Doctor Appointment Update

We finally had a doctor appointment after almost two months. The new hospital, nurses and doctor were amazing! I am now thankful we had to change!!!

We first met with a nurse. She sat us down and went through everything. This was never done at the previous hospital. It was nice to have someone talk you through all this new (being pregnant) information. Even though I am already 27 1/2 weeks along. After that I had my glucose test. I had to drink a real syrupy orange drink...that I actually enjoyed! I had a blood test an hour later. My number came back at 150, perfect! That means I don't have gestational diabetes!! Yeah!

I then met with the doctor. She wanted to learn all about Andy and I, and also told us a little about her. She went to school at the UofM and was actually Goldie the Gopher (the mascot) Funny! She measured me at 28 weeks and gave me another RhoGAM shot. I am Rh-negative so this means my blood may not mesh with babies blood, causing my body to fight it. This shot supposedly will help this. I had one at 8 weeks as well.

Our 4 hours at the hospital actually went fast, and good! :)
