24 Weeks and 4 days

We had our 24 week appointment today, and it was the always pleasant glucose screening.   I went in at 8 am, drank some gross orange drink and waited for 1 hour, then they took my blood.  The drink made me nauseous and so that hour felt like eternity.  My blood sugar level was fine...no gestational diabetes here.   I also had a regular appointment, my BP was 119/86 and baby's HB was 130.  I am feeling the aftermath of sodium filled holiday dinners, the doctor said pregnancy makes it hard for the body to expel excess water, so drinking tons of water should help.   Plus I need to watch the sodium, if I eat McDonalds I can feel my face, lips, hand, legs and feet start to swell, it's not pleasant.  Our next appointment is January 5th and it will be the last 4 week appointment, after that it's every 2 weeks!  This baby will be here before we know it!
