Week 27 is here! This starts the 7th month, as well as the 3rd trimester. Hard to believe we are already here! Our nursery is finished, just waiting on our shower gifts to finish filling up the drawers and closet and then we will know was we have left to buy before October. Our first shower is in my hometown next weekend, and our shower here is in a month. I put away all of the clothes we have bought/people have given us this far, and we are off to a pretty good start. We also have all the nursery furniture, a bath seat, a bouncy seat, stroller, and car seat. I still have one (small) wall to paint but it is really at the bottom of my list of priorities, lol.
Yesterday we had our 6th OB appointment for our 27 week check up. I had my glucose tolerance test, which was really not that bad. When I went back for the normal pee test and vital signs, the nurse gave me a (tiny) bottle of the sugar drink and said I had 5 minutes to drink it. It probably took one minute. It was the size of a little kid water bottle, and just tasted like that orange drink from McDonald's but a little sweeter with a funky bitter aftertaste. Then we went back out to wait for the doctor like we usually do, and after that had to wait until it had been exactly one hour since I finished my juice. Thank goodness my husband had just given me an iPad for my birthday, so I had something to look at. The wait was probably the worst part. They did a lab draw instead of a finger stick, so if anything was abnormal I won't know until next week.
Our next appointment isn't for FIVE MORE WEEKS! I'm sure if my glucose test was bad I will get a phone call telling me to come back sooner. Our doctor had actually mentioned us coming back in 2 weeks for a check up, but quickly changed her mind when she remembered we drive an hour to get to the hospital and both work full time night shift during the week, making our appointments nearly miserable. Our doctor is great! Can't wait til our next appointment when we get our FULL anatomy ultrasound, and it is in 3D!!!
