25 Weeks!!!!

25 WEEKS!! These last five or six weeks have been flying by and its hard to believe that we only have three months (give or take a week or so) left before we meet Bradford! We had another Dr. appointment this morning and it was eventful to say the least. I had my glucose test this morning and I knew that I was not supposed to eat before the appointment so I planned on sleeping as long as possible before getting up and  ready. Well this planned slightly backfired, and we didn't get up until 9 am for our 9:30 am appointment. We ended up only being a few minutes late, but we were definitely rushing! Once were in the office, the Dr. had me drink this kinda gross but not too terrible fruit punch sugar drink and my hour wait time began. I was feeling ok at this point and the Dr. does the normal exam (weight, measurements, and blood pressure). Then we get to hear Bradford's heart rate, which was 146 and of course we love this part! After seeing the Dr. and getting a good report on our progress we headed back to the waiting room. I had 30 more minutes before it was time for my blood test. Well those of you that know me well know I am not good when I get hungry, and this has not gotten better with being 6 plus months pregnant!! I am watching the clock and starting to feel bad but I think I can make it through....well ten minutes or so pass and I am feeling terrible shaking, HOT, and light headed. FINALLY its time to get the blood drawn. Will and I head up to the reception desk and I go down. I faint in the waiting room:( Will later tells me that on the way to the ground I say "yup" like I knew it was going to happen haha. This sends the entire office into a frenzy nurses and doctors running everywhere. They help me to sit down and take me to a room to lay down. They think this is a serious emergency and wonder why Will and I are so calm. We tell them this is normal that I don't do well when I don't eat and that I will be fine as soon as I eat. This at least calms them enough to agree to go ahead and do the test (I obviously didn't want to do this again). After they draw my blood, they gave me a juice box and a breakfast bar and I felt fine in minutes just like Will and I both knew I would. Well thank goodness the doctors believed me, because they were going to make me go to the hospital for monitoring if I wasn't much better. Though I make light of the situation I am very thankful that when I fell I didn't hurt myself or Baby Bradford. Another exciting part of this appointment was receiving our pictures from our free maternity shoot. Will and I modeled for our Dr. office's new website a few weeks back and were given a short shoot with the photographer Erin Robert with Studio 386 Photography. We love several of the pictures!!
