Ok, so technically I have absolutely nothing to complain about, but I must have really been taking being medically boring for granted. I went to the doctor yesterday and have officially moved from "boring" to "nothings wrong with you, but there are some things I still don't like" Agggh. Like my iron levels being low, my fundal height being 3 weeks off and not having gained any weight so far. I guess I just feel like I'm being poked and prodded and given the stink eye a lot. Add to that the fact that I'm going in to see the doctor every two weeks from now on and I feel like I'm under the microscope. I don't like it. I just took my 28-week 1-hour glucose test in which you have to get blood drawn, chug a bottle of ice cold "lime flavored" sugar water, not eat or move much for an hour and then have blood taken again. (We all know how I feel about starvation and being poked with needles) I got my Rhogam shot yesterday because I'm Rh negative and now I'm being sent in for more blood work because of my iron levels and another ultrasound to check baby's fluid levels. And NOTHING IS WRONG WITH ME.
So, maybe I am complaining and it is a good thing that my doctor wants to be cautious and make sure everything's going as well as it possibly can. It's all really relatively little to do, but it's pushed me out of my laid back, so-what-if-I'm-pregnant-what's-new? attitude.
...I'm going to go eat chocolate and be thankful I don't have gestational diabetes now.

Boring is for boring people, that's what I say. Yay for no GD!!
You look beautiful, Gillian!
It sounds like a lot of prodding and sticking, but hang in there. You are at that stage when all that testing is done. You will have a break soon.
Keep us posted on the size-dates issue. Did you have different people measuring at different appointments? Where is baby lying? Hang in there and enjoy your chocolate!
