so today i was off to see the wizard again....excruciatingly early in the morning.
it went pretty normally. i got weighed. i've gained 25 pounds since i got pregnant....which is hilarious. i peed in the little cup....which is not quite as hilarious.
i had to have another stupid glucose test...god i hate the glucose test. which is basically where you have to drink this nasty orange sugar concoction that is way too fucking sweet to be drinking on an empty stomach. it's like really bad tang in a little styrofoam cup. you drink the nasty orange stuff and then wait around for an hour and then they draw your blood and test it to see how your body breaks down all the sugar....it's to check for gestational diabetes. which i am at risk for cos my mum and gramma both had it during their pregnancies. but i hate taking this test (i had one a couple of months ago too) because it makes me so...fucking...sick to my stomach. i literally had to sit there for most of the hour focusing entirely on not vomiting. breathing thru my nose. trying to sit as still as possible. trying not to think about all the sugar churning in my stomach.
don't like the glucose test.
after i drank the bad tang i had my examination, which was the normal part. listened to the baby's heart beating and heard him moving around trying to get away from the doppler.
i have to have another ultrasound on tuesday, which i'm not totally happy about, but oh well. i think dave's a little worried about it, but i'm pretty positive about the whole thing. oz ordered another ultrasound to check for what is called dilated renal pelvis in the baby. it's basically where the tubes connecting the baby's bladder and kidneys are a little enlarged and the peepee backs up. could be nothing. might not even still be like that, considering my first ultrasound was a month ago. so she just ordered another ultrasound to be sure nothing's going on in there. and even if it is, it might fix itself before he's born. and if it doesn't, there are plenty of treatments available for him when he's born.
i'm sort of just looking at it as another opportunity to see the baby. which is cool.
and i'm tired.
work sucks work sucks and oh yeah.......work sucks. i have to be at work again in about.........oh, nine and a half hours. weeee for saturdays.
this is the part where i shut my eyes for a prolonged period of time. but not too prolonged, lest i be late for work. yay work.
*sigh*...........
oh yeah.....i saw the fl@ming lips on con@n last nite.....and they were fucking great. i love those guys......i had almost forgotten how much!
so uhhhhh...........yeah. did i mention i hate cars0n d@ly?
