I walk in and say,"What's up doc?", he responds with ,"You look casual." I start thinking about the hundreds of things that could mean. Either way I walk past him to the lab to get my glucose drink. Drink it as fast as I can because it tastes like a flat version of orange soda with extra sugar and then the hour wait begins.
Off to get my sonogram now. So Ian and I go into the dark room to watch our little Hollywood star on the black and white screen. His legs are crossed at the ankles and he appears to be tapping his foot. The sonogram tech says our baby has an attitude because he doesn't seem to want to participate today! Then we see his mouth opening and closing as he swallows the fluid I drank earlier. Thank God we find out our baby is measuring perfect for his age. And this sonogram showed that he has hair already.
Dr Cosentino comes in and tells me that I now have a cervix! Yaaay but I'm still on bedrest because gravity isn't on my side. Our babies heart rate is great. Unfortunately I failed the glucose test but I have another one coming up. Maybe this time I will pass because gestational diabetes on top of everything else is gonna be a pain.
Next appointment April 8
