Dextrose tastes yummy!

Had a Dr appointment today. Officially I am 29 weeks 3 days. I had to do another glucose tolerance test and I really like the taste of the dextrose they give you. I chose lemon-lime again because I enjoyed it so much last time. My glucose blood sugar was good. It was 108 and only needed to be under 130. 130 or more would indicate gestational diabetes. Upon returning to the office Ro Ro asked how my glucose was and I told her it was good and she said "Of course it is, you're perfect!!" She knows me so well. She too is a Virgo.

Other updates...my BP is normal. I have no swelling or vision problems which would indicate preeclampsia. My pee pee is normal. I have a lump in my right armpit that was there even before I got pregnant. It has gotten a wee bit larger so she checked that out and it is just an accumulation of breast tissue, nothing to be alarmed about. We listened to Gummi's heart beat and it sounded strong and healthy.

I feel like I have definitely grow. I weighed in at 143.5lbs which is a 16lb gain from the starting point. That was approximately a pound a week since my last appointment. I weighted 139.5 last time. My fundal height is 29cm. I had to look up exactly what that is and basically it is the size of my uterus from the top to my pubic bone. Last appointment I was only 23cm so my uterus has grown 7cm in 4 weeks!! That is a lot! It is caught up with where it is supposed to be. Your fundal height should match the week you are in approximately. I knew I had grown and gotten heavy. 4 lbs and 7 cm change from last time wow!!

I talked to the Dr about not being able to breath and she basically told me that is just the way it is. That because I'm tiny and there isn't a lot of room for him in there. What is worse is that I still have 2 months of growth to go and he's only going to get bigger and bigger. Let's cross our fingers that he isn't overdue! He better come out on time otherwise I will be suffocating! Small ladies, this is the one time in your life that you will wish that you were a bigger person.

That's all for the Gummi update. We chatted a little about birth control after he's born and whether we want him circumsized. I'm now going to have appointments every 2 weeks instead of 4. The next one is July 1st and I get to see Rachel again. She did my very first appointment. It will be neat to see her again. Then one more on July 15th before Twinkies wedding to make sure everything is good to go for that. I need to make sure I'm still exercising and doing my Kegels. I signed up for Childbirth Preparation classes that start on July 6th and go for 6 weeks every Thursday. When I start breaking up the weeks it seems like it will go by so fast! I mean, we are already half way through June!! Then it is July and the wedding, then it is the last month already, 9 MONTHS!
