I am definitely starting to show a lot more. I'm wondering how much bigger I'm going to get.
Last week we had another doctor appointment. It was mostly just the normal check my blood pressure, listen to Peanut's heart, and ask/answer questions. I did also have to have my glucose tolerance test which meant I had to drink this really really sweet stuff and have my blood drawn an hour later. I ended up getting a horrible headache and stomachache from all the sugar and then slept for 3 hours. I got a call from the nurse yesterday that said my levels looked fine though so I don't have to go in for another test or start treatment for gestational diabetes. She did tell me though that my iron levels were pretty low and that I need to start taking an iron pill. Not a big deal, just another thing to add to my morning cocktail of prenatal supplements. I am having a problem getting the pill from the pharmacy though. I went yesterday to pick it up and they said that they didn't have any of that one in stock so they were just going to give me something similar. When I asked if it was cleared through my doctor she said no, but that it would be fine. I was very adamant that she call my doctor and ask since I was pregnant and a lot of meds are not safe for me. She just looked at me and was like "oh wow, I'm sorry I didn't know you were expecting. Yeah, you can't take anything besides the one your doctor prescribed." How did she not know I was pregnant? I was wearing the same dress that I am wearing in the above picture. Anyway, now they are trying to find some of the correct stuff for me, but it could take several days. I'm glad this isn't something life threatening that I needed right away.
I guess I will update on what else is going on with us that isn't baby related. I am back to working 6 days a week for awhile. Hopefully it will only be till the end of September, but who knows. I am completely exhausted from it, but my coworkers are very understanding when I need to take a break to put my feet up or get something to eat. I'm sure the over time pay will be helpful in the coming months. This past weekend was the last that Zoombezi Bay was open. This week Sean is working there to help clean stuff up and put stuff into storage for the winter, but for the most part is done there and only working at Buffalo Wild Wings now. He is starting to get more shifts at the bar there instead of serving which is quite exciting.
I am going to try to start taking pictures of the nursery in the next few weeks so everyone can see how it is coming together.
