Yes, I know that today is actually September 3rd, but my doctor appointment was yesterday, September 2nd.
Update from the doctor:
I am right on target for weight, which is good. I have gained another 3.5 pounds. My stomach measures right on date with my week, which is 25. Only 15 more to go. Past the half way point. All down hill from here, right?! I wish anyway. The heartbeat was very strong. At this point I go in for visits every 2 weeks.
I started my day with my glucose testing. They drew my blood and had me wait. After about 30 minutes I was given that strong sugary drink which I had to drink in front of them and was told to be back in 1 hour. I was already 15 minutes late to my dr appoint directly across the road. I ran over to my doctor appointment.
I have been doing my own glucose testing at home by pricking my finger 4 times a day and have been on a special diet for the past 6 weeks +. My doctor reviewed my glucose chart since my last visit 4 weeks earlier and decided with my still erratic sugars that he needed to put me on an oral medication. I am to keep a close eye on my sugars in the next two weeks and keep them documented, so we can see if we need to increase the dosage or decrease it. Also, in two weeks, since I can not go into labor, he will put me on an oral medication to keep me from going into labor. I will continue to see him every two weeks at this point until I bump up to my once a week appointments.
I then went back over for my testing. A little while later my doctors office called to let me know that I did not need to finish my glucose testing since it was just a waste of time for me since they already had me on an oral medication to help with my glucose levels.
All and all it was an good appointment. I will be ready with more updates once I get them.
Oh and thinking about the name Lexington. Just not sure if it will be used as a middle or first name. Still trying to come up with unique baby boy names.
