Health/Pregnancy updates

Bullet style...

• I failed my 1 hour glucose test, so now I must do the 3 day carb diet (which will be fun) but then I have to fast for 8 hours, go in and drink the nasty orange soda (which will be thicker this time) and get poked a totally of four times in between sitting in the hospital waiting room for 3 hours. I failed my glucose with Grace but then passed the 3 hour so hopefully I will do the same this time. My number this time was 160, which is pretty high for me. With Grace it was 140 which is the borderline determination for the pass/fail score. I never failed the 1 hour with Sarah, Adam or Jack.
• My iron count is still low. One month ago it was 9.6 when it is supposed to be 12 something, and this last week it was checked on Monday and was at 11.4, better but not good enough and then on Wednesday it went down to 11.2, and I have been taking iron supplements twice daily in addition to my prenatal vitamins and eating foods rich in iron combined with vitamin C and staying away from milk. I wonder what it would be like if I wasn't taking these steps in increase the level? It does explain my lack of energy and extreme lazy I mean tiredness.
• I have gained 26 pounds so far, which may not seem like a lot but for me it is. I gained a totally of 26 pounds with Jack (he was my heavest weight gain) and he was 9 lbs 13 oz. So you see my concern here with 12 weeks remaining in this pregnancy. I am scared I will have a bigger baby.
• I have a huge cherry mole on my thigh and if you don't know what that is it is bascially a superficial blood vessel. I have had it for a long time and it usually gets bigger when I am pregnant, but too days ago it turned black. Cherry moles are supposed to be red, hence the name "cherry" mole. I have an appointment to see my doctor on Wednesday to have it looked at and possibly removed. The mid-wife said not to worry about cancer since it is only a superficial blood vessel, but it still freaks me out because I know blood is red not black.
• I have another ultrasound scheduled for Monday morning, hopefully I can get a 3D picture this time since I have never had one before and I love the 3D pics. The mid-wife is certain my subchorionic hemmorhage is gone by now, but I am not certain until I see it gone via ultrasound. I am not sure what to think if it is still there. The last three ultrasounds showed no change.
• I now see the mid-wife every two weeks, then soon it will be weekly and then I'll have a new baby. At first it seemed like this pregnancy was going by slow and now it is going by fast.
• Hopefully next week I will have better news to fill these bullets with. 1.) A passed 3 hour glucose test, 2.) A removed non-cancerous/dangerous BLACK cherry mole, and 3.) A healed subchorionic hemorrhage and healthy but small baby boy.

Stay tuned to find out all the test results and hopefully see 3D pics of our little guy...
