s still fine. My belly is still growing, my uterus is in the right place, and I only gained two pounds since my last appointment. I’m pretty happy about that. I think it’s only because I’m not as interested in eating due to all food including COTTAGE CHEESE causing me heartburn.

I swear my stomach is noticeably growing by the hour. This morning I left for work by going through our garage that is slowly being taken over by baby things and tried to squeeze between Kurt’s motorcycle and car. When that didn’t seem to work I did what the non-pregnant me would typically do and turned sideways…that didn’t have the effect I expected. Apparently I’m a cube now.
