3 hour glucose results!

I tested negative for gestational diabetes! Thank Goodness! What pregnant woman wants to be put on a strict diet? None that I know of! haha!
So, we are very thankful this came back negative. The actual 3 hour test was brutal. They did 4 blood draws and I was so sick afterwards and got dehydrated, so I had to take the day off work afterwards.
I am doing well now though and baby is doing well as well. He's moving all over the place and squirms an aweful lot!
We can't wait to meet our new addition!

Glucose Test results!

Got the call yesterday I have to go back tomorrow, Friday, June 26, 2009 for the 3 hour glucose test.
I had to take this test with Carson and it came back negative, so I'm hoping this is just a precaution. It's never fun to fast and get 6 viles of blood taken. Wish me luck tomorrow!
I go in at 8:45 AM and drink the sugar solution, wait one hour, and then take blood. They repeat this 2 more times, so I will be done at 11:45.
Should this come back positive, it means I have gestational diabetes and they have to monitor sugars, diet, etc.
SHould get these results early next week and will keep you posted!

Doctor visit!

I had my doctor visit today as well as my glucose test done.
I will get results of my test tomorrow, let's cross fingers this doesn't come back positive as it did with Carson. The 4 hour test liked to kill me!
I had some white blood cells in my urine today so they had to send my urine to the lab to get tested. Doctor said it's most likely an infection, but they will get me results on that as well.
It has been 3 weeks since I have been to the doctor and I have gained 1 lb. since my last visit. A total now of 10 lbs.
Doctor is very pleased with my weight gain as he said I'm probably not going to have as big of a baby as Carson was this time around. Let's hope he's right. He also said Carson wouldn't be over 8 1/2 lbs. We will have to see!
Baby's heartbeat was beating strong at 150 bpm. He's doing very well.
I will have test results to post up as I get them in, but in the meantime, we're all doing well!

A new side effect!

Alright, this one is going to be pretty funny to all of you, but not funny to me! (just kidding)
I have been getting charley horses in my feet! Yes, that's correct....not my legs but my feet!
Brittany got first hand what it looks like this weekend at Great Wolf Lodge.
I put my feet in the hot tub and all of a sudden, my toes start to get warped! I couldn't walk at all since my 2nd toe was completely pointed downward and it hurt me so bad.
This lasted about 10 minutes, no exaggeration! Brittany was laughing hysterically as I told her "I will meet up with you all when this goes away and I can walk again!"
It has happened a few times since. I remember getting them in my legs with Carson but not in my feet like this.
They hurt and if anyone has ever experienced them in your feet, you know what I'm talking about.

Another check-up

I had my check up yesterday. I am about 22 1/2 weeks right now. I had my last appointment 4 weeks ago, and have gained 3 more lbs. since then. I'm up to 9 lbs. total at this point.
Doctor says the baby's heartbeat sounds great.
My next visit will be on June 23. Three weeks away! I will get the glucose test done at this visit. Wish me luck on this one as this came back positive with Carson and I had to get the 3 hour test done before (not fun). After this next visit, I will be on an every other week schedule for appointments.
I know, I know, it's going way too fast!
He loves to move at night still. Keeps me up a lot during the night, but I would rather feel him moving than not, so I don't complain too much, just sleepy the next day.
Other than that, everything is going well. I have nothing really to report.
We got the room pretty much put together, just have to paint, but things are progressing!

Almost 22 weeks!

Well, I will officially be 22 weeks on Friday! I truly have nothing to report. I feel great, baby is moving a lot, and everything is going well.
We did get the crib together and put in his room and are trying to clear out the room to get it all ready. We have some time, so we are gradually getting to what we can without overdoing it in one day!
Carson's not sure about the whole thing. We asked him to come in and see his brothers room last night and he screamed "NO"! He didn't want us to even open up the door. He will tell you he's going to be a big brother, but he doesn't want to see anything about him right now. I'm sure he will get over it!
That's about all we have to report right now! Things are great!

Active baby!

Baby Hughes is finally moving and kicking for me. I was getting nervous as I was not feeling much movement at all up until now. Doctor said they worry about it by 22 weeks, and I'm going to be 21 weeks tomorrow!
The baby has been kicking mainly at night. Sure hope that changes before he comes! He seems to be up all night kicking me while I'm sleeping. Keeps me up at night, but it's so good to feel him finally moving.
He seems to hang out on the right side of my belly for some reason. He makes most his moves on that side of my belly!
We just can't wait to meet our new addition to our family!
Stay posted for more updates!
