28 week ....glucose appointment

I had my appointment yesterday to do the glucose testing. I've been dreading this day for the last 4 weeks when they told me that's what would take place for the 28 week appointment hahaha. As far as the glucose orange drink... I have always heard horror stories about it, how awful it tasted so on and so on....I've got to say it really wasn't all the bad. it tasted more like a melted Popsicle or watered down kool-aid. Nothing like what girls have always told me. And it wasn't a whole lot to drink, I mean a few big gulps and it was down. Then came checking on the baby and measuring my fundal height. I am measuring at exactly 28 week, so I am right on target. Baby's heartbeat was around 140, which is pretty much what it has always been around....138-140. As for weight gain..I only gained 1lb since the last appointment in April, and TOTAL weight gain is only 8 POUNDS!! Which lets face it,on the one hand I am super excited about, because gaining a lot of weight during pregnancy is every girls nightmare........but on the other hand, my Dr. is a little concerned that i'm not gaining enough. But really... unless I start eating cheeseburgers and french fries everyday, i'm not really sure what I can change. I eat healthy and not so healthy meals (cravings get the best of me sometimes hahah) I drink a lot of water...but I also drink a lot of juices and green tea. Sometimes I even drink some soda when I REALLY need some caffeine. I eat when i'm hungry.. not full meals, but the snacking through out the day like they always say to do. So as far as the non-weight gain goes....I don't really have an explanation for it EXCEPT...maybe, it's because I lost almost 13 pounds in the first 4 1/2 months because I was SOO sick. At that point I couldn't keep anything down. She told me that she would LIKE for me to try and gain atleast 2 to 3 pounds this month....so we will see. As far as I am concerned though, as long as everything is going great and the baby is healthy and on track...I don't see any SERIOUS issues with my lack of weight gain. ................NOW....as far as the blood draw..MY WORST NIGHTMARE... I was dreading that moment to come....the minutes ticking by was torture..really I just wanted to RUN out of the building. I have had my blood drawn many times for different things, and I have passed out EVERY single time. I break out into cold sweats, I turn pale white, my blood pressure drops..so on so on.. and usually it lasts about..10 minutes or so hahaha. So needless to say I was not looking forward to having yet another needle sucking about my blood. So we're in the room, i'm watching her prepare the needle and get things ready..i'm totally fine, just talking baby stuff... and then it's time, so I lie back turn my head, i've got my cold washcloth ready for placement on my head..... and she starts... BUT WAIT...I don't pass out... I get a little cold sweat across my forehead.I turn just a little flushed...but SERIOUSLY... that was the best experience I ever had with blood draw. She was done in like 30 seconds I swear. SO for the first time EVER I didn't pass out.. I was so proud of myself!!!!! And Eric was proud too, he always tends to freak out a little when I pass out and what not. THANKFULLY...all blood draws are over with for the rest of the pregnancy..Thank the LORD!!!! I was just TRULY excited that it went WAY better then I ever expected it to. Which made for a very good day :)
