Update

27 Weeks

I went to Dr. Hebb's today for another prenatal appointment. All is well. The good news is that I didn't gain any weight since my appointment two weeks ago. And in total, I gained 3 lbs in 5 weeks. So, go me! My blood pressure was also normal. Dr. H took my fundal height measurements for the first time this pregnancy, now that I'm officially in my third trimester. The baby was measuring 29 weeks, even though I'm only at 27 weeks. She said not to read too much into it. Fundal height measuring isn't an exact science.

I also asked about whether or not I could expect another early delivery. I had Vicente about a week early, and since this is my second, I figured that odds were higher that I'd deliver early. She told me there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to when babies come, so I shouldn't expect anything. My next appointment is three weeks from now,. I'll be 30 weeks. After that, they want to see me every two weeks until the end. Things are really starting to speed up!

I also took my glucose screening test today. That orange liquid is so nasty. I have to wait a few days for the results, but hoping they come back negative. I know they also tested my platelet count, which I'm anxious to see as well. About an hour ago, or three hours after I drank the fluid, I started to feel pretty sick. I was shaky and nauseated. So, I decided to run to Chick-fila and grub down on a chocolate shake, a large fry, and a spicy chicken sandwich. It was a good call. I feel amazing now. And fat. :)
