Good news, I don't have Gestational Diabetes. I passed my glucose tolerance test, but barely! Had a good check-up, blood work looked good, still measuring on target! The bad thing about my appointment is I had to get a shot. My blood type is RH Negative and because of this I have to get a shot with each pregnancy around this time, or after any miscarriages or deliveries. If the baby has the same blood type (RH negative) then I do not have to get another shot after delivering him, but if he does not then I will. The bad thing about the shot is I had to get it in my butt. I knew I was getting a shot I just did not know where. The nurse said, alright pull down your pants, I said, “what, where is this shot going?” She said, “Sorry, its going in your butt.” I said nervously, “Ok, how far do I need to pull my pants down, lol.” Nick was just a laughing at me, but he did hold my hand. He has been so good to me, throughout this pregnancy. He goes with me to every appointment; he asks the doctor more questions than I do. I keep joking with him that I need to make him go get me something at 2 or 3 in the morning!!! Just so he can have the full effect of meeting my cravings in my time of needs and wants.
We are slowly checking off our list of things to do. We are about to sign up for our first childbirth class!!! We would have taken the class this month, but we missed the cutoff time. But they offer another one next month, so we will sign up for that one. We know that the baby will be added to Nick’s health insurance policy and I will be added if I no longer work. We have registered at Target and Babies R’ Us!!!
One of the biggest things left to decide is to find Nathan a pediatrician. They tell you to pick one before the baby is born (obviously) but how do you know where to start? I can’t even name one pediatrician in Nash County and I’m supposed to pick one for my baby. It’s a little overwhelming.
Things have been really good the last few weeks. My only complaint is back pain. Nathan must be sitting on my back. My back hurts so badly at night, I can barely move. I have even had some back spasms. The doctor recommended some things to help with the pain and to hopefully prevent my back from hurting in the first place. Please pray that I will take better care of my back and it will stop hurting. Nathan is starting move more and more everyday, well at least I am starting to feel him so much more than before. I love, love, love it!!! When I don’t feel him during the day I get a little worried, but he always makes his presents right in the nick of time. I can’t wait until others can feel him, especially Nick. Every time Nathan is kicking I call Nick over to feel him and Nathan immediately stops. I think he knows and is playing with us. Nick has put his head on my stomach and heard Nathan wiggling around and a few little kicks, but only a few times. Nothing is sweeter, than to share these moments with Nick!!!
I start going to the doctor every two weeks now. I can’t believe how quick this pregnancy has gone bye. We are nearing the mark of 100 days left. Can’t wait :)
