I had my glucose screening today, another first in my first pregnancy (and therefore, I must document). I was afraid to eat anything sugary since last night so all I ate before my afternoon appointment was a bagel with cream cheese, orange juice, and a Luna bar for lunch. When I got to my appointment, they had me drink a small bottle of orange flavored glucose drink, which everyone says is nasty but I thought it was actually kind of good...sweet, like Orange Crush soda. An hour later, I got my blood drawn then went in for my regular prenatal appointment.
I have actually gained some weight! This is kind of exciting for me because I have never weighed this much in my life and it means that Baby Jake is growing just fine. I'm still pretty small for 6 months but I am not going to complain about that. I heard the baby's heartbeat, which is always music to my ears. Next door, there was a baby crying loudly and my doctor said, "you're getting a preview here huh? Of what it's like to be a mom?" I smiled and said , "yes." I can't wait!
