6 mth appt.

Hey Readers,

Last Tuesday I went to my 6mth OB appt. and my Specialist appt. Just wanted to update everyone and let them know how the appt.'s went.

The OB was the glucose test appt. and the sugary drink I had to drink was FRUIT PUNCH (YUCK!) It is so sugary, it makes me gag! The nurse kept on saying if you throw up you have to start all over.....well...duh! I wasn't going to throw up but I was definitely making noises about how NASTY the drink was...lol! Anywho, this appt. was very nice and smooth, my midwife came in and checked me out and said she (Carson...this week) sounded good and felt good! She was pleased which made me pleased. Then I had to sit in the waiting room for another 30 mins to let that sugary, nasty drink soak up in my blood so they could draw some blood. I am not sure I have ever mentioned this but I hate getting my blood drawn but if I ever have to, I would want the nurse at my OB practice to do it. She is SO SMOOTH and does an EXCELLENT job.....I compliment her EVERY time......! I have had a bad experience that is why I have always disliked it but this nurse allows me to be relaxed and not worry about it....she is GREAT! So shout out to the OBGYN of Atlanta blood drawing nurse....ha....I don't even know her name....so sad!

My Fetal Specialist Appt. was right after this one so I went straight to this appt. and waited for Grant to meet me there. They called me back and did all the ultrasound anatomy checkups like they did last time. Watching this screen this time from last time was crazy because Grant and I both could tell how much she had grown. Her spine was so detailed and all her body parts....so that was telling me she was GROWING...yay! The technician was very pleasant (I liked her a lot better than the last one) she actually talked to us and made us giggle here and there and she kept saying how pretty everything was on our little girl! She definitely brightened up the mood and made us feel comfortable and good about why we were there, as opposed to SCARED to death, which I was when I first got there. So, she was done and mentioned she was also pleased with what she saw and then she sent us to another room to wait to talk to the doctor. The Doctor came in and mentioned how (CARSON) is still measuring small but that is okay. But at 32 weeks if she is still small then we need to see her more often to monitor her growth more (I was 25 weeks on Saturday.) She then said the umbilical cord still remains/looks the same so we just need to continue to monitor that and make sure (CARSON) is getting enough blood flow and nutrients. And last she talked about the FLUID....she mentioned it was actually looking back to NORMAL.....what, really.......repeat...NORMAL! So after the crazy scare of abnormal fluid last month, now things look normal.....! I sure hope so and felt super relieved to hear that from her! She mentioned I can still continue to go on my everyday activities and that I will do until I feel the need to slow down or they tell me.

And that is the lastest Readers.......! This coming up weekend is the weekend to work on getting Braylen's big girl room ready and putting the nursery (Braylen's room) back to nursery style.....well that might not happen right away but getting the BIG girl room is the first on the list....so I will post on that!

I don't have an update picture of my belly but this picture was taking this past weekend of Grant and I at the Tim McGraw concert.....! I am definitely starting to gain weight....I see it in my face and arms and legs....everywhere really.....but the baby is worth every pound! :)
