At 27 weeks...

I finally went in and took the dreaded glucose test on Thursday.
FYI: I was sneaky & decided to take it at the END of the week so that I could have the weekend to eat whatever I wanted to if by chance the results were bad.
It's now Monday night...and I didn't hear from the dr's office all day today! Crossing my fingers that no news means good news... No gestational diabetes this pregnancy, please!

I can't believe that Friday will be my last monthly pre-natal appointment. After that, I see the dr. every 2 weeks. Can you believe how quickly this pregnancy has been? crazy!
In the last week or so, I seem to have...popped. My clothes are feeling kinda snug and I noticed that my tummy was peeking out of my shirt this weekend...thank goodness I had on a long camisole that covered it! Sorry, I'm not as brave as the pretty young thing that was at the dr's office the same time as I was --she had on a Ramones baby t that was obviously not a maternity shirt. She was 8 months pregnant with her belly hanging out. I tell ya, I get my entertainment at the dr's clinic every time I go. hehe!

ohhhhh! and finally, FINALLY! the ILs are gone! Hellz yah!

So does everyone have to get a gluctose test while pregnant? They sound awful!! Usually no news, does actually mean good news! I will cross my fingers :)

Holly -
Yep, you usually take the test at around 26 weeks...It is yucky, yucky gross!
They make you take it to make sure you don't have gestational diabetes...and if you do then you either go on a modified diet (like I did with T) or if it's really bad, you have to give yourself insulin shots. Not fun at all that gestational diabetes =(
I'd take morning sickness over gestational diabetes b/c MS eventually goes away...with GD, you can't eat what you want...and you have to remember to check your blood 2 hours after you eat....UGH!
