Glucose Tolerance Test

Today I went in for my 26 week appointment and glucose tolerance test. The appointment was simple of course. Weighed, urinalysis, talked about concerns. I told the nurse that I was concerned that I may have a bladder and/or urinary tract infection because I get these intense urges to urinate like my bladder is about to explode, yet when I get on the toilet a lot of the times only a few dribbles will come out. She told me that I didn't have an infection and it's more than likely the way the baby is positioned in the uterus. I guess our little girl likes to squish my bladder because this feeling is ongoing and throughout the day.
Weight gain, or lack thereof. I only gained 1lb! I was very happy. I'm praying that baby continues to grow and develop normally but my weight gain has come to a halt.
Blood pressure normal.
Glucose tolerance test., hopefully normal. I drank the glucola relatively quickly. I did feel nausea about 10 minutes later, and I hope that's not an indication of failure. We will find out next week though.

Quotes



These are the years, the gentle years,the soft and sentimental years
when wee little fingers reach and touch
and little eyes gaze with wonder and trust,
when you love so tenderly and so so much,
these are the gentle years.

These are the years, the rainbow years, the quiet, walk-on-tiptoes years,
the years of laughter and smiles and sighs
when both of you watch with misty eyes the tiny bed
where a cherub lies,
these are the rainbow years.

These are the years, the tender years, the blissful, sweet-surrender years,
when your little treasure from above
is the soul and purpose and center of your plans and dreams and dearest love,
these are the tender years.
