Good News

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!
