26 weeks....

So today is 26 weeks, and I was supposed to have a barrage of stuff to do.... which didn't actually work out the way I was planning.

I had to go get blood work done, and actually still have to. The glucose test that I need to do (which is a normal test at this point in the pregnancy) requires you to drink the high sugar drink then sit in the office of the clink for and hour and then get blood taken. Sounds easy. So being I had an ultrasound scheduled today as well I figured I'd go up early and get the blood work done in the morning and then stay in Fergus till the ultrasound appointment. So I got up and took my shower, as normal, and headed up to Fergus. Now it's winter (if you haven't already realized that lol) and in Canada there's this lovely thing called SNOW.... so what should have taken me MAYBE 20 minutes to a half an hour took me more like 40 minutes. So between heating my car up, then driving to Fergus, then trying to find parking in the crappy small parking lot filled with people who couldn't drive, old people who drove REALLY slow and people parked on angles. My attempt at arriving at the clinic around 10:30ish turned into closer to 11:15. Now you think this wouldn't be a big deal. Most clinics are open till somewhere between 1pm and 3pm .... but Noooooooooooooo.... this clinic closes early 1 or 2 Wednesday's a month. Yup, and guess what, it just happened to be today. So I get into the clinic and the lady says I will have to come back tomorrow being they are closing at 12 today so I don't have enough time. And I say, Oh my doctor never said that you closed early on Wednesdays and she says, not most Wednesdays just every 2nd Wednesday in the month, which happens to be today. GAH! So now I'm stuck wandering around Zellers being my ultrasound is not until 2pm and there's no point in me driving back to Guelph just to come back to Fergus for that.

So after wandering for an hour or so, I went to McCraps and had some nuggets for lunch. During this time I drank my 3 glasses of water, did my last pee before the ultrasound (which is important for ALL pregnant women to do) then read a book for a while so that I could waist some time. The nice thing is the ultrasound tech is an awesome lady and I've had her for all of my ultrasounds so far. I got there at about 1:40 and got in fairly quickly (which rocks) and this one took a little while being we had to do more stuff than usual in order to get a correct cervix reading. So keep our fingers crosses that we don't hear from the doctor before our next appointment 'cause that means everything's good. The only thing I was concerned about was that the babies head was down but from what I have read online (yay internet) is that this can happen and that there's nothing to worry about. Some babies are head down for the whole end of your pregnancy and some will keep moving so the head could be down during the US but shift within a day or two.

So back to Fergus tomorrow for the blood work... attempt number 2 LOL :)
