Oh Baby Rambles...

I had my glucose test done yesterday.
I felt like royal shite all day, I was very weak and very moody.
Joy to all!
The stuff was disgusting. Point blank. Disgusting.
I pray I passed. I passed with Cyler and I didn't have to do any weird "don't eat this, that or this" back in 2004 so we'll see what happens. It was really hard considering I've turned my life around a great deal diet wise since being pregnant with Cyler and now fruits are a large part of my diet (esp.breakfast) since I don't eat processed foods or fake sugars.

My regular OB is on her honeymoon. Poor girl got married in March and is just now getting to take her honeymoon!

Anyways this new guy was alright. Nothing invasive, typical measuring of the uterus and asking of questions. Then he said it, any bleeding or contractions, fluid leaking? My reply:
Ah, no, YES, and no.
Truth is I've been having contractions for a month.
But they are very hmmm, short?
They weren't very intense, until this week.
And, they're beginning to happen a little more and more each day,
along with a lot of pressure from the baby's head.

The Dr says it's totally normal since I've had a baby recently (apparently in Dr land recently is 2005) the bones in your pelvis do not reshape, I mean to a degree they do, but everything is much more lax, including your muscles, cervix and uterus.
Which explains already feeling all that great pressure beginning to push down on me.
My two week appointments have officially started.
ALREADY!
I'm not ready for that, I am not ready for this.
I have these little milestone goals now:
Like, making it to 30 weeks, and then 32 weeks, and then 34 weeks.
The Dr told me if I go into labor anytime after 36 weeks (Nov 11th) there not going to try to stop it, but try not to worry about delivering early because right now all of my numbers are great.

Numbers?
that's right, he said numbers.
My numbers are great so don't go worrying.
Which fine, I'll buy that, I am not a Dr, you are.
But numbers??
Screw that Motherly intuition in the pit of my stomach that says:
This baby is going to come early.
I'm just working on keeping him in there long enough, lung maturity would be nice you know...
