Keep Doing What You're Doing......

Nothing really new to report. I failed my original Glucose Tolerance test and they sent me to the hospital to take the 3 hour test. I had read that a lot of women fail the one hour test and then go on to pass the 3 hour, so I wasn't that worried.

The drink for the 3 hour test was actually much better than the 1 hour test, so I was happy about that. The only pain in the butt was that I spent four hours at the hospital and had my blood drawn numerous times. It really was pretty painless though, and the OB said I passed the test with flying colors and my levels were no where near having Gestational Diabetes. Yay!

I had another OB appointment on Monday and it was more of the same. The OB said he'll continue to see me every two weeks until I have a month left, and then he'll start seeing me every week. I go back in 2 weeks and they'll do my Beta Strep test at that appointment. The OB said this continues to be a super easy pregnancy and to keep doing what I'm doing. I feel really lucky that this pregnancy has gone so smoothly. I still feel great and I'm moving around with ease. I sleep straight through the night and my hormones are completely normal. I'm a happy pregnant girl! :) If it wasn't for this beach ball in front of me, I wouldn't even know that I'm pregnant. She really does look like a beach ball at this point too. Totally round and located smack dab in the middle. I hope she doesn't drop until the very last moment because I kind of like how she looks right now.

This Saturday we'll be moving into our rental house so that the builders can start the renovation on our house! Which means this Saturday evening I'll be starting on the nursery. So excited! I'll be sure to post pics when it's all finished.

  1. WOW time flew. You're moving already. How long is construction expected to last?

  2. I know, I can't believe we're already moving! Construction should take about a year. Hopefully no longer than that!
