Appointment Dec 15th (24 weeks 1 day)

I lucked out. Dr wants to do the gestational diabetes test in 2 weeks (at 26 weeks). The nurses want me to fast for 8-10 hours, and my appt is at 8:10 am. No problem. I'll sleep in, feed the horses, drive 2 mins to his office, do the stupid test, then have breakfast.

Heartbeat was 142 bpm. He's measuring 24 weeks 2 days, so right on target. Weighs 1.5 lbs. According to their scale, I am up 4 lbs from my last visit. But seriously, that goes up and down every other day. And because of the scale, my blood pressure was high. Of course I had to pee in a cup... and when I walked out, I was just thinking "Room 1..." and tripped over the damn scale. They have it right outside the door. Then the nurse came and took my blood pressure right away and it was high. Gee, wonder why. I almost faceplanted in the hallway! She said that even the nurses trip over it. I think it's time to move it...

We did get some ultrasound pics, but none good enough to scan in. We could see him gulping and the tech says he has a strong chin and long legs. Everything looks good.
