I had a doctors appointment today. They had asked that I show up early and check in with the lab so I could start the Glucose Test. It's like a flat Sunkist or super-sugary kool-aid that you drink and an hour later they draw blood to screen for gestational diabetes. The lab nurse missed the vein on my left arm and had to try again on my right...... I looked like the walking wounded when I left. My blood pressure was good, but my weight was a little discouraging. :( They said I should be gaining about a pound a week.....well, I blew the scales out at 7lbs/4 weeks. I blame this on the Easter Bunny! I have no will power, so I will not hold myself accountable! :( The midwife told me today not to be concerned b/c I still have gained less weight up to this point than most people. The good news is is that the weather is starting to shape up so I can walk more......now if I could just get up out of the bed a little earlier to exercise and stay away from sugar, I might do alright! :) HAHAHA! Okay well for at least the rest of this week, b/c I will not make any promises while we are at Disney! We leave Saturday am, and will be back next Tuesday! (o:)3 Mickey, here we come!
Next appointment May 5th. I start going every two weeks now....we are getting closer!!!!!
