Yucky Glucose Drink-1, Katie-0. So I went to my Dr's appt on Monday as scheduled. I drank the not-so-fabulous glucose drink and waited in the waiting room for my exam. Shortly after the exam, I'm supposed to get my blood drawn. This did not go according to plan - We have been SICK in our house. Weston started running a fever last weekend and I started running one on Sunday evening. Turns out we BOTH had the flu. Since the receptionist was unaware of my early morning call to the Dr to inform him of my illness, she had me drink the drink. While meeting with my Dr, he apologizes and says they can't take my blood considering how sick I am. Flu swab confirmed - it's the flu. I would say this visit was a waste, except he gave me some drugs for the flu and we listened to baby girl's heartbeat :)As far as how I'm feeling? Not so hot. I'm still pretty ill. The flu has migrated into my chest and turned into a form of bronchitis, which is scary considering I'm pregnant because this could turn into pneumonia. My Dr put me on yet another drug in hopes of clearing it up. Let's hope it does the trick! I'm not too fond of taking all these meds while pregnant, but in this case it's the only way to stay healthy for the baby.
I go back to the Dr on Monday, April 9th. We will get an ultrasound that morning at 8am then head to the office for another round of "Glucose drinking and blood taking". I'm praying all goes according to plan this time :)
