This came from my post in the Pregnant group. I didn't feel like re-writing it..
Oookay. So I had the lovely glucose test on Wednesday. I don't have gestational diabetes. BUT, I am anemic. Hey.. I'll take it. Those iron pills are better than having to test my sugar and watch what I eat, etc.. They do make me feel funny for about 2 hours after I take them. A little nauseous and antsy. The appointment was great really. I was measured 2 weeks ahead, putting me around 31-32 weeks. And I'm not measuring big because of gd. The very first due date they gave me was Sept. 2. They've changed it a billion times since then, but I'm tellin ya, they were close with that date. The dr said it looks like baby has dropped, or I'm just carrying very low. I have another appointment Aug 14 to figure out for sure! Hopefully an ultrasound will tell. That got me to thinking even more though. . . I don't really know for sure, and neither do the doctors, because I was never regular on my period. I distinctly remember on Christmas eve, being at work and complaining about how I got this really random, really heavy period. It lasted for only two days though. I'm telling you, I was pregnant. It's most definitely possible. I won't know for sure until baby is here! Seriously.. I'm huge!! My belly is huge! I'm ready to have this baby already. I'm sick of being pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact I have a little man in my belly. He depends on me and needs me and loves me already. But I'm ready to be able to sit up without having to roll over. I'm ready to be able to bend over to pick something up instead of squat. Lay down without heartburn, listen to the song 'Savior' by Rise Against without crying. Or stay up for more than 8 hours at a time without wanting to sleep. Go 2 hours without being hungry!
On another note... The nursery came! I put together the crib, the dresser and the changing table, hung his name on the wall and did some other stuff. I have the day off today and am going to put together the glider and ottoman.
One last thing.. I went out last night for the first time in a long time. A very long time. I went to Brixx Ice Co across the street from the Dragons stadium.. Saw a burlesque show! It was called Pasties for Pets. OMG I'm in love. Once baby is here and we get settled in and get a routine, I'm joining Femme Fatale Fitness and becoming a performer! I was a trained dancer for 14 years and most of these girls just do it for fun. One of them is amazingly awesome and I can tell she was probably a dancer most of her life. I can see it now, me and her. Just like the show they had last night. I've always wanted to do something with dance again, as an adult, and I think I've found it!!
Pics of the nursery to come!
