So I just had my monthly visit at the clinic today and I had to drink the glucola for my glucose test. I was actually a little bit late. For some reason, I wrote 1:15PM in my phone calendar instead of exactly 1PM. I drank the glucola at exactly 12:30noon following the instruction paper (45 minutes before the appointment). I was confident that I will be early for the 1:15PM appointment, too late when JJ called me and asking me if I was already on my way. Oh well, no biggy because unlike last time where the office was full packed, I was the only patient this time around.
As usual, they checked my weight and my blood pressure and everything was perfect. They've been asking questions if I felt anything weird for the last month and all I could think of was the headache's here and there, I also felt pain in my calf lately. I was told to drink plenty of water hehehe I know I am bad at that. I hate drinking water. I can only manage to drink at least 4 glasses of water and 1 glass of that was the coffee/milk combination for my breakfast. For my calves, I was told to just massage it, maybe do some stretching but I tell you what I've been doing (going up and down the stairs!) It seems to work! I also have a hard time getting a good sleep and the attempt to take a nap in the afternoon doesn't work! Ughh, I hate faking a nap! They also hear the baby heart beat, it was normal at 160bpm. Then, the NP measured my belly. I also asked if its ok for me to get a deep hair moisturizer at a salon, well according to her so far there was no study that those chemicals that salon's use have a bad side effect. So, I guess I could get a little makeover pretty soon, eh?
After that, the nice old lady who's in-charge of the blood test called and ushered me to her room and extracted 2 vials of blood. She's really nice and a sweetheart. She asked how my name is being pronounced and then mentioned about my date of birth which is July 4th 1976! I kidded her that I am destined to live here in the United States, LOL! And then she became nosey hehehe okay since she is nice, let me call it "curiosity" instead, 'coz she asked where I am from and where JJ and I met! JJ also asked her if there is any chance that they will be doing any ultra-sound before the baby is due and she said that so far, according to her observations, unless the pregnancy is at high-risk they won't be doing any u/s anymore from here on, unless we wanna do those 3D u/s where we have to pay extra moolah for it.
My next visit to the clinic from here on is every 2 weeks! Yikes! Right now, I am on my 29th weeks and 6 days. I have also signed up for my birthing class which will be at the Bethel Road Office. Overall, the visit was pretty smooth.
I actually visited the girls at my previous work today. I kind of miss them. I went to get food and shared with them and waited Lyn to get off from work. It's been awhile since I saw her. Oh and guess what they told me??? Haha! I was so flattered. They said my face still looked the same as before. Meaning I did not swell and looked uglier! I will take that as a compliment, thank you very much!
