Yesterday I had my 28 week check-up which also included the Diabetes Test. Special Instructions are given for this test for accuracy. I was told not to eat anything for 2 hours before the test, and that I would be given this sweet drink in the office I would have to drink and then have blood drawn a hour after I finished. Chris was able to go to this appointment with me so it made the time go by nicely. As I sat in the lab and drank this "drink" Chris was watching me through this window, giving me thumbs up, and mouthing things like "You can do it", " Only a few more Sips", " Your almost done". I just gave him a "look"- Ya know the,"Your not helping things look", and took the final sip. It wasnt bad while drinking it, however it started to make me sick while I was in the exam room waiting on the Dr. I think hunger pains and that sweet orange drink did not mix well. Luckily I passed the test- No Diabetes for me. So it was all worth it.
I was seen by a different Dr. this time while mine is out on medical leave. His heart still sounds great, Weight check... Umm we won't go there, He was head down yesterday which was a change from last week, and I am measuring a week ahead now. I now start going to the Dr. every other week until 36 weeks, then weekly. As for now, I coudn't ask for anything more.... Well maybe some sleep!!!!
