We went to our OB appointment yesterday and saw a midwife instead of my regular Dr. We (I) wasn't too fond of her...She told me I gained too much weight this month and maybe I should stop "treating" my self so well. THE NERVE!!! First of all, it was over 6 wks from visit to visit last time and I only gained 5 lbs. Second, I gained 5 lbs this 4 wk period. If my calculations are correct that is 10 lbs in 10 wks which meets the 1 lb/wk goal. All I have to say is...WHATEVER!
My belly measurement is 27". She said the baby is progressing well and has a nice strong heartbeat. The midwife wasn't very good at finding the heartbeat either. Its ok though b/c yesterday was her last day so I don't have to worry about seeing her again. At the end of my appointment I was informed that I had to get lab work done and it had to be done Friday since I was leaving for such a long time. This was lab work to test for anemia (to make sure my iron pills are working) and the glucose test to test for gestational diabetes. Of course this was a big hassle b/c when I called the lab they told me they had nothing available. So here I am an irritated pregnant woman, not going to take "no" for an answer. By the end of my phone call I had my appointment at 10am on Friday.
I am sure there are a few of you who know that the nice syrup drink they give you for the glucose test is GROSS!!! And then there is the waiting for an hour after you drink the nasty stuff before you can get your blood drawn. Not sure when I will get the results, but its over for now and tomorrow the dogs and I are headed to NY. I suppose I should go pack ;-).

Haha! As I said earlier I didn't like her either! (I had the most uncomfortable pap ever from her). You look great, even with your crazy week! I hope you have a great trip! We'll miss you!
Oh yea that drink is pretty nasty! It made my heart race too when I drank it. Have fun in NY!
