Yippee! I passed the first glucose test! The liquid taste ok, like orange soda, but I started feeling nauseous after about 30 mins. and I couldn't wait for it to be over! I am so thankful that I don't have to take the second test! That is pretty rare! I have been so nervous. I heard horror stories from friends that threw up the nasty double strength liquid that they make you drink after fasting and then you have to sit and get blood drawn every hour for 3 hours! I had the tests done this morning, before my appointment and my results were back in a few hours. My nurse midwife is a doll. She said my iron levels and glucose levels were fine. Yeah! I asked her to make sure the baby is normal size because everyone tells me that I don't even look pregnant. I gained 19 lbs already, I certainly didn't look like this before, so I don't know why people say they can't tell! I guess I am just tall so it doesn't show as much. It turns out that the baby is perfect size and I am right on target to gain the recommended healthy amount of weight, so she told me not to worry. The third trimester is here, so we are in the home stretch! Baby MahMcCue will make her appearance at the end of summer! Can you believe it?
I've been feeling ok except for the itchy skin, sinus problems, moodiness & occasional stress headaches. I am ready for it to be over though. I really want to go shopping for cute normal clothes! I miss shopping in Europe on layovers! I guess those days are over, I'll be shopping for baby from now on. ;o)-
