Glucose Test

Okay, so I took my glucose test for gestational diabetes today. Honestly, that orange, sugary drink they give you before they draw your blood is not that bad. Granted it didn't taste good, but I wasn't gagging or having trouble keeping it down. It tasted like that orange Hi-C drink you can get at fast food restaurants, only with more sugar. The sugar rush made Tristan kick like crazy. LOL!

My appointment went well today. I was in there longer than expected because my OB had a patient go into labor, but it's all good. Tristan's heart rate is at 150 BPM which is great. I have only gained four pounds since my last visit. Woo hoo!

The doctor pressed on my belly to measure Tristan and he is totally balled up on my left side. LOL! She didn't seem too concerned. She said that he'll gradually move more towards the center as he gets bigger. I guess he just prefers to hang out on the left side of my body for some reason.

Anyway, everything still looks great and normal so far. Now I just need to wait for my results. Hopefully I pass. =)
