It's a GIRL!!--for sure!

Well, this morning was my dr. appointment where I had to drink the orange sugary drink. I drank it in about 3 or 4 minutes and actually it wasn't too bad! The bad part was having to drink it so fast and not have any water or anything to eat. So, I go in and since the ultrasound tech. had a few minutes before her first appointment, she said she would just do our ultrasound if I didn't mind. That way I wouldn't have to go back this afternoon, for my actual appointment. This was the first appointment I didn't have Travis go to because I figured that there was no reason he needed to go and watch me have my blood drawn for the glucose test, but I figured, oh well! He's seen all of the ultrasounds before this so it would be ok.

Well, the last time I had an ultrasound (and had eaten a normal breakfast), I got hot and lightheaded laying there flat on my back so I should've been cautious! What was I thinking? With no food in me and a full bottle of sugar, it only took about 3 minutes and I realized I needed to sit up. She was like, "Didn't this happen to you last time?" --very nicely, of course and got me a cool paper towel. :) Then the room started getting black and my ears felt numb. I REALLY thought I was going to pass out (or vomit). She helped me stand up and yelled for a nurse. All I could think was, 'GREAT! I'm going to pass out and Travis isn't here!!' After a few minutes it started to pass but I was still feeling icky! She tried to get a few 'cutesy' sono pics but I wasn't feeling too comfortable trying again (this time I sat partially up). She said to stop in next time and if she has time, she'll get us some more. Anyway, we DID get confirmation that IT'S A GIRL!! We were chatting at first about how we are doing the nursery and she said that we are pretty safe with the pink! YAY! The picture just looks like a big blob to me but she said she saw the girl parts. :)

After we were done, the nurse got me some crackers with peanut butter and an M&M cookie (I felt special!) and some water and I was feeling much better! Hopefully my reaction doesn't mean anything and my test will come back ok and I won't have gestational diabetes! I forgot to ask when I'll know, but I'm assuming within a week.

Bring on the pink!!!!! oh wait---it's already been "Brought-en" :)
