These last couple of days have been a bit hectic on the baby front. I went for a scan on Wednesday, cause my last scan showed that my placenta was low and could cause problems when birthing (too much information?!?!) anyway the scan showed that all was hunky dory, the placenta is where is should be an TripleB is looking good. Obviously lying with my ass up in the air and on my left side worked!!!
Here's a couple of pics of the wee fella!!!
At 4lb 2oz we are looking at an approximate birth weight of 8-9lbs - ain't technology a wonderful thing!
Thursday I had to go for a fasting blood sugar test cause my last bloods showed my sugar levels were "unacceptably high", which could mean that I had gestational diabeties, which isn’t great for me or TripleB.
So at 9am I was attacked by a very hearty and friendly nurse with a huge needle, she seemed to extract a pint of blood and then gave me a very sweet orange tasting drink to "get down", whilst handing it over she said "it doesn’t taste very nice, so take as much time as you like". Having not eaten or drunk anything but water since 9pm I took a tentative sip and then gulped like a thirsty man.... I actually quite liked it!!!
I then sat for what seemed like an endless 2hrs (thank god for MP3's and books) until another nurse came in and stole more of my blood. The tests then went of to the blokes in white coats and I was told to just wait out....
Luckily I got a phone call by 5pm to say the man from Delmonte he say "No to Gestational Diabetes". I scoffed a banana and chocolate spread sandwich and "hurrahed" my good news!
