Boy or Girl? What do you think?

Today was my monthly check up with Dr. Morris. He is so funny, always calls me Bridge and is so nice. He was asking me what I was thinking about the gender, I told him I am pretty torn because in all my dreams it is a girl, but I sort of feel like it's a boy. He said that there are a bunch of women like me that don't want to find out and we talked about how exciting it is. (He really is so sweet!) Then he measured my stomach and listened to the baby's heart beat, it was measuring between 147 and 154. He also went over my glucose test results, which I passed. He said the cut off is 141 and my results were 81. My weight stayed the same, so I'm still down about 20 pounds. He said I'm doing great, the baby is doing great and to keep up the good work! Since I'm in my third trimester (29 weeks and 4 days today!) I will be having my appointments every 2 weeks now, my next appointment is with Mary Jane Dobson (the nurse practitioner) Thursday, January 5th at 9:45 AM.

Good bye 2nd trimester!

Baby Diff is 27 weeks today, the last week of the 2nd trimester, I can't believe it! The 1st and 2nd trimester sure flew by! I've heard the 3rd trimester seems to drag a little bit, but hopefully with the holidays it will help me pass the time. Yesterday I had my 1 hour glucose test. I had the lemon lime drink, it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't the best. She said it was best to drink it cold and to drink it fast, so I put my college skills to work and downed it! The sugar cocktail had Baby Diff doing gymnastics all day long yesterday and into the night. He or she was moving and shaking and not ready to calm down! An hour after I drank the stuff they took about 5 vials of blood and sent me on my way. I'm not exactly sure when I will get the results back for the test, my doctor pretty much only calls when there is something to say. I really hope I passed this test! :) I've heard gestational diabetes is not fun. (Shocking, I know.)
