A Test's Results and A Baby Registry

Tonight's episode is very short. You don't know that yet because you just started reading. This is why I'm telling you, so you're not too surprised when you get to the end and it had only just begun.

So Amanda got her test results back and it appears that she does have the gestational diabetes. We should have studied harder. But, we'll make it through ok. Just a little change in diet and there should be no problems. It's not all that un-common. I think one place I was reading said something like 7% of ladies get it. So 7% of all ladies who have children is a pretty big number and if real bad things happened you'd probably hear about it. I haven't. I didn't even ever know there was such a thing until these tests. You learn something new everyday.

Amanda is going to the hospital to take a class on how to deal with it, like what to eat and whatever else. I'm gonna go with her so I'll know as well. With our powers combined we'll defeat the evils of high blood glucose levels during pregnancy.

And that's it for tonight. Oh wait, one more thing. We have updated our baby registry at Babies "R" Us if any of you are interested. I know how you all have piles and piles of cash just sitting around with nothing to spend it on because of you lack of confidence in the economy, so I'm offering up this opportunity to you. You can be confident that any purchase you make will be put to good use by us and little Eliza*. In lieu of purchasing something from the registry you can also just send the cash straight to us. Unmarked and random serial numbers please. LoL.

Well, it ended up longer than I thought it would be. I sat down here at 11:25 PM expecting to just type a paragraph and that's that. I do go on and on sometimes. Ok then, I'll type at you later. Don't forget to Like SAHB on Facebook and I hope that you find that sock you've been missing.

Doctor's Office Testing

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. 

Forgotten Photo

I was looking around on my phone's pictures last night to see what I could see and this pic is what I saw. It's from the day we found out about being pregnant. It's our little pregnancy tester that says positive!

Hey here's a helpful tip, don't buy your pregnancy testers from the regular store. Get them from the dollar store where they're only one dollar and they work just as well as the more expensive ones, as far as I can see.
