30w Dr's Appt and Brandons Home!!!
The Dr's appt yesterday was great! My mom and dad were able to go. It was the first time dad was able to hear Buf's heartbeat! It was in the same week he finally got to feel him move! It was an exciting week for pop! I didnt gain any weight in two week and in four weeks only gained 1 lb. The new eating must be helping but I'm measuring at 32 weeks so that means that baby is getting big! I keep telling him please don't be like daddy and be a 10 lb baby! I guess we will see soon! The heartbeat was 138. I was a little concerned b/c its been in the 160-150 range the whole time. The dr said not to worry its normal b/c the baby is getting so big its hard for them to move so their heart rate slows! Makes sense! My BP was also great at 120/70. The best its been in a while. I'm thinking the eating but me helping that too! All in all a great appointment!
Brandon got home last nite and we had terrible storms and our power was out so that was interesting but he never felt the baby move before he left so he was so excited to feel him last nite. So he decided to put his head on my tummy and when he did Buf gave him a swift kick in the head. It was hilarious and cute! I think he was saying dad u left us so I'm gonna get u back! It's a little strange having him home but I love it (even tho all we did was go to bed by time we got home)!

28w dr's appt
Everything went well I only gained 1 lb in two weeks to I was happy abt that! The baby's hearbeat was good. It was in the 150's. I was measuring only abt a week ahead now so my new eating habits must be helping a bit! I showed the Dr my swelling ankles (which I don't have anymore b/c the swelling is so bad). She suggested swimming. So I think I'm going to join the y and see if that helps. Its becoming harder and harder to walk! All in all a great appt. I can't believe baby W will be here in abt 11 weeks! Thats just craziness!!

GD test
I went and got my three hr GD test taking yesterday. It wasn't a very plesant experince. I had to get my blood taken 4 times, and I have thin veins so its very hard for them so they had to take one in my hand and two on my forearm. WOW those hurt. After the first blood draw I had to drink the Gloucose drink. It stayed down for 25 mins then I threw it up. Luckily they said I had it in my system long enough so I didn't need to redrink it. THANK GOODNESS!! I was anxiously awaiting the call from the Dr. today. And to my surprise it was mostly good news! I passed all the tests but 1. They said in order to be consider GD you need to fail two or more. I failed the one after I drank the glucose drink. They did say that I should watch what I eat. Based on how I reacted to the drink yesterday they new my body wasn't processing sugar the right way and in turn is making me sick. So now I have to follow a modified diabetic diet. I can't eat white flour. If I eat a carb I MUST eat a protien with it, I'm only allowed to eat 1/2 piece a fruit at a time. Fruit makes me sick so hopefully eating 1/2 piece will help! All in all not terrible news! They said they will closely monitor how big the baby is getting. If it gets too big then I will need to see a nutrionist. Hopefully my modified eating will help with that!
