Glucose Test #2
Today I had my 28 week check-up. Bradyns heartbeat was right on at 153bpm. My stomach/unterus measured at 30 but the doc said that is ok. See I find that really weird because sometimes it measures ahead, and sometimes it measures right on. Then he tells me, that I have gained too much weight, which again to me is weird. I have actually lost weight in areas!! In the beginning of all of this, I lost weight...like 8 pounds. So he tells me that I need to excersise and eat less. Ok, I can admit that on some days, I do probably eat alot, but on some days I dont. Its funny, I really dont eat all that much. I dont think I really have gained that much weight...I still wear the same underwear, and the same nike shorts I have been wearing the whole time on the couch! Ok, so I am not too concerned about it. So then he goes over my glucose test I took on Friday. Well appearantly, I need the numbers to be less than 140, mine...yup...you guessed it...158. So now, I have to go to a 3 hour glucose test tomorrow. He tells me that I might not have it, thats why I have to do this again. Ok, to me this is funny. No on in my family has ever had gestational diabetes...I dont even think any one has diabetes. So, I dont mind the juice, remember, tastes good! So, the next thing he tells me is to walk more...ok, let me get this straight...I am at risk for preclampsia with the high blood pressure, and preterm labor because I HAD bleeding...and now you want me to walk??? So, he decides for now, since my blood pressure is under control ( thanks to my meds and ofcourse God), he wants me to walk at night...not a lot, but just a little. Ok, last night we went to the pool, so maybe I will walk in the shallow end. Still excersise! I am now on a 2 week appointment schedule, which is awesome. I love going there and making sure everything is ok. I want my baby boy to be healthy and for me to be healthy! Lets just see here though...during this pregnancy I have had bleeding, been on bed rest, had high blood pressure, have Strep B virus, had to have an IV of meds for it, and became sensative to it, and now I might have gestational diabetes...I can get down, and htink why me...but God has blessed me with so much, that I can only take all of this and learn from it. So, next appointment, July 9th is with the high risk doc, and we get to see how Bradyn is growing! I cant wait for it. Bobs parents will be here too! oh yeah, and guess what...I dont have to be on bed rest right now..so another two weeks of me being able to go to the stores and stuff! Praying for 11 1/2 weeks of healthy pregnancy!

I love reading your blog today... Aren't doctors fun! HA! Make sure not to have anything besides that drink in the specified time frame... gum can change it! I had to do it twice once because I chewed some gum before my appointment! I had the opposite problem of exercising too much and not eating enough! ALthough, I got some pretty bad eating habits after being pregos... too much Ben & Jerry's! LOL! Maybe my kids were little piglets! Good luck with test #2!
