Yesterday someone finally told me that I looked like I was glowing. That took long enough. I have felt miserable so far this whole pregnancy and yesterday and today I finally feel great. I think I look great too. My belly is nicely rounding out and I just feel happy now. Hopefully things will stay that way, but knowing me we'll see.
I had my monthly Dr. visit yesterday morning and it went well. I was so excited to see that I only gained 2 pounds since my last visit. That put me in a very good mood.
I saw one of the female residents instead of my regular doctor. I always thought I would like a female doctor better, but I actually prefer the men. The female resident is not as sensitive and doesn't take as much time with me as the male residents and my male doctor. The resident made a comment about my baby measuring too big at my ultrasound and that I needed to watch that. Um, my regular doctor had not been worried that Gage was like 2oz more than average because the due date can be a week or so wrong, but this resident thought it was a big deal. Oh well, I'm not worried at all. The good thing about the resident is that she scheduled me for another ultrasound next month. She said that we should check to see if the calcium in Gage's heart is gone and she wanted to check his size. I can't wait until my next appointment! I found out that my doctor also does an ultrasound at 36 weeks to check size. I can't believe that I get 4 ultrasounds. I love being able to feel Gage move in my belly, but nothing beats seeing him.
Since I am now 24 weeks I have to get my glucose test done soon to test for gestational diabetes. The doctor gave me a bottle of nasty glucola to drink for the test. I think I'll get it done on Monday. I just have to drink the bottle and then go over to the hospital and have my blood taken. They are also going to test my blood count and thyroid levels just to make sure all is well. I'm not worried about the glucose test as I have always had low blood sugar and doubt I will have diabetes.
The OB is also sending me to see my regular doctor for my asthma. My breathing has not been the best lately and the resident said that my risk of a major asthma attack goes up this month. They want to put me on a preventive medication to keep my breathing under control. Since I am a short person with a short torso, Gage really doesn't have anywhere to go and it squishes my lungs up into my body causing my breathing to get harder as the pregnancy progresses.
Gage is still moving all around. He loves to kick my bladder especially when I am trying to sleep. I have been feeling him near my belly button too. I can't believe how active he is.
Yesterday Greg had a job interview with a company that is only 5 minutes from our house. He was worried that the interview didn't go well, but he got a call today telling him that they were impressed and they are bringing him in next week to meet with the CEO. The job is now between him and 2 other candidates. Greg is really excited as this is a much better job than he currently has. It is a management position which is what he has ultimately wanted to do.
Speaking of job interviews, I had one today as well. I received a call a few days ago from a woman that had been given my resume. I had sent my resume to a local domestic violence shelter and they passed it on to a crisis intervention organization. They work with children that have been witnesses to violence. The job sounds so perfect. The hours are Sunday-Wednesday 12-9pm. Gage would only have to be in daycare 3 days a week from 11-5:30 (since Greg could pick him up after work). The people were friendly and the work sounds interesting. I'll find out next week if I made it for a second interview or not.
Keep us both in your prayers. I'm not stressing about the jobs as I know God will work things out for us. If we are meant to get the jobs than we will, if not that's ok too.
