We had our follow up today at Greenville OBGYN and we were able to meet Freida who is another one of the midwives that could potentially be on call when we deliver our baby! She was just as wonderful as Michelle was at our first visit which is so refreshing and reassuring! We got to hear the baby's heart beat - 140bpm : ) and she just answered any questions or concerns that we may have. I was right on target with my weight gain and my blood pressure and heartrate were both normal.
We scheduled my glucose tolerance test for November 5th and I am so looking forward to that! Yeah right! I left with an orange-flavored drink that I have to drink the morning of the visit. I have to chug the bottle within 5 minutes and will undergo labwork about an hour after drinking it. This checks for the proper response of my glucose in order to rule out gestational diabetes as a complication during the pregnancy.
We are so blessed to be trucking right along in this pregnancy and are hopefully going to continue on an easy, fun, and exciting path. It would not be possible without the support and prayers of our family and friends! It has been a real eye-opening experience to have everyone so interested in how the baby, Dee, and I are doing, and I just thank God every night for everyone that thinks of us and cares for us. We could not ask for anything better!
