Doctor's Appointment

I had a doctor's appointment today. It started with me being late for my glucose test! Then drinking that yummy drink. Funny, I really do not think that the "drink" is gross at all. Unlike most Mommas I thought the SMALL dose of orange drink I had with Cannon tasted like orande soda and was not unpleasant at all. But today, I was faced with this HUGE bottle of Fruit Punch. It wasn't huge, it was 50ml but I am 95%sure that the drink I had while preggo with Cannon was AT LEAST half the size of this one. Got through the first half just fine, then Sheryl told me I only had 2 minutes left! WHAT??? So with the pressure of having to dirnk the rest FAST, it made me want to vomit a little. I think I even gagged on my last swallow. I am not crazy about fruit flavored drinks to start with... did I mention that it was HUGE bottle? I felt nauseous my entire visit.

Then I went in to see my nurse. I have gained 9 pounds so far. She checked my blood pressure and said it is HIGH today!!

Dr. Hamilton came in and asked about my blood pressure I blamed it on that glucose drink and the fact that I had to rush to get to the office. I really think my rushing made it high. She made me hang out for a little while and checked it again. It went down but not a lot. She asked if I had high blood pressure with Cannon...Nope! So she told me she wanted to see me in 2 weeks instead of 4 to check my bp again.

We will also schedule my c-section then too! So we will know a birthday for our little boy!

Pray my bp was just my "rush" to the office and nothing else. :)

Mine always went up like that. They don't seem very high esp. if the lower one was 80. I am sure drinking that stuff and having that in your stomach is enough to raise your BP.. UK! I don't like flavored drinks either.. esp. punch. Prayers! Not much longer!

Yea, that drink is not so fun. And it makes you jittery. I'll be praying for you and your blood pressure. And you are a skinny minny, I bet you are all belly!
