28 weeks

I had my 28 week appointment yesterday where I had to have a glucose test. I've been feeling very sick the past few days so I don't really feel like eating. I had a granola bar when I first got up and started feeling nauseous after that. I got the the dr. office 5 minutes late and the woman at the desk told me that normally they'd make me reschedule since I'm 15 minutes late but because I was doing that glucose testing I didn't have to. I pointed out that I was only 5 minutes last but apparently I was supposed to show up early to drink that glucose drink... it would've been nice of I was told. I went out back to sip on the drink, it was actually pretty tasty, just like orange soda, but I had to drink it kind of fast and that made me feel sick. I then went into see the midwife, who gave me an informational packet that I was supposed to get at the last appointment detailing this appointment and how I was supposed to show up early... nice. Jack's doing great, he has a strong heartbeat, I'm measuring right on track and I gained 3.5lbs, that would be 14.5 total so far. The midwife cultured my throat for strep and gave me a prescription for zithromax (just in case the test is positive.) After that I had my blood drawn and was told I'd find out by today if I failed the blood test, and if I did I'd have to go back for another test that would take 3 hours. I haven't heard from them yet so keep your fingers crossed! I should hear back by Monday about the strep.



Off to the pharmacy I went with my prescription. I told the pharmacy tech that I'd never been there before and gave her all my information and insurance card. 20 minutes later I was called up to the counter to be rung out. She asked if my bday was 4/9, I said no and looked at the paperwork she had on the counter that stated my address was Regina Rd. I, as calmly as possible, explained that that was NOT ME! I thought considering I'd never been there before and gave them all my information they should've gotten it right. I'm starting to tire of the confusion. I know it's not that big a deal, but when it happens at hospitals and pharmacies that makes me nervous. I'd bet money that when I deliver this baby they'll think I'm Ashley J.



I'm still sick and feel like crap but my mom, husband and kitties are taking care of me. I stayed home from work Wednesday and Thursday. I'm going to attempt to go today, but I don't know how long I'll last. Last night I was laying on the couch sweating so I opened all the windows and took off my shirt. Too bad I didn't get a picture of that, I totally brought sexy back!


Tomorrow we start are childbirthing classes as 8am. We're taking the weekend class so we go Saturday and Sunday 8-1 and then we're done! Hopefully we won't see or hear anything scary.



It was brought to my attention by dear sister-in-law that I looked cute at 22 weeks... (isn't she sweet) so I thought for fun I'd take my 28 week pic in the same shirt I was wearing at 22 weeks to see if I still look cute, ha ha! I appear to be a little rounder now.

you are adorable! you hide your belly very well - you look much smaller in person than in these pics (not to say you look huge in the pics).

i will try to remember to be nice and early when it's time for my glucose test, but at this point i can't remember 5 minutes ago, so we'll see :)

feel better!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels numb. I swear the baby is sucking out all my brain power.
