28 Weeks

Had the 1 hour Glucose test today, pretty painless overall. I remember reacting badly to the liquid they give you, when I was in HS and had to have a 5 hour test. This was much better and the drink wasn't nearly as bad. The worst part was the fasting and having to wait until 10:20 to even have my appointment, then drinking something that's practically pure sugar, then waiting another HOUR. I was starving when I got out of the office.

I've gained two pounds! Then I had to ruin it by getting a haircut. I think I lost a pound after that. Oh wells! (That puts me at about 4lbs total weight gain for the pregnancy. I think I'm finally gradually gaining.)

I'm measuring great, she's super active and kicked the OB and the nurse several times during the fetal heartrate and the measuring. I think she was hyper from a large amount of sugar surrounding her just a few minutes before. Took the nurse about 5 minutes just to get her heartbeat because she kept moving and kicking and shifting away from it. She does not like cold stuff.

One thing they did notice was a bit of blood in my urine sample, which could mean the beginning stages of a UTI. They sent the sample out for a culture and I should hear something about it the same day as I get the results of the glucose test. I don't have any symptoms at all that I can notice (frequent urniation maybe? Though it's been about the same most of the pregnancy.) and my OB said that it could just be forming. I be drinkin lots of cranberry juice, yaaar!

We had an amazing weekend in Dallas, I felt great the entire time and had good company! We went to the Scarb Renn Faire, and had a great time. I didn't get sore or tired or anything. Weather was great (other than a bit of mud) and I had a turkey leg. Mmmm. Oh! And then we had damn good cake (tm) at the party after. I love the Dallas Crew!

Mel and Mike are seriously some of the most amazing friends I have ever had. I have mad love for them. I look forward to seeing them again next month and spoiling them rotten while they're here!
