Appointment #6 - I've Got My Orange Crush
I took my glucose tolerance test this morning. It was preceded by frantic dreams of forgetting to drink the dose at the right time or on the right day. I had the orange stuff and it wasn't NEARLY as bad as I was expecting. I thought it would be the consistency of cough syrup but it was rather like orange soda. After the blood was drawn, I treated myself to a muffin and some iced-chai. I've been treating myself to a lot of Starbucks lately. So much in fact that my husband used my addiction in the opening statements of a recent trial.
The doc didn't say that anything was bad so I'll assume that all is good. We listened to the heartbeat and The Baby's hiccups. I actually had a couple of questions today about pediatricians and a practice I had recently heard about where doctors will put women on pitocin drips after the birth (even natural births) in order to make the uterus contract. My doctor doesn't do this for everyone, only if the uterus is not contracting on it's own. I also asked her if I could take a bath since I was a little confused about the hot tub/bath rule. She said that of course I could take baths but not to make it too hot (whatever too hot is). I'm not a big fan of baths but I sure wanted one a couple of weeks ago during a strange bout of braxton hicks.
I like my doctor more and more each visit. She's very laid back and I feel that I am lucky to have found her. Oh, I almost forgot! I've graduated to the "appointment every two weeks" mark. Yikes!!!

I've been busy building a new website for my employers. I have a limited knowledge of HTML and I've been using Dreamweaver to pull the thing together. I haven't taken any Dreamweaver classes, only the tutorial that comes with the program. I understand the basics of it but I sometimes feel like the pages would look better if I just went with straight HTML code. My employers are too cheap to hire a real designer and too cheap to train me any better. All in all I'm pretty proud of what I've accomplished, especially my forms!
