Appointment Update

Well today was the day that I got to drink the over-sugary sweet orange beverage so they could test me for gestational diabetes. I was dreading this whole ordeal, but it wasn't so bad. You have to drink the drink, which is pure sugar, then they wait an hour before drawing your blood. I brought lots of stuff to read thinking it would take forever, but because the doctor herself was behind, I waited 30 minutes for her to come in; she spent about 15 minutes talking to me about when to tell if I need to go into the hospital; then they drew my blood 15 minutes later. Not so bad.
Kaylynn's heartbeat is strong - at 148 bpm and she's moving around a lot. OH, and the best part - I only gained the requisite 4 lbs, the doctor didn't comment about it or anything! I knew I liked my doctor. I go back in 4 weeks (at 30 weeks), then it's every two weeks after that. Time is going to start going very, very quickly - which is a good thing!
That is all. :)
