I got my appointment and had to go to the lab to drink some sugar.
Then off to my appointment I went.
Baby #2 Heartbeat 152 beats per minute. Right on target.
It was really hard to track her heart beat because she was moving around so much.
We really didn't talk about much related to the baby, because everything was normal. I love that she takes the time to shoot the breeze. It's a nice change from the in and out appointments I usually get when I go to a regular doctor
Now for housekeeping:

I got a call later telling me that I have
Hypoglycemia which means my blood sugar is too low and I need to eat more and snack on proteins like cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, cheese, and nuts. I should also be careful on how much carbohydrates I consume because
it turns into sugar.
Low blood sugar also explains why I have been tired, dizzy and insomnia. It also explained why I have been craving so much sugar
On a good note this means I just get to eat more, good thing I LOVE food.
