End of Second Trimester!

We went to the doctor today and did a bunch of stuff. They measured my weight again (I had gained 4 lbs, perfect!) and measured the size of my uterus which was also right on track. Listened to his heart beat (140 beats/minute, same as last time).

Then I went down to the lab and pounded an orange soda for a pregancy diabetes test (you drink the soda and then an hour later they draw your blood and measure your bodies ability to process the sugar). After I drank the soda, we ran off to get an ultrasound to see if my placenta had moved off my cervix. (For those of you who don't know, this happened before we started blogging, but we discovered my placenta was on top of my cervix which, if it stays that way, requires us to get a C-section though 98% of the time it moves). I'm not sure if it had moved enough, the tech wouldn't say but I am hopefull because she did say "looks good" kind of under her breath.



He was growing great, by ultrasound his due date this time was September 14th (it has been either the 14th or the 15th every time they look, so he is growing very consistently). I then went back to the lab and got my blood drawn (never my favorite thing to do). And that was it!

So we will have to wait and see about the placenta, and the gestational diabetes till the tests get back, but all and all I think it was a good visit.
