I had my screening test for gestational diabetes today. Before going to the appointment, I had to drink a glucose drink. I had heard a lot of horror stories about how bad it tastes. It kind of tastes like gatorade at first. It wasn't as bad as I thought, but it was still pretty nasty. One hour after the glucose drink, I had my blood drawn. They tested me for anemia as well as gestational diabetes. I shouldn't hear anything from the doctor unless my lab results are abnormal.
Our appointment with the doctor was short, but we got some great pictures of the baby. Colby is convinced that he looks just like him! :) He is positioned with his head down right now. In the pictures, you can see the umbilical cord right in front of his neck and mouth. His little hand is in the background of the first two pictures on the top left side of the pictures.
He seems to be moving around a lot! I am feeling lots of little kicks and punches. It is so much fun to sit and watch as my belly bounces and wiggles and around. Colby and I are both enjoying getting to feel and see our little boy move!
Dr. Nilson says the baby looks great. I am 27 weeks and 1 day. Our next appointment will be May 24. We are also having our 4D ultrasound on Saturday, May 22. I can't wait to see him again! I know we will get some awesome pictures and video!
