Office Appointment + Labs

Woke up Thursday thinking that the appointment was going to be a normal one.  Did the normal things that I always do before an appointment.  Wake up, eat breakfast, and drink lots of water.  Should of known something was going to be different.  I started feeling sick from the car ride which is not normal.  My feet have been swelling to the size of a melon, my tummies been cramping for ages, and I'm a lot more aggravated than I usually am.  Yay for being pregnant.

I signed in at about 9:10 when my appointments 9:15.  My husband and I sat in the waiting room for almost an hour watching SuperNatural.  When we got called in they did the normal weight and blood pressure measurements.  I've gained so much weight since the beginning of my pregnancy.  Started at 130ish...now I'm like 155.  But yeah like normal went to one of the rooms, urinate into a cup, and wait for the doctor.

We sat in almost complete silence with only the ruffle of pages coming from the magazine that was being flipped through by my husband.  The sudden opening of the door almost made me jump as my doctor walked in.  She did the normal get on the computer, check baby's heartbeat with the fetal Doppler, and ask me if I had any questions.

I swear I don't ever want to be pregnant in the summer ever again.  I asked about the swelling of my feet.  My doctor giggled and said that the swellings only going to get worse.  I asked about the cramps and she said it could be from an infection, which she would check on or that I'm not having enough bowel movements, or a combination of things.  So my appointment ended in sadness as my level of being uncomfortable grows.  But I'd still do anything for my baby!  =)

My lab was a glucose screening.  I'm 27 weeks so I guess its normal since most glucose screenings are usually between 24-28 weeks.  I don't know my results yet but all I know is that I HATE NEEDLES!  That  was the wrap of one of my most horrible days at the clinic.  My husband and I ended up coming back home and he went to work just in time for their second break.  It's not as horrible as I said it was.  It was actually a decent day just getting to hear and thinking about hearing my baby's hear beat.  It wows me a every time.  =)
