28-Week Appointment

Hard to believe another 4 weeks have already passed. The Little Man was doing great today. His heartbeat was 150 and he's head down. I had my 1-hour screening test for gestational diabetes and did not pass. The cutpoint was 140 and I was at 147 this morning. So I have to go Tuesday morning to do a the more definitive 3-hour glucose tolerance test. Let's hope for the best, as there are a lot of false positives with the screening test. I just hope I'm one of those.

I got to meet the first female doctor in the practice I go to, Dr. Riddenhour, this morning. She has officially broken up the "all boys club"...you go girl!!!! I really liked her and she has a son about the same age as Piper so we had a good time sharing stories.

She said she wasn't too concerned about my 1-hour glucose tolerance test results and that chances are the 3-hour test would come out fine. More on Tuesday...
