Today I had my 6 month check-up. They pushed it back two weeks, so that I could do my glucose test at the same time. My 7 month check-up is in two weeks, and then I start going every two weeks for check-ups. I can't believe I am almost in my third, and final, trimester! Wow, time sure has flown by!
The glucose test wasn't that bad. I had to drink this orange sugary liquid. The worst part was I had to drink the whole bottle in 5 minutes. Then I had to sit around the doctor's office for an hour until they could draw my blood. I will get the results later in the week. I hope I passed because a few of my friends had to take the 3 hour test, and it was not fun!
The doctor visit was very quick, like usual. She said my blood pressure and weight are right on track. I've gained 18 pounds, which seems like way too much to me, but she said it's normal at 26 weeks. It's a little scary I still have 14 more weeks to gain weight, aghhh!!! She measured my belly and said I'm measuring right where I need to be and the baby's heartbeat was 140, which is perfect!
After the doctor's appointment, I met Tom for lunch. It was nice to have that luxury during the day rather than trying to eat and get things done in 20 minutes before I have to pick up the kids from the lunchroom. Then I came home and relaxed with Riley. It was nice to relax mid-week. Only 7 more works days until Winter Vacation--wohoo!! After we get back in January, I only have 10 more weeks of school until baby is due! :) Craziness! Plus, that stretch is so busy with "FCAT prep" that I'm sure it will fly by!
