27 Week appointment update

I have to be honest. I was dreading today's appointment. Not only was I having my 1 hour glucose test, but I had to bring Mini Me to that very long experience.

For those of you who aren't familiar with what that means, let me explain:

My appointment with my midwife was scheduled for 8:40. Before I could see her, I had to check in and go across the lobby to the lab and get this orange flavored drink, which basically tastes like flat orange soda, drink it within 5 minutes and have the time noted on a chart. Then, I got to go see my midwife....at 9am. OK, so Mini Me has already put up with being at the office for 30 minutes at this point, so the fact that she was still in a great mood was...exciting.

Highlights from the appointment:
Weight 165
BP 106/68
Baby is measuring right on track, heartbeat is strong, and she is head down. Yay!

Mini Me got to "help" hold the probe while they were listening to the heartbeat. That was sweet.

After the appointment, we got to sit in the waiting room for almost 40 minutes, waiting for my hour to be up so that I could have my blood drawn. Mini me was a trooper. She did SO well, and I was able to get the blood work done and get her back in the car, at 10am without incident.

Yay for Mini Me deciding to have a good cooperative day! On the way inside, she decided she wasn't going to go up the stairs at home and needed to be carried against her will. Once she got inside and had a snack, all was right with the world again.

All in all, today went MUCH better than I had anticipated. I don't have the results of the test yet, so I am going to continue to pig out on sweets until further notice...just in case I receive a phone call in the near future informing me that I am banned from sugary goodness. Let's hope that call never comes, shall we? Because that will make for one very cranky mommy for the next 13 weeks....
