Anna accompanied me to my doctor's appointment this morning and I was relieved that we got in right away and we were out within thirty minutes—unheard of at my Texas doctor's office! We got to see Baby again and everything looked good. I asked the doctor about going on a tour of the hospital and she said Craig & I can just come whenever is convenient and someone will show us around. So we'll get that taken care of sometime in the next few weeks.
Last time I did the glucose tolerance test, waited around for 30 minutes for someone to tell me the results were "normal" and everything was fine. The first thing the doctor mentioned this time was that my result was one point above normal and she would like to do another test to be sure I don't have gestational diabetes. I'm confused why the first person said everything was fine and if it wasn't why wasn't I told to come back earlier? I think my doctor just likes to be on the safe side. At any rate, I am going back next week to do another test. I am to eat breakfast and then get the test two hours after. Now of course I'm nervous about failing! I'm definitely cutting (way) back on sweets this week and need to get back into exercising. (My workout shoes & clothes are in the sea shipment!) I guess, at this point, that's the best I can do beyond hoping for the best!
I asked her if this hospital offers 3D/4D ultrasounds and she said no, but referred me to see someone she highly recommends. So I am to go this week so I can bring the results back with me next week. (There were some measurements at my 17 week scan in the US that they technician couldn't confirm because I guess the timing was off so she wants that checked.)
I called the ultrasound place and they said that I needed to call back at 3:30 this afternoon to see if there is a time available. They don't make advance appointments, just same-day appointments. If I can't get in at a good time today we'll have to try for Sunday afternoon or sometime on Monday since Craig is in meetings tomorrow and then we have the sea shipment to deal with on Thursday. I'll make another post after the ultrasound.
