And it begins...

Besides the little bit of morning sickness and some sinus issues, all has been well.  That's over...

The third trimester brought with it bad blood and more hormones!!!  My 28 week appointment was the most eventful so far.  I found out that I'm anemic, my glucose tolerance is abnormal, and I am RH negative (already knew that).  However, each of those results means I have to take iron (expeinsive pharmacy iron),  go through another fasting glucose screening test (for three hours on my day off at 6:45 AM), and get a very painful shot in my arm (just in case).  The raging hormones are causing me to have more rage than ever.  Hopefully my blood pressure won't be the next to go bad.  It was perfect yesterday, but my weight...that's another story.  I gained 6.5 lbs. in 2 weeks, and that means I have hit the 20 lb. mark!!!  I was hoping that wouldn't happen quite yet.  Looks like she's gonna be a big girl.

You'll be in my prayers. I hope the first glucose test was just a glitch and that the second one turns out better.
