My little baby had her 6-month check-up today and she was doing fine until the Dr. wanted to check her teeth… or lack of teeth I should say. I guess she doesn’t like people stretching her mouth out, and I don’t blame her! She calmed down after I washed her hands and feet. This girl loves playing with water! I was...

Happy 12 Weeks old darling! You are such a joy to us. For the past week, you’re learning to talk to us, smile, and even roll over! After you roll over, you also start crawling. Really! You lay on your tummy and push forward with your strong legs! You’re such a big girl now. Today you had to get your vaccination shots....

Hey Baby! You’re at Week 32 and 3 Days today, and boy are you super active this week. I mean, you’re constantly moving, kicking, and punching!

I took my 2-Hour Postprandial Blood Glucose Test this morning. My doctor had mentioned to me what the test was a month ago. But since I saw a different doctor recently, the new doctor ordered the wrong test. I figured as much. I really don’t want to drink that glucose drink again. So I was stuck explaining to the lady at the...

Albert dropped me off at the hospital a little after 9am this morning. I’ve been prepping for my 3-Hour Glucose Tolerance Test for the past week now. This test is to check for the possibility of gestational diabetes. We changed my diet, so I was eating less fruits and more protein, dairy, and veggies. And last night, I stopped...
read moreI went to get my weekly shot today and the nurse wanted to talk to me about my glucose test. She said it’s a little over average an would like me to take the 3 hour test. Sigh… I was afraid of this. When I got home, I was bummed all day. Having just taken the shot didn’t help either, it just made me really tired...

So I had another doctor visit today, and it’s time for my Glucose Tolerance Test. I’ve been warned by several friends about this test. “Don’t eat any sugars the week of the test!” Well, this was the week I decided to have a cookie now and then.. but with soy milk at least! The orange drink they give...

I just got back from seeing the nurse. I have to say, these injection shots are getting more painful every week. I’m pretty sure it has to do with my lack of movement and exercise due to bedrest. But at least I get to leave the house and soak up the sun for a few minutes! Ahh, life’s little pleasures that I won’t...
read moreI had my bi-weekly doctor visit this afternoon. I’ve never been to the clinic this late in the day (4:30pm), but everyone is still happy and perky. It’s probably because they’ll be closing soon and they could go home? heh My checkup went really well. The doctor is happy with mine and my baby’s progress. But...

So last night, I mentioned to Albert how much I missed going outside and walking around. I haven’t left the house in over a week! And he had to remind me that I get to go to the hospital today to get my weekly shot. Can I say, Yay? Last week when I went, it was quiet painful since I wasn’t allowed to eat or drink...
