12-Week appointment

Today I had my 12 week appointment, the doctors office was quite busy today. I waited a long time to be seen and then I had to do the 1 hour blood sugar glucose test today to test for gestational diabeties. When I arrived in the examination room, I first had to do my usual urine sample, followed by weight check, and blood pressure check. After that I was asked to drink the ultra sugary lemon lime drink, which basically tastes like a super sweet sprite. It was disgusting but much better than the orange flavor. After I drank my drink, the doctor eventually came in to check for a heartbeat. Since the doctor could not find a heartbeat with the doppler, they had to bring in the ultrasound machine again. I got to see my little baby on the screen again, it was so cool, I saw the head and little body, it was moving around and the heartbeat was strong and detected right away. I did not get any pictures this time :( but it was still pretty cool to see. I then scheduled my next two appointments, and waiting patiently for the 1 hour to be up so that I could get my blood drawn. I will not get the results until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
