Dr. Appt.

Well, I survived my 28 week appointment in spite of getting stuck, poked, and shot! I drank my glucose drink this morning instead of breakfast and it really wasn't bad. It just tasted like flat orange soda. Then when I got to the doctor's office, they pricked my finger to check my glucose level as well as my iron. When the nurse came back a few minutes later with the results, she said my sugar levels were fine (about 124 I think), but my iron was really low (8.9 instead of normal 10.5) and it had been 12 something when I first got pregnant. So that was a big drop. The doctor said if I were to have the baby at this point with that low iron level, I may have to have a blood transfusion! So she prescribed me some iron pills and said to eat broccoli and/or red meat at least 4 times a week - I said I could handle that! She said she'd check it again at my next appointment which I'll start having every 2 weeks now! They also gave me my second RhoGAM shot in my bum :(
We also got to hear Caroline's heartbeat again (it was in the 140s) and the doctor measured me and said I was measuring 29 weeks (I'm about 28 1/2) so I was right on target. The Dr. asked if she'd been moving around good and we said, "Yeah, maybe too good!"

On a different note, I had another interesting encounter at the store today. This woman came up and was like, "Excuse me, ma'am" and I turned around and figured it was someone asking me if I know where something is (I get asked that a lot). Instead she said "How many months along are you?" And I told her 6 1/2 and she was like, "Oh, I'm just 3 months and not showing yet. Did it take you awhile to start showing?" So I told her I wasn't showing at 3 months either and that just in the last month or so, people actually started noticing/commenting that I was pregnant. So then she was like, "Oh, okay" and I told her congrats and all that stuff and that was it. Interesting.
