We had an OB appointment this morning at 8:45. We were scheduled for just a visit. Checked weight, blood pressure, Jordan's heart rate & measured my belly. Everything is fabulous!!! My glucose tolerance test came back normal...which means I do not have gestational diabetes :-) Great news...we were just assuming I had it, because of everything else that has gone on.
Dr. Holbrook said the meds & monitor are working great. We aren't going to change anything. We'll continue bed rest & weekly OB visits. If I feel any cramping or back pain to let her know ASAP and we'll do a cervical length ultrasound. Otherwise, we'll just keep having quick normal OB appointments.
I was very excited to be a "normal" patient today. I was in the office for 25 minutes. I'm usually there for almost 2 hours...so, it was nice for a change.
Other news in the Helgerson house...Nate put together the crib, dresser & painted Jordan's princess room. Nate also washed all the clothes, while I got to fold & hang. We kept laughing at how little all the clothes are. Jordan's crib bedding, decor & pictures for the wall will all be in this week. Her room is looking great, still lots to do. We have 3 more baby showers so I'm not going to organize to my full potential until we have everything. Haha. I'm so proud of Nate for all of his hard work on the nursery & all of his love & support through all of the craziness this pregnancy has brought us.
We are both very excited that things are starting to go well. We have 10 weeks from today for our due date of October 19th (Nate's birthday). We could go earlier, but we'd like to make it to full term. So...the more laying around the better! We will keep you all posted as usual. Hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer.
