31 Weeks

I had both my 3 hour glucose tolerance test and my 31 week midwife appointment yesterday.

The glucose test was the suck. Especially the part where I thought I was going to faint and had to find a place to lay down. I'm a wuss. I had it done at the hospital, though, where the phlebotomists know what they're doing, so I only had to be stuck 6 times for 4 vials of blood.

The excellent news coming out of that is that I passed with all levels well within range. And that means no gestational diabetes for me.

The midwife appointment was all good news as well. I've actually lost another pound in the past two weeks, but Bit seems to have gone through a little growth spurt despite that. My fundal height increased 4cm in 2 weeks, instead of the 2 we'd expect. It could also just be the measurement - not really an exact science. My blood pressure is actually getting better as we go along.

The midwife said I'm "doing a good job growing this baby."
