27 weeks ...Fail....Pass

it had been 5 weeks since I went to the OB. we spread the appointments so I could pair an appointment with a glucose sugar test.

all was great. got there. drank the fruit punch drink, which i really dont think is that bad at all, saw the midwife. weighed in at an ll lb weight gain total...i was up 13.6 lbs at 28 weeks with asher as comparison...so still down a little bit. measuring right on, heart beat was strong and 151. he is head down, head right in my pelvis bone and it hurts often. he could still move around a lot as there is still plenty of room for flipping in there. hopefully he likes my hip...wel not really, but id rather him stay right there than flip.

then i moved to the waiting room to wait for my finger prick and blood test.

and I FAILED. 135 is passing, i got 137. grrrr

i blame the brownie and peach cobbler i had at 7 pm the day before at our cookout.

thanks naomi and renee. all your fault. you forced me to eat that dessert, right?!?

i scheduled the 3 hour glucose follow up for two days later. i couldve lived my life without that waste of a morning. she drew blood upon arrival and clobbered my vein. it hurt the entire time i was there and the entire day. i drank another even more concentrated drink and waited an hour. she drew blood no problem out of the other arm, waited another hour, did some online shopping, read my book, texted, worked, drew blood out of said arm #1 again an hour later and the original place she drew blood that killed started to bleed again. then another hour and my last draw where she missed the vein, rolled the needle, twisted it to snag the vein with no luck and had to pull back out and re-draw. lovely i tell ya. by this point it had been more than 12 hours since i had eaten and i was getting famished. i already have hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) normally so i was shaking. i ran out of there praying this was the end of this. got back to my office and i was out of breath, heart racing, sweating, panting and slightly freaking out trying to cram food into my mouth while attempting to have a serious conversation with my boss. i shouldve told him to call back. i was a hot mess. then i immediately started freezing and felt exhausted. what a day.  i was in bed by 8:45 asleep. my arm looks like a battle zone and was sore and swollen for two days. now it just looks nasty and its been an entire week later. what gives?

after i removed the bandaid the day of...

11 days later.... yuck!

the good news, i passed. oreo cookie consumption continues.... ya know one a night, but still i was worried i wouldnt get my fix.

back to the ob every 2 weeks now. crazy!? how am i already this far along....

and the dresser shipped this week. it was on back order and its deliver date was very much TBD. im thrilled to know i will be able to stash away all the cute little hand me downs from ash in no time and hang the handprint canvases we all made for baby 2 above the dresser. the glider is also in and will be delivered this week too... yippe. that was way better than i anticipated.  the nursery is coming along. if only we had a name we could really finalize a few details. but of course we dont.

and by the way this name wont be mainstream, it wont be normal and it will not be on the nameberry 2012 list. i can assure you of that. asher however is the #1 name on nameberry for 2012....grrr good thing he was born in 2009. start your guessing now....
