Had my Gestational Diabetes test today. It was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be (imagine that). The drink was not pleasant, but it was not as thick or sweet as everyone made it out to be. They also had it refrigerated which I think helped tremendously. The doctor said if I pass I won't hear from them (no news is good news) but if I fail I should get a call tomorrow. I do wish I had eaten more throughout the morning. I was starving to death which made me shaky and grumpy!
We had another ultrasound as well. I hope they got the images of the heart they needed, the tech certainly didn't focus on it as much as I thought she would. We kind of got to see him in 3D, although he was laying on his tummy with his head hidden in my hip. He also hasn't quite filled out yet so he still looked a little skeletony. She said my placenta and amniotic fluid look great and he is measuring exactly where he should be. His legs are still measuring long. His kicks and punches are also getting a lot more powerful! He kicked the Doppler when the nurse was trying to listen to his heartbeat.
I have an appointment in 4 weeks and then after that I'll start the every other week appointments. Now let's just hope I pass the GD test!
My life right now can't be placed into words...it is chaotic, stressful, emotional, sometimes wonderful...but this is my attempt at describing it.
