Doctor's Visit No. 8

Yesterday was the much anticipated (sarcasm) Dr.'s appointment - the one where I have to drink pure sugar in five minutes - ick! The drink itself wasn't too bad, but the coming down off of the sugar and the after taste was nauseating! I'll find out tomorrow if I have gestational diabetes or not...I'm saying a little prayer! I've gained another 3 pounds (sigh), at least it wasn't eight this time! I'm trying to eat better and I've been walking a couple of nights a week! Hopefully the walking will become more frequent now that school is almost out. My doctor informed us that Annabelle is actually a little bit on the big side. She is 3 lbs 6 oz which puts her in about the 70th percentile for her size. So now, I'm mentally preparing myself for an 8 or 9 pound baby which I didn't think I would have, but I can't complain as long as she is healthy! We did have another sonogram yesterday and Annabelle put on a little bit of a show. When the sono tech was showing us her face, Annabelle looked over and stuck her tongue out at us! It was too funny! I think Austin and I are in for it - she's already giving us attitude - lol! Overall a good visit and I'm thankful for my health and big baby! :0)

oh i hated that sugar stuff! blech! i am truly sorry you just did that. my first test came back border line, so they made me do it again. except the second time i got to drink twice as much sugar drink. and give twice as much blood. yay... i definitely cried about that. :) i hope your results are good! i am glad annabelle is healthy. big babies are cute. i love their rolls. mine came out small, but didn't take long to fatten up.

If it makes you feel any better, I gained 5 1/2 pounds in 2 weeks. OOPS! I guess all those ice cream sandwiches aren't as good for me as I had hoped! :o)
