28w1d - I Passed!!!

Today was my Glucose Tolerance Test and I passed. They were looking for 140 or under, and my number was 101! I'm so excited! My hemoglobin is a little low though, so I picked up a bottle of Iron to help with that. I made sure to ask the pharmacist if there is such a thing as too much Iron in pregnancy and she assured me that since my OB said to get extra Iron, that the extra 361% in 1 tablet wouldn't be too much as some people actually take 3 tablets a day. That number just sort of freaked me out for a second!

Despite what my mother keeps telling me, Baby Girl is measuring right on (well, at least the belly is) at just over 28cm. My mom keeps saying that I'm huge. I don't feel huge by any means. Baby girl must have gotten a bit of a sugar rush after I drank the Glucose drink because her heart rate was a bit higher than it has been lately at 156/bpm and she was moving quite a bit while I waited for the test hour to be up.

The doctor felt around a bit trying to find her, but couldn't tell what position she is in. So now I'll actually be going back in 2 weeks because when I scheduled the next appointment last time, it ended up being 5 weeks out and being firmly into the 3rd trimester, they don't like to go so long between appointments. So, we're adding an appointment in 2 weeks, I'll go 3 weeks after that, then only one more 2 week appointment and then the weekly appointments start! I have appointments booked through the end of May! That only leaves two more weeks before her due date! Eeeks! Time is really starting to go fast now!

And finally, the quilt is done! I didn't end up quilting it like I wanted to. Instead, it's just tied. So while I'm happy to have completed my first quilt, it isn't everything that I had hoped for. Next time I'll have the experience of this one behind me and that should help with the overall project. One thing we noticed was that there wasn't enough contrast in the colors so I added the applique butterflies to the center piece to give it a little 'pop'. Here it is.
