Another Dr Visit, but I'm Losing My Mind.
I had my next doctors appointment last week. We scheduled my glucose test so I pretty spent most of the morning in the clinic. I had a good book with me, but the office was bustling because there was also a health fair going on where people could come in for blood work for a minimal price. Anyway, I chugged my drink and waited for the hour. During that time, two nurses came to get me to watch some videos. For the last two children I declined because I had seen them already and honestly there is nothing in the videos that I don't already know. Well anyway, they had some new ones and I was to watch them. I respectfully declined, but I think I surprised one nurse. I don't think she was expecting to hear a no. Anyway, I had to sign a paper stating I was declining the video. The videos were about newborn screening, vaccines, and shaken baby.

Me at 23 weeks. |
So after a bit they took me back. The highlight of the day was when I stepped onto that scale. That's right. I was happy to see that number. It was the same as it was four weeks prior. To date, I have gained only 5 pounds. My bp was a bit high 142/75 but after 5 minutes or so the nurse took it again and it was 125/74, so that was better. The doctor came in and here is where I realized I have totally lost my mind. He sat down looked at my chart and he said that we are at week 25. Really? I said I thought it was more like 27 weeks. Um nope. That day marked the first day of week 25. And here I had been telling everyone that I was at 27 weeks! Now, that's just two weeks difference, but two weeks means a lot when it comes to a growing baby in the womb! I'm just hoping that we did not do the glucose test too soon. Heartbeat was fantastic at 159.
So now we wait another 4 weeks when I will be 29 weeks. Dude, I really feel like this pregnancy is just crawling!
