Yesterday I had labs done for check for infections and to do my one hour Glucose Challenge Test. I drink something sweet, and they draw blood an hour later to check the glucose levels. It's a screen and if it comes back elevated, then I do the 3-hour Glucose Tolerance Test. Last year with Blue, the challenge test was positive, and the tolerance test was negative. This time, my challenge was also positive, so I have go in to do the tolerance test. The cutoff is 140 and my test came back 157. I wasn't surprised since a lot of us preeclamptics get gestational diabetes in the end for some reason. While I didn't get it with Blue, it was also really early on in the pregnancy. But hopefully, the tolerance test will be negative with this one as well. I think I am going to take that next weekend. The clinic didn't call me about any of the results regarding the infections or the genetic stuff. I am guessing those results aren't in yet. In other news, I have felt the baby hiccuping lately. At first I thought they were kicks, but there were too many in a row. Then I remember reading and watching a video about how I can start feeling him hiccup as he practices breathing by drinking the amniotic fluid. Other fun news: I was in bed sleeping and Frank came in after with his flashlight to read the baby a bedtime story. Snowflake was asleep. After Frank read a couple of sentences, I felt the baby kick right where Frank was talking to my belly. He kicked a few more times until the story was over. Looks like someone knows who his Daddy is.
