.....went okay. Had the GD test, and the drink (I had the fruit punch) was really not that bad. Kind of like the stuff I drank when I was a kid (hawaiian punch??). Fingers crossed that I passed! I was a little irritated b/c I had to wait a long time in the waiting room, but then I found out that there was an emergency c-section, so they were down one doctor- and then I felt bad for complaining!
LO's heart rate was in the 130s, and it's been consistently low, so I'm really starting to think boy (we didn't find out with our u/s). I thought that was just an old wives' tale, but even my mw mentioned the same thing- that we could "speculate" that way, anyway. This combined with the fact that I think I saw a "lil' somethin'" on the u/s when baby flipped over unexpectedly makes me really lean towards boy, but we shall see!
Weight gain total so far: +2 lbs. But I did lose 15+ to HG, and my mw wasn't concerned about it, so....I'm going to keep eating healthy and exercising and not worry about. Her words, "you have 13 more weeks to gain weight!"
The only thing I was a little concerned about was that I measured 25, and I'm 26w6d. My mw wasn't at all worried herself- she said that +/- 2 cm is fine. Have I mentioned that I have a laid-back mw? I guess we'll see how everything is coming along in another couple of weeks!

I will ask to reschedule if I have some other appt to make it to. And if I know that the issues I want to talk to the dr about are involved, I'll mention that when I schedule the appt so they book it for longer or at the end of the day to avoid the domino effect, but sometimes things come up unexpectedly!
