Glucose Test…wasn’t that bad at all. If you like flat orange crush pop then you should be able to handle the orange drink… I don’t know about the other flavors, but that’s what I thought the orange one tasted like. My tips are cut out all sweets and just as normal as you can. I had the night before chicken, green beans, and mac n’cheese. Then for the day I had my oatmeal, boiled egg, peaches, a salad with chicken and cheese on it, and some peanut butter crackers…and lots and lots of water!! I took my test after work. My results came back at 148 and you can only score 140 or lower. So yes I did fail but not horribly. I’ll be doing the 3 hour test either Monday or Tuesday morning…not sure which one yet. And I feel confident I will pass.
Thursday night I had my Level II U/S for growth checks and double confirmation on the genders. Mike was able to come to this one. He thought it was so cool to be able to see little babies in there instead of blobs or blurry images. Well they are both BOYS…no doubt about it. Mike and I got to see their little manhood parts and there was no denying what they were. I could tell they have little penis’s. And their growth is right, right, on track. Baby A – Andrew – is 1lb 9oz’s and Baby B – Joseph – is 1lb 13oz’s. So I have over 3lbs of baby inside of me…so exciting!! I go back in a month for another growth check. No good U/S pics…just some face shots…no reason to upload. I will add more pics the next few days or next Friday.
Then on Friday….
I had my 1st visit to L&D yesterday… Thurs nite/Friday morning I got up to go to the bathroom and just thought I was having an upset stomach and my back was killing me. TMI…I was having diarrhea. So I thought I would just eat something and drink some water. Well when I woke up at 6:30 Friday I realized the pains where menstrual like pains and was having back cramps…Like your first day of your period. And that’s not a good sign being pregnant. So I called the doctor to ask if I should go in or not…and of course she said yes.
My mom took me to the hospital and by the time I got there I was feeling no pains and my back wasn’t hurting anymore. So I thought for sure they were going to send me home…NOPE. Mike met us there…he just works 5 mins from the hospital. That’s why my mom took me, not Mike.
They hooked me up and I was having little baby contractions…I couldn’t feel them. Then they did this special test to swab my cervix to check if I would be going into labor within the next 2 weeks. And checked my cervix to make sure I wasn’t dilating at all since I was probably having these contracts all night long…nope no dilation…thank goodness. But the test on my cervix for the labor results came back invalid. They have never had that test come back invalid…I’m so special…LOL Well then we had to wait 12 hours before they could do the test again…ugh. By the time the test results came back I was really having some contractions that I could feel…and what a weird hard thing to describe. But they gave me some water and apple juice and that helped. I had to eat 2 hospital meals…lunch and dinner…both sucked!!! And the babies did NOT like dinner at all…they made me have small contractions…LOL
So about 9:30 last night they came back to do the cervix swab once more and the results came back negative…Yay! So now I’m home and just have to take it easy. No lifting anything and just normal activity…nothing too stressful. We don’t know why I had them or what triggered them… So hopefully it doesn’t happen again…
But that’s what has happened this past week…hopefully this week no more DRAMA…please!!! I’m hoping this Saturday the 24th to be able to start setting up cribs and kicking Anthony out of his room…we’ll see????
