Yesterday was my 17 week doctor's appointment. Unfortunately I had to do the glucose tolerance test early because of my weight. People say that the drink is disgusting. It wasn't. It was just like super sweet syrup from a melted popsicle. I didn't hate it. Good news is that I passed the test! What the what? That was incredibly unexpected.
Also, the nurse must've caught Baby Nerd off guard because she found the heartbeat right away. Little Nerd didn't even have time to be difficult. Heart is beating at a healthy 154 bpm. It's pretty much the best sound in the world! I decided to record it this time. No idea why I didn't do this before. So now when I start to have my little freak outs about Baby Nerd actually being in my tummy I can just listen to the heartbeat.
We scheduled the big anatomy scan ultrasound! It'll be April 23 and I'll be one day shy of 21 weeks. Yesterday the doctor said he'd see me in 3 weeks because they'll change the timing of appointments to do this at 20 weeks. I got so excited thinking about what day we'd find out the flavor of this baby. Then when I went to schedule the lady told me that the next available ultrasound they had was on the 23. I almost started crying in the office! This is a full 6 days later than I had hoped. I know 6 days isn't much in the grand scheme of things, but it really breaks my heart to wait a week longer to see my baby.
Overall though, I can't really complain. There's a baby in my belly!
