Some very good friends held a wonderful shower in honor of our a baby girl. It was fabulous! The food was great, the presents were awesome and of course the company of friends was even better. I have attached a few of the pictures. They aren't great, but it's all I have. Thanks to the hosts for everything. We really enjoyed it. We are truly lucky to have such wonderful people in our lives.
My family...
I had a check up with Dr. Gebhart yesterday. They did the glucose test and I just barely passed. But I passed!!! I had to drink this glucose drink an hour before they took my blood. Everyone warned me about how bad the drink tastes and it might upset my stomach. They said to get it as cold as I can before I drink it and it will taste better. I was on my way over to the clinic and started to drink it. It wasn’t bad at all!!! Maybe because I was anticipating it being horrible. I got to the clinic and the receptionist asked me how the drink was. I told her it wasn’t bad. She said they are trying to improve it and I guess they have. The only bad news I got yesterday was that I am slightly anemic though. My iron level should be above 11 and it was 10.8. It wasn’t too bad so he put me on iron pills three days a week. They will check my iron again in three weeks. Last week my blood pressure was a little elevated (130/92). Yesterday it was good. It was only 112/74. That made me happy. Dr. Gebhart did make me get a flu shot since flu season is coming up. I usually don’t get a flu shot, but he said it was mandatory. That was fine with me. Whatever doc says, goes! So all in all, I had a pretty good visit.
