27 Weeks

Well today marked 27 weeks as well as the glucose test I've been dreading for the past 5 weeks since they told me at my last appointment that would happen at the next appointment. I have to say it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. It did still take me 15 minutes to drink the easydex but I managed to get it down.

Jym came with me to the doctors for the first time so he got to see how simple they are. I won't say completely painless because it did take two tries to get the blood needed today and I hate the part where I get to step on the scale but I know it's all for the baby and hopefully it'll come off easily.

I got to meet one of the other doctors in the practice today which was good as I had only seen my doctor for the most part and the last thing I wanted is to go into labor and for some reason my doctor was not available and have to work with someone I had never met. She was very nice and straightforward much like the doctor I normally see. One of the reasons I picked the practice I did was that it is three women. I'm fine with a male doctor for some things but there are just some things that I would rather have a female doctor for and when it comes to the OB/GYN that's really the only thing where I want a woman doctor over a male.

After the nurse that I saw today missed the vein to take blood my normal nurse came in and got it fairly quickly. The appointment after that was fairly routine, I got to ask any questions I had at the time and then we got to listen to the baby's heartbeat. It's actually one of my favorite parts. It was nice and strong so that was good and apparently she seems to be growing at a good pace. The doctor mentioned that next visit would be my last 4 week visit and then I would start going a little more frequently. As I thought about it I realized the next time I go I'll have only 9 weeks left till my due date.

On his days off this week Jym has managed to clean out the nursery and hopefully we'll be able to prime it this weekend. I'm looking forward to the nesting phase and wish I had some more time off. :)

Till the next time!
