I had my glucose screening to check for gestational diabetes this week. Early Wednesday morning I had to drink 10 ounces of something orange that tasted like sugary orangeade. Twenty minutes later I felt a little nauseous but it soon passed. I haven't heard anything from the doctors so I'm assuming my blood work came back normal.
Thursday, we had another level 2 ultrasound to check Porter's kidneys. Four week ago, urine had collected in her left kidney and they wanted to make sure it was draining properly. The kidney measurements came back with in normal ranges so everything is fine. However, she measured to be 3 pounds and 6 oz....she was only a little over a pound 4 weeks ago! She's only supposed to be 2 1/2 pounds. She has gained 1/2 pound each week over the past month...she's a big girl! I can honestly say I felt HUGE last week and I was really hungry (more than usual). The doctor said she probably just went through a growth spurt and shouldn't continue to gain weight at that rate. I hope so!
The stroller and car seat came on Wednesday and I made Tim put it together that evening. I didn't realize how bulky those strollers are! Its like pushing a mini truck! Now I have this stroller and my jogger stroller (thanks to Lisa). Porter can't ride in the jogger until after 8 weeks. That should be about the time I can run again. I sure do miss running....I can't wait to start shedding all these extra pounds!
