Our baby is getting bigger!
On Monday I had my 25 week appointment and it went great! My original OB/GYN retired this week (sad) so I switched to my new doctor as of yesterday. I went off of my doctor's recommendations as well as a few of my friends and I am glad I did because he is great. He is rather perky, but very informative and takes the time to answer any and all of my questions. Baby boy's heartbeat sounded great at a steady 145 bpm and I am measuring 24 cm (about 1 cm smaller than I should be, but I'm sure that I'll catch up). My next appointment will be my glucose test...I just can't wait...blah! I hate orange flavored ANYTHING and my gag reflexes are AMAZINGLY SENSITIVE so we'll see how that goes!
After my next appointment I'll be going to visit the doctor every two weeks! That sounds so crazy because it just means we are getting so close to him finally being here! 15 weeks to go!
When I was pregnant with Todd in Korea, they were all out of the glucose drink. So she handed me a 16oz cup FULL of skittles and told me I had 15 minutes to eat the entire cup. For most people that would have been no big deal, maybe even preferred over the yucky drink, but I could not eat ANYTHING sugary during my pregnancy. The smell of it was enough to make me HURL! I've never struggled so hard to keep something down in my life. The second my blood was drawn, up they came! ;) I haven't been able to eat skittles since.
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK with drinking your icky orange sugar! Hope all goes well. :)
