I had my 28 week appointment yesterday which also meant taking my glucose test. Friends who have gone through it and blogs I have read had me pretty terrified but honestly, it wasn't too bad. The drink was orange flavored and maybe since I'm such a sugar lover anyway, it wasn't too hard to get down. For those who know me well know my fear of needles so I was more stressed about having my blood drawn then the actual drink. I typically get flushed, turn white as a ghost and more times than not end up on the floor after having to deal with any sort of needle. I'm proud to say, I took it like a champ yesterday and was very surprised. I sat there afterwards waiting for the typical symptoms but thankfully they never came! People warned me that after going through a pregnancy I would be used to needles ... maybe I'm making some progress.
I start going back to the doctor every two weeks which seems a little excessive. It's hard to justify taking off so much work just to get my blood pressure and weight checked but I guess it's all part of the process. I'm getting a 4D sonogram done next Wednesday which I'm very excited about. We'll get a little sneak peak at what our little boy looks like :)
My pregnancy has flown by but thankfully I have enjoyed every minute of it!
