Drink Me...

Today was my Gestational Diabetes test. I had been staring at the bottle of red liquid sitting in our refrigerator for 4 weeks now reading the directions not once, not twice but about 50 times before the day of testing. So this morning I opened the bottle and starting drinking. Hmmmm...not to bad. It taste's a little like watered down fruit punch. Took some more gulps and Yuck! This stuff leaves a sugar grainy taste in my mouth. Jeremy was laughing while I was drinking. He told me it was all in my head (which I completely agree with him on that) Just knowing something like this came from the Doctors Office made me think instantly that it was medicine. I chugged the remaining liquid and gagged. Oh Goodness, sometimes I can be a little bit of a baby. Hahaha! The nurse drew some blood (not one of my favorite things) and then we heard Mazie's strong, fast and healthy heartbeat. We are so excited!!! We have our last 4 week appointment in June and then we are going every 2 weeks :) I swear, I hype myself up for every appointment, I get so excited to see or hear Mazie and then it ends in 10 minutes and then I have to wait another 4 weeks. I can't wait till the 2 week appointments start.

Love,
Kristin

It finally hit me....

That I'm having a baby in 4 months!
It hit me while I was leaving work on Friday. I was walking to my car and I realized I will be having a little baby soon. Not only are we having a baby that we are going to take care of and love, but Mazie will be my pride & joy, my constant worry and the love of my life. It made me happy and scared at the same time. Then I started thinking about the birth, whether to get the epidural or to go natural. For some people that don't know me very well, I love, love, love horror movies and love being scared, but the bloody parts are not for me and I hate needles and giving blood. I really get lightheaded every time. I know it's all in my head, but how do I fight it? I really want to go natural but I'm afraid if I can't push enough or am in to much pain they will have to do a c-section. And I am not for C-Sections. Being awake during the tugging, ripping and pulling, I DON'T THINK SO! I would be scarred for life! My next appointment is in 2 weeks and I will be meeting with my doctor to discuss my birth plan (hopefully) also I am taking the dreaded Diabetes test. I've heard it sucks from friends, so I am hoping they made it sound more worse then it really is.
Love,
Kristin
