(Belated) Baby Update

I took the 1-hour glucose tolerance test in June and I BARELY passed. And because I barely passed my OB wanted me to take the 3-hour test. Which, thankfully, I passed with room to spare. So no gestational diabetes for me.

I also had an anatomy scan with the perinatologist back at the end of June. I had a WONDERFUL sonographer who has been doing this for 29 years. She also did the ultrasound for my nuchal screen when I was 13 weeks. Anyway, we discovered that both babies were head down (yeah!) and that Baby A was measuring 2 pounds 11 ounces and Baby B was measuring 2 pounds 8 ounces. They're right on target and more importantly measuring more or less the same. All of this is good news.

I also saw my OB for a check-up on July 2. It wasn't the greatest of appointments only because I was late getting to the appointment (thanks to Courtesy Chevrolet and their UNcourteous customer service), it was brutally hot, and I was rushed. Not to mention that fact that my OB had to leave in the middle of the appointment to go "catch a baby" at the hospital next door. But his staff was so nice and accommodating. I chilled out for 20 minutes in the exam room and the OB came back when he was done and we finished. All in a days work I guess.
