Well I finally made it back from the doctor’s office. For anyone who has ever been to the Kaiser in Wildomar, they know how hectic parking and getting out of that area is. Anyways I went in for my gestational diabetes test and Iron level test. I had to drink this orange drink 1 hour before they drew my blood. Fortunately, the type of drink they gave me wasn’t so horrible so I didn’t feel like throwing it up. On the other hand, about 40 mins afterwards I began to feel light headed and bleh. They took my blood and will tell me my results later. Wish me luck with that.

After the blood draw, I had an appointment with my OB. She measured my increasenly larger belly and I got to hear baby Mia’s heart beat again. Always a treat. Everything checks out fine. I informed the doc about my bouts of increased pulse rate (sometimes reaching 120+ per min) for no reason and tiredness. She informed me of some stuff I can do to help that, and told me to start doing kick counts. That is going to be interesting. Either the baby is swimming laps like crazy or shes sleeping. When I acknowledge her kicking (either by telling someone about it, or placing my hand on my tummy), she quickly gets shy and hides. Its hard to know when to start counting haha.

My second ultra sound is scheduled for next Monday April 7th. They are going to check her kidneys to see the progression. I have been dreading this day since I am such a pessimestic person, I always think the worse. Since we found out about her condition back in Feb. I have made myself put it in the back of my mind so I don’t stress or think about it, but the day to face the truth is coming up and it kinda makes me uneasy. I pray things will all be fine and she will be fine. If you are interested in reading up on the condition I did find a good website that describes it a bit better than I could.

Well I am about to take a nap.. I’m pooped. Please contiune to include my little one in your prayers and I will post again the results of the blood work and her ultra sound. Till then, Take care!
