I'm "not sweet"...

...which is a good thing. I went to the doctor for my glucose test yesterday and my blood sugar was 88. I believe it's supposed to fall between 70 and 120, or something like that.

The first nurse who pricked my finger must have been new, because she gave it a pretty good squeeze and it bled A LOT... Too much actually, so I had to go wash my hands and have a different nurse re-prick me. I heard her telling the other nurse, "It's okay. Pregnant women bleed a lot." I guess so, because I've never seen that much blood come out of a pricked finger before. (But it makes sense because my blood volume is double what it normally is.)

I've never seen their office that busy before either. It was packed. Usually I've always been in and out of that place, but yesterday I spent two hours there - just to get my blood pressure taken, pee in a cup, prick my finger, weigh me, and measure my belly. On the bright side, I really liked the doctor I saw. I wouldn't mind having any of the doctors I've met so far deliver Baby C. They've all been really friendly and make me feel comfortable around them.

Feeling good. Getting big. I've gained 20 lbs already, a little of which may have gone to my usual weight-gaining places (butt and legs), but I think the majority is all in the front. Yesterday the doctor told me I looked like Olive Oil with a basketball belly. Hopefully that means a lot of it will go away on its own after he's born. Only 11 weeks or so until he arrives... Yikes!
