I had another appointment yesterday and did the glucose screening test. The beverage I drank really didn't taste too bad. It honestly was like flat soda with a bit of an aftertaste. Then they drew my blood to test and make sure I don't have gestational diabetes.
All is well with Lobi and with me! As of my ultrasound nearly 7 weeks ago (can't believe it's been that long!) Lobi was only in the 25% for size! She's so small! But the doctor assured me that's fine and that she's completely healthy. I just think it's crazy Kurt and I have a small baby (for now). Neither of us are particularly small people.
Kurt came with me and got to hear Lobi's heartbeat for the first time! It was pretty cool. I also got the whooping cough vaccine- there's a higher rate of whooping cough in western Washington than the national average. My arm is rather sore today and I'm due to get a flu shot at work next week!
I've had a very easy pregnancy thus far. I've hardly had any nausea (let alone throwing up!) and my only complaints are sleepiness and a stuffy nose. I'm now getting to the point where I can't eat as much or else things are very uncomfortable- there's not as much room with Lobi in there too :) There's still a lot to prepare for and tons of stuff to buy, but I just can't wait to meet this little girl! I already think she's adorable and perfect. And can I just say- she's going to have an awesome father! I'm so excited for her to have Kurt as her dad. She's a lucky little lady!
