Not exactly what I wanted to hear

I had another dr. appointment today. The first thing is to get on the scale. I start looking at how she is sliding the weight and was thinking it was going way higher than I thought it should. I gained 6 pounds - in 2 weeks!!!! She told me not to stress out about it. It could be water. Great.

Then the nurse used the doppler to hear the heartbeat (apparently it was between 140 and 150). She says, "So, you're having a boy?" Um, no, we're having a girl. Her reply, "I wouldn't buy all pink." Um, we have her name hung on the wall? Do we change it to Ken and make it blue? Robert says if it is a boy he is going to have identity issues and wonder what in the world this Makenna thing is that we've been calling him. I told Robert we could tell him that Makenna is Indian for sweet baby boy.

So then the nurse comes back and says I had sugar in my urine - which I have had almost every time I've been. And even though I passed the 1 hr. glucose test a number of weeks ago, they had to check. So, I got my finger pricked - it was normal.

Apparently my blood pressure was elevated from last time - still normal - but higher. More blood taken out of my arm. I'm pretty good at giving blood now! The dr. thinks it will come back normal, but just to make sure.

All in all, I suppose it wasn't a bad appointment, but the weight gain is throwing me! And to top it off, I go to make the next appointment for 2 weeks - Dr. Alexander will be here that day. He's the one that gets on to you about weight! Oh, how about Thursday? (Me trying to be sneaky.) Oh, he will be here Thursday too. Great. Can't wait for that appointment - right after Thanksgiving!
