I figured we were due for another baby update. No pun intended! Despite having received the world's best baby book (thanks Nygaards!), we have no idea what she will be called. I told Isabel that when she comes out, she'll just tell us. In the meantime, Isabel has fun making up the different names. Last week, it was Aurora. Before that? Saoirse. So, no, no names have been decided.
I think I've officially popped as I'm about 17 pounds into this and she's been really active lately. I'm thinking growth spurt. Anyway, Mom is usually tired by the end of the day but she tries to get her 30 minutes of cardio before work because anything after work, watch out! I'm pretty much non-functional.
We have another, standard, appointment this Wednesday where they check the heartbeat and how big she has gotten but nothing major. I'm dreading the sugar test (aka Glucose Tolerance Test). And, they should be scheduling that soon as it's between 24-28 weeks. If you don't remember what this is ... and, I didn't, I blocked it out.
First, you drink a special glucose (aka sugar) mixture (think flat soda). Then you sit and wait. Exactly one hour later, your blood is drawn and tested for glucose. If the results are high, it means you have to take the next test. You drink a different glucose mixture and then your blood will be drawn three more times, at one, two, and three hours later. Triple the fun!
Much love to you all!
