Sugar!!!!

Know how when you can't have something you really want it? Yeah - deprivation is the worst. And it was totally self inflicted. I had my glucose screening yesterday and the doctor had said to avoid super sugary foods the day of because it could affect the test results. Well I really didn't want to retake that since I've heard how awful the test is, so I decided that Monday AND Sunday I wouldn't have sugar and try to avoid carbs as much as possible too. So all I wanted was sugar!!!!! In particular - I really wanted Mimi's Cafe's Buttermilk Spice Muffins. Which oh by the way I found a recipe for on-line and I am so going to make those tonight! But it was a very rough 2 days with no sugar.

The upside is that the glucose test was a piece of cake. I was horrified of having to drink the super sugary drink quickly - I'd heard it was syrupy and people gagged on it and that sort of thing. But it was just like drinking fruit punch soda. I had no problem and actually it was kind of yummy. I had to sit there for an hour and then have my blood drawn which wasn't wonderful, but at least the part I was dreading turned out to be OK. I won't get the results until Monday due to the holiday, but that's fine. If it comes back bad I don't want to know before Thanksgiving anyway :)

The rest of the doctor appointment was pretty routine. Baby's heartbeat is 154. She was not super cooperative about holding still for that though - it was pretty cute. I think its the cold jelly they put on my tummy... The doctor measured my uterus and said that was good and I found out that baby is a little piggie! She has grown a lot since the last appointment - apparently my weight gain this past month was a little higher than expected, but the doctor said that it is all baby and she just had a little growth spurt. Hopefully she doesn't keep this trend up - I'd like a normal sized baby when I have to deliver :)

So, that's the latest. Everything is going well and baby is definitely growing!
