On Monday I had my 28 week appointment. This was the dreaded appointment where I had to drink the gross non-carbonated orange soda. Seriously, its hard to not throw up after drinking that thing. I was really nervous this time because a) last time, I failed the first screening and b) since I was measuring big, I was nervous this time I actually had diabetes.
The first bit of good news was that I was actually measuring normal this week! I was measuring just under 30 cm, which is only like 2 cm big. That is considered normal. They said that she was probably just in a different position last time and they are not worried about her being big anymore. Yay!
As far as the glucose screening goes, I had to wait a little longer for the results because my insurance has to send my blood to a different location to get it processed. So for the last 4 days I have been worried that my results were going to be too high. I called yesterday for some reassurance but they must have been really busy because no one ever called me back. So I called again today and they said they'd call me back but then I looked online to see if the results were back and they were. I PASSED! Oh thank heavens! I couldn't be more excited. And not only did I pass, but the numbers were actually really good and not even close to the high limit. Must have been those yummy eggs I had for breakfast that morning! haha
Anyway, so now that things are looking back to normal, I can take a little breather and just enjoy the little girl kicks I get all day long! I'm pretty sure that is the best part of being pregnant! Now starts the every 2 week check ups. We are praying that everything continues to go well and little baby girl gets here safely! Can't wait (but we will) to see her!
oh good to hear!! that is a relief!!
