-I failed the one hour Glucola test and had to take the three hour to see if I had gestational diabetes. The test was not as bad as I thought even though you ended up fasting for about 15 hours and getting blood drawn 4 times in 3 hours. Luckily all was fine with my bloodwork and no diabetes for me!
-I'm officially 33 weeks this coming Tuesday so we have about 7 weeks left!
-I have only gained 5.5 lbs as of my last doctors appointment.
-My blood pressure has been perfect every appointment but one and even then it was only high by about two or three points and I had been rushing that morning and hadn't had time to take my meds that morning.
- This past week Charles and I attended a breast feeding class and a birthing class (well not the whole birthing class because it was simply too long and I was in pain, and Charles hadn't slept since getting off of work!)
-I woke up one night this past week with the WORST charley horse I have EVER had in my entire life! I didn't know what to do or how Charles could help me (which he was desperately trying to do) and ended up in tears! When I have had them in the past they would gradually go away and my calf would be sore the rest of the day. This one lasted way longer and cramped my whole leg up through my butt! It went away as soon as it came and I wasn't sore at all. So weird but apparently it's common in the last trimester and related to water consumption so I have been trying to drink a LOT of water to avoid that again!
-I occasionally I have heartburn but most of the time it's not anything to even take tums for.
Overall this pregnancy has been fairly easy. I have good days and some that are more "uncomfortable" than others. I haven't had too many mood swings but I get cranky often. Haha. Today when we got home from our birthing class I was tired and probably overwhelmed with information and it quickly escalated! I had a whole container of Chinese leftovers in my hands and Charles came up to me and tried to kiss me on my neck...well I'm very ticklish and it startled me and all my food went all over me and the floor! I immediately started bawling and sobbing without really knowing what was happening. Poor Charles rushed to help me clean it up and tried consoling me but him being so nice actually made me cry even more! Let's chalk that one up to hormones and too much going through my head! I have my next doctors appointment this Friday with one if my doctors associates. I'm just pleased everything is going so well,
