Today Danni is 29 Weeks, 2 Days.
Last week I had my regular OB check. Her heart rate was 156 which is great. The doc was examining/palpating/ pressing around my belly and he states "Oh my we have a whopper in there." While I am excited she's "healthy" I'm a little afraid about what that means in terms of the watermelon through a lemon hole analogy. You get my drift.
I also went for my Gestational Diabetes test. This is where you go to one of those Lab Corp/Quest Diagnostic type places and drink this sugary concoction that reminded me of a flat Orange Crush with way more sugar. Then you wait exactly one hour and they draw your blood. This tells the doc if your body is processing sugar normally. I am happy to announce I passed. They consider anything under 130 to be normal and I was 84. This tells me my body loves sugar and that I should celebrate with a bowl of ice cream.
Yesterday I "chaperoned" Dillon's class field trip to Luizzo Produce Farms in Amite. It was pretty cool. They had pumpkin decorating, a corn maze, a tour of the farm, etc. We got to pet the animals and feed the baby cow. They even have a 5 month old zebra! I also learned the best time to buy strawberries is in the winter. By end of spring/summer, the plants are exhausted. Good to know!

How fun to get to go on a field trip. Ask them if we can borrow the zebra for decoration for your BB shower. HEHEHE. I don't think Meghan will mind.
ReplyDeletethat zebra needed a hot pink collar thingy.
