6 More Doctor Visits Left!

Last Friday I went to EIRMC to do my glucose testing. I was given all sorts of advice, but when I gave them my slip they opened the mini fridge and gave me the orange drink. That was the flavor I was told to stay away from. hahhaa.. Truth be told.. I didn't think it was that horrible. I just downed it as fast as possible and waited patiently for the hour to pass by. Next time i think I'm bringin a buddy to taht testing, because an hour feels like forever when you are by your self. It wasn't till the hour was about over that I started to feel kind of yucky. I don't think my buddy likes that much sugar in my system all at once. They drew my blood and then i was done.

Well today I finally got around to going back to the doctor's office to get the report on my glucose test and to get my rogham shot. Everything checked out normal. She said that I'm not low in iron, my sugar count was at 68 which is a little lower than average. She says I could eat more protein and carbs to help that.. but that I can basically do what I'm doing now cause I'm healthy. I'm Blood Type O negative, and so I have to get a shot during my 28th week; so my body doesn't hurt the baby. Well I got that done and I won't lie... I am not a fan of the needles. The last time I got this shot the nurse shoved the needle on my side and I was sore for awhile. This time I barely felt the needle. I think it's because I have the best OB nurse in the world.

Well while I was at the doctors office I asked her what Dr. Oldroyds views were with the H1N1 vaccine. And she said that he is strongly recommending his patients to get the vaccine because pregnant woman are a high risk. They are getting the vaccines through the syringe not the nasal by next week or in two weeks. So I need to make up my mind within a week or two on whether or not I will accept the vaccination. I'm normally okay with getting vaccinated, but I'm nervous sense this is a new vaccine, and how can they test for side effects to pregnant woman in such a short time, or what it could do to my baby when she gets older. I'm trying to do some research online but I haven't found anything real so far. So if anyone knows of any legit Medical articles that can help me with this decision email it to me!

Well that is the baby update so far. I hope you enjoy the little video I made.. it's my nursery so far. It's still a work in progress, but my mom has been dying to see what I've done so far so here it is! I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
