Today we went out to the hospital for our monthly examination. We went for the regular pregnancy checkup, which could basically be phoned in (weight, blood pressure, "Any pains?"). There was one other thing though, Amanda had to get her blood drawn for a diabetes test.
You see some ladies get a form of diabetes called gestational diabetes while they're pregnant. She had a blood test one of the first appointments and she was borderline for having it. So they had to do another test to see if she do got it. She had to drink a glucose drink called Glucola, orange flavor, and she doesn't like it. I tried a few sips and she's right about it being no good. We'll know the results in a couple days. We're crossing our fingers hoping she doesn't have it. It wouldn't be the end of the world if she did but it wouldn't be the beginning of the world either. So I'll let you all know what happens.
We also got set up for our next appointment. It should be the last monthly appointment and then we'll go to bi-weekly (from what I read) since we'll be so close to the end of pregnancy and beginning of having a baby. So that's pretty cool. We did a little bit of looking over a calendar and found that October 1 as a due date would make it 38 weeks. That sounds reasonable I guess, so it may be then after all.
Well, happy rest of Thursday and a real great Friday and I'll be writing to you later. Byebye.
