Sanjay has come with me to every doctor's appointment so far and I am so thankful for that. Yesterday we had a glucose test and iron test. I drank a sugary orange drink, that was actually pretty good, and waited an hour then they took my blood to test for gestational diabetes. They also checked my iron levels. I called to find the results of the tests and thank God my sugar levels are within normal range (below 140). My iron is low, which is pretty normal, but my doctor suggested an iron pill. I am going to try very hard to eat more leafy green veggies and lean red meat everyday. We made another ultrasound appointment to see if the placenta has moved up (hopefully it has) for next month. I can't wait to see my little guy again. I am measuring right at 25 which is right where I'm supposed to be at 25 weeks. I have gained a total of 9 pounds so far and am feeling pretty good these days.
Sanjay and I are really enjoying or prenatal classes and learning a lot. Tonight Sanjay had to wear a 30 pound backpack on his chest to feel what it is like carrying the extra weight. He was pretty funny while attempting to tie his shoe.

OMG! The shoe tying at the end of your pregnancy is the absolute worst! I always cried when Bryan left town bc I had no one to tie my shoes! I'm glad your classes are going well and YAY you passed the glucose test! Just take an iron pill and you'll be all good! I'm hoping and praying that your placenta is moved up at your next appt!
