Fortunately, I passed my glucose tolerance test with flying colors. Bring on the sodas and the chocolate cake!Well, ok, I'm not drinking many sodas and I'm certainly not eating chocolate cake. I'm trying to drink the 110 OUNCES of WATER EVERY DAY that the perinatologist's office suggests. So far, I've not been successful. I consistently drink 64oz 5 out of 7 days. I have a giant cup at work that I fill up with water and ice first thing in the morning...

So, I spent Monday morning feeling nauseous. I got to House O'Babies at 7:45 and drank the nasty orange drink at about 8:25. The phelbotomist got the first blood sample (a fasting one) right before I drank the glucola.For the next hour, I sipped on cold water, hoping I could stave off vomiting. This worked. I then got hit by Vampira again. This time, she went for the other arm, but found that the veins were too small and rolled way too much. She...

I just got a call from my OB/GYN office. I flunked the one hour glucose tolerance test. The range was up to 130 and I was 169. Sigh.I go Monday morning for the 4 hour test and I have to fast the night before.I'm still optimistic that everything is perfectly ok. I was just "off" that day. Everytime I've tested with Moo's glucose monitor it's been perfect, so until I'm told otherwise, I'll keep doing what I'm doi...

Had a great appointment yesterday.The OB/GYN practice that I go to has 9 doctors and 12 midwives. Midwives deliver about 90% of their babies so the practice encourages patients to meet as many of the midwives as possible before delivery day. So far, I've met 5 of the midwives and only 1 of them has been able to get a fetal heart beat with a doppler.Now to be honest, I met the first few when I first became pregnant and the heart beat was either...

I go back to the OB/GYN tomorrow for my 20 week appointment. The last time I was in the office, they told me they wanted to go ahead and schedule me for a 1 hour gestational diabetes scan for my next visit. What I failed to do and they failed to let me know was if I needed to fast before test.A thorough search of the Internets (you know the Internets - it's a series of TUBES, but it's also not a truck ) showed that in most cases fasting isn't necessary....

Just hours after posting the previous e-mail lambasting my lack of pregnancy symptoms, I felt a WHOOSH in my tummy. Afterwards, I've felt a few other movements including a very distinctive KICK that surprised me into silence. It's still a little early to feel the baby move a lot, but having felt some movement makes me feel better about the pregnancy.
This is one time that I really hate being fat - I can't really see that I'm pregnant... but I...
