Glucose Update and cramps

Well I finally got the call back from my glucose test results...I am good! :) Blood levels look good, no gestational diabetes. The day that they called me I had been cramping. They seemed to be getting stronger as the day went along. So I go to my "what to expect book" and I notice that it does say that cramps are typical this month, but then it said if they become worse, intense or severe you should call your doctor. So since they called me I mentioned it to them. The nurse said I was probably fine but if I wanted to come in the next day (Wednesday) I could come in at 2:30 just to check me out and reassure me. So of course I went! I was really not that worried, but I figured I was off work, why not just go in and get some reassurance. Well, my doctor was not working so I had to see the doctor on call, Dr. Thornberg. She was fine and nice. She just checked my cervix again, listened to heart beat, checked blood pressure and asked questions. I looked great she said. She did mention drinking fluids. I seemed to be a little dehydrated, which was probably the cause of the sharper pains. She said I need 12 cups of fluid a day. I know I have not been getting that. Drinking is not something I am good at-drinking anything. I am fine with water, which I know some people have a hard time drinking it. I actually got an app on my phone that I use to count my water intake. It has helped, but I still do not reach my water goal for the day. I must do better. I will seriously be living in the bathroom now, as if I wasn't already :) As she left she said enjoy plenty of those water cocktails! Oh let me back up a few minutes...I asked her if she would measure me before she left? She said I do not measure until 28 weeks, have you already been measured? I said yes, last week and I measured big so I was just wanting to see what you measured me at. She said what did you measure? I said 30 weeks. She said no way! "Ok, well I have to measure you now. We will not put it in your chart or tell Dr. Macey and I will just see what I get". So I laid back and she measured me. Then she says, well yeah you are measuring right at 31. Which still has me measuring 7 weeks ahead! Remember in last post Dr. Macey said he is not that big, but definitely ahead of schedule. I am having another ultrasound January 24th to get a more accurate measurement of Cole. I will let you know what this big boy is measuring then. I am so thankful about my blood results and that everything is checking out great! Thank you Lord!

Brad, Craig and I at grandmothers for Christmas. Just wanted to show you the big ole belly he measured.
