The appointment was LONG, long, long and boring. We were there for THREE hours before it was all said and done.
I had to take the glucose test. They usually don't give it this early, so I'm guessing I had to take it because of my weight. It wasn't nearly as bad as I had heard. This was the first time I had to take it, and I wasn't prepared in advance at all. With Ella I got to drink 8 ounces of grape juice. The nurse just showed up with the cup and said "drink this as fast as you can so it's over." It wasn't too aweful.
The best part of the appointment was that Ella got to squirt the gel on my belly and help the doctor move the doppler around. We didn't hear the baby's heartbeat because it is so early, but he wanted to reward her for being such a good girl the whole time we were there. Ella was a beautifully behaved little girl for the entire three hours! I was very proud of her. All in all, it was a completely uneventful appointment.
We go in for our next appointment on September 21. We will be able to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time at that appointment.

I just can't believe that you had to take the glucose test already! Did you drink the orange or the lemon-lime stuff? I had so many w/ the twins that I *still* can't drink orange soda!!! Glad it went well ... in the beginning at least, boring is GOOD!
like tumbler and tipsy days hopefully we will remain in high spirits. well, good day
