To be 27 weeks Pregnant

So what's the deal on being 27 weeks pregnant, you might wonder or ask? Well it's becoming more and more uncomfortable to do the basic things such as tying my shoe laces....Aaaarrggghh. Turning over in bed is also a bit of a pain in the arse...

On the upside I'm now in the last trimester of my pregnancy....Woot, Woot. It's very exciting knowing that in less than a few months I will be holding my baby...and after that "Susan's baby making bank" will file for bankruptcy....LOL. Meaning no more babies coming from this body of mine. If I had started having babies earlier in life then for sure I would be happy with having one more.

I went for my Gestational Diabetes test last week on Wednesday and a huge part of me was really really nervous about what the outcome of the results would be. Reason being is, when I became pregnant this time around I was still lugging around extra weight from when I had Emma (5 years ago) yes I know.

Days and nights leading to the test were very sleepless for me. I found myself waking up at 3:00am and of course reading articles on the symptoms of Gestational Diabetes. All the articles mentioned being overweight was one of the symptoms and of course that scared the living crap out of me.

Wednesday crawled around and I went to my midwives office early....(the other advantage of having a midwife is that they do all the tests in the convenience of their office). I got there and guess what my midwife was at a birth and the back up midwife took great care of me.

I had to fast for 12 hours the night before and they drew one vile of blood from me. After that she gave me this extremely sweet and sugary orange drink. And let me tell you, drinking this stuff on an empty stomach is a shock to the system. After that I had to wait for an hour and then she took another vile of blood and I had to wait again for another hour before the last vile of blood was drawn.

If you want to read more on Gestational Diabetes here is the link http://www.babycenter.ca/pregnancy/complications/diabetes/. So when my midwife called me the next day to advise me that my results were NEGATIVE, I was thrilled and I was like.....thank goodness this 41 year old body is working pretty good for it's age.

So what other tests are on the horizon, I have one more ultrasound that I have to go at 30 weeks to check the baby's lungs to make sure that they are both functioning well. I on the other hand look at it as making the world of science happy. I honestly don't think my mother went for all these tests when she was pregnant with me.

That's all for now people.....all is well in Utero and I will make sure that my partner takes another a picture of me 27 weeks pregnant so I can post it on here for you all to see how my bump is expanding.....:)
