It's been a very busy week on the baby front. Well week and a half really. Last week was my Glucose test - yuck. Then Monday, a monthly Dr. appointment where I found out I BARELY passed the Glucose test and showing signs of mild/early preeclampsia. So on to the Non-stress test monitor i went for an hour. Then Tuesday after lunch, I began to feel really bad and was told to call with ANY symptoms out of the ordinary, and so I did and they have me come right over only to send me back to the hospital to the labor and delivery floor to be monitored for hours and hours. Lots of needle sticks/blood work and 1 IV later, they determine I'm feeling so bad because my blood sugar has plummetted. WHAT?! first you tell me I barely pass the glucose test, watch how much sugar I consume and now your telling me my sugar level isn't high enough? So then Wednesday will filled with following up with Dr's office on Tuesday's events, and more blood work. Thursday a special ultrasound to check on baby's well being (and he's fine- yay). And now today....a RhoGam shot in the rear end. NICE! My blood sugar is remaining an issue and hoping to talk to them about that while I am there as well. I feel for sure there is no reason I should have to feel so sickly constantly. The Dr. also put me on "light activity" which the nurse specifically described as no housework such as vacuuming and whatnot, no walking the mall or grocery store. Ummm HELLO it's tax free weekend and I'm a female. That = URGE TO SHOP. We'll see how that turns out. Tomorrow, having an elective 3D/4D ultrasound to get an even better look at my increasingly not so little guy. Should be interesting. Look for those pictures tomorrow sometimes (appointment isn't till 1pm so don't look before then, haha).
Travis is still enjoying his all-boy summer by the sea. Everyday it's stories of fishing or clamming or catching hermit crabs. He comes home filthy dirty from the waist down and I love it. It's how it should be with a little boy right? If he's staying spotless, he's not having fun.
