Wednesday we had our 32 week check up and the baby sounds great, my blood pressure is perfect ... and I am measuring at 34 centimeters!! (Shawnna you can't complain about being 28 cm!)
Because I am measuring 3 cm larger than I should (2 cm if you use the due date I am using of March 11th - either way, it means i am HUGE) we are going to have another ultrasound at Fletcher Allen to see how big this baby is!
Because my first glucose test (okay, can I just say how DISGUSTING that orange drink is!! I think if I actually liked orange soda, it wouldn't be so bad, but YUCK!!) a couple of weeks ago was so borderline (my level was 124 and the cutoff for having gestational diabetes is 125!), Katie decided that I needed to do the 3 hour glucose test.
For those of you who have not experienced this - LUCKY! But it meant I had to fast starting at midnight and my appointment for my first blood drawing was at 8:45 am. Then I had to drink another bottle of the orange stuff and wait an hour to have my blood drawn again.
The girls were both sick, and had an appointment at 9:30. Turns out, they both have strep! Then at 10 I had my blood drawn again and headed to my parents' house so the girls could rest, as I had to return to the doctors at 11 and again at 12 for more blood work. Did I mention I couldn't eat this whole time?!!?
I ended up getting out of the doctor's late, which meant I still had to take a shower and get the girls ready before leaving to go get Derrick, so I decided I would try and wait to eat (to make up for lost time).
Well, going that long without eating did a number on me, as I almost fainted. The sweat was dripping off my face and my shirt was so soaked that I had to dry it in the dryer. Fun times.
We dropped the girls off and then headed to Montreal for the Stars vs Canadiens game. Long day, but well worth it. Though Dallas lost, I got to see my favorite player - Mike Modano - play one last time ... and he scored his 550th goal!!
I am nervous about the results of the blood work from yesterday ... I never had gestational diabetes with either of the girls ...

Oh I can only imagine how dreadful the 3-hour test is. YUCK! I'm glad to see you passed and can't wait to hear about the U/S on Monday.
