As I was leaving my appointment with Dr. C today I felt like I was as fabulous and glowing as the pregnant woman above. Why? Because I've only gained 4 more pounds in the past 3 weeks!!! This is good news when you go 12 weeks in a row of gaining an average of 2 pounds a week.
My total weight gain is now at 32 pounds. I do miss running and Beach Boot Camp.
They test all pregnant woman around 28 weeks for gestational diabetes, so I had that test today which involved drinking a really sweet drink and then having blood drawn an hour later. I'll get the results of that test on Monday afternoon.
I didn't ask how many calories were in that drink. I wonder why I couldn't have just eaten a half pint of Ben & Jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream instead???
Also because my blood type is RH negative I had to get an injection of RH immunoglobulin today, which prevents my body from developing antibodies that could attack Baby Carly's blood. If she is born with RH positive blood (Storm's blood type) then I'll get another one of these shots soon after I give birth.
Since I'm now in my third trimester I start seeing Dr. C every 2 weeks now. My next checkup with him is scheduled for 2/22.
