I went to the hospital to do my GTT (see previous post). It wasn’t as difficult as I expected. For some reason I wasn’t hungry at all. After the first blood collection and a very tasty glucose drink we has to wait 2 hours for the second blood collection. Luckily the hospital organised things so I could do the ultrasound and see the doctor in between so we kept busy. The results should be back next week but I’m sure they will be fine. The ultrasound was fine, she is of normal size and doing well. Of course that being Tubbs, she hid her face so we couldn’t take a picture but we didn’t mind too much. We’ll be seeing it live soon .

The doctor was the slowest doctor I’ve ever seen. At first I thought it was because he was foreign (sounded like a germanish accent) and wasn’t very comfortable with English, but even writing down the notes took ages. Very odd. I was supposed to see him about the latex allergy but the only thing he asked me was what made me think I was allergic and that was that. I’m not sure if it’s because of the allergy or the possibility of diabetes but I am being followed by both the midwife and a hospital doctor so I have another appointment with the hospital.

In the mean time I haven’t been sleeping very well. My back has been hurting all day and night and together with the heartburn and the night visits to the toilet I’m not left with much time for sleeping. I getting bigger and bigger and it’s starting to get a but frustrating not being able to do anything. I can’t get out of the sofa without Russ’s help, I can’t pick up things from the floor or reach lower cupboards, I get tired just going up the stairs to use the toilet, I’m in constant pain and starting to get bored. Especially when there is so much left to do with the house and I can’t do it. Honestly I’m starting to get a bit fed up with being pregnant and I can’t wait till Tubbs is born healthy and beautiful. Still 10 more weeks to go (if she’s not late) and my mood is getting worse each day (Poor Russ)
