Today was not so much fun for this momma. I got to have another 3-hour gestational diabetes test and another size > date sonogram. Our midwife is being extra cautious about our pregnancy since we are going to a freestanding birth center and she doesn't want anything to cause us to be transferred to a hospital during labor. I am happy that she is making sure to dot her i's and cross her t's (since our last one couldn't even read a 4 vs a 14) but redoing all these tests is. not. fun.
The lab nurse who had to take my blood over and over today must have apologized 40 times. She missed my vein once and my whole arms aches. She had to repoke me one other time because no blood was flowing out. It was almost comical. It is cruel to make a 37 week pregnant woman fast and then get poked so much. I hope I pass the test!
The sonographer was really great. She explained a lot and kept showing us our baby's fat rolls. We also got to see the hair sticking off his head and the shot below is of his lips, nose and chubby cheeks. The predicted weight is 8lbs 4 oz (+/- 1), getting bigger everyday. The measurements translated to a 38 week 6 days baby, almost 3 weeks farther along than we are calculating.
He doesn't act like he is coming early but one can only hope!
