Glucose

Well I have a lot to update you on.  Sorry it's been so long.  First we went to Florida for vacation few weeks ago and first day there I got a UTI.  Called my midwife luckily she was on call since it was Sunday.  She called me in an antibiotic but by the time we picked it up I had a lot of pain in my right kidney.  I then started researching urgent care clinics because the midwife said if it became a kidney infection I'd have to go somewhere.  There was one my insurance covered and was open on Sundays, so off we went.  What a great start to vacation.  There was no one there so we didn't have to wait thank god because I was in a lot of pain.  The doctor said there was no other antibiotic he could give me because I was pregnant and allergic to penicillin and sulfa.  He did give me some UTI pain medicine that helped.  We didn't get to do a lot on vacation tho but our resort had the beach and pools right there so we enjoyed those.  The few places we went I was sore by the time we were done.

I am feeling better now so I'm hoping it doesn't come back.  I never had a UTI before and it was worse then I imagined.  I think delivering this baby boy will be the same way ....worse then I think.

Had my one hour glucose test and appt with my midwife on Friday.  I had a feeling I wouldn't pass and I didn't.  So I am sitting at the hospital right now doing my 3 hour test.  Had my blood drawn 4 times already one more to go.  I really hope I pass this one.

I am 27 weeks now but measuring 29 weeks.  Everything else at my appt went fine.  I go back in 4 weeks then she wants to start appts every two weeks.  I am not looking forward to that.  I have to drive over an hour to the midwife and it's a 15 min appt.  I have to take a whole day off of work just for that.

We think we have baby boy's name down to 4.  It will be Keagan, Rayden, Greyson, or Geordan.  His middle name is James.  That was easy to decide.  Wish the first name was that easy.  If you have opinions I'd love to hear them!

I will let you know my glucose test results.  Really hoping I don't have gestational diabetes.
