Glucose testing

Let me start by saying--EW GROSS! I had my glucose tolerance test yesterday...for anyone who doesn't know what that is, they give you a bottle of 50% dextrose solution to drink in 5 minutes (mine was orange flavored) and an hour later they draw bloodwork to see how your body reacts to the sugar buzz. If it comes back abnormal, then you have to schedule a 3-hour test...I'm guessing since it's 1:00pm and I haven't heard anything that I passed with no problems!
Yesterday's appt was interesting because the baby's HR was the highest it's ever been 155...could have been from the crazy sugar stuff I had to drink though. I'll be anxious to see what it is next month just for comparison. I'm still measuring big--and actually the baby's head is very low and "in position" according to my OB. Of course that doesn't mean it can't flip around and such, but she said he/she is very very low. That must be what all the lower pelvic pressure I'm feeling is. Talk about uncomfortable--and it's only going to get worse! She also told me yesterday that she'd be surprised if I made it to my due date...she's betting the first week of October will be D-day! So we'll see...we'll just have to make sure baby central is all set up and ready to go nice and early--just in case! Otherwise all is well. Nothing new or big to report. I'm hoping to get another ultrasound tonight at work...one of the girls told me to come see her around 28w so she could play with the 3D/4D...so hopefully we're not busy tonight and I can go see her! I can't wait to post those pictures!
Oh, and I only have one more monthly appt left (in August) and then I start every two weeks through September...EEEK! This really is coming quickly!

Weekly Wisdom: The best advice I got this week from someone was, "After the baby is born, make a point of showering and getting dressed EVERYDAY because you WILL feel much better about yourself!" And remember, "babies are allowed to cry."
