Anyway, it was a short and sweet appointment, just the way we like 'em. I've gained 5 lbs since last month, blood pressure is good, belly measurements are right on track and all of the results from our ultrasound at 20 weeks were perfectly normal.
Some time over the next few weeks I have to do a one hour glucose test to check for gestational diabetes. I have to drink this sugary cola and then have blood drawn an hour later. Hopefully there will be no issues there.
Finally, we have to start the process of interviewing pediatricians. Any of you moms out there have any advice on what to look for and what to ask about? We have no idea. Please leave comments, they would be much appreciated!

that drink looks YUCK! poor you.
ooo i have to do that before! Its not that bad - promise :) I would put it on ice and drink it down with a straw. It'll probably be a lot like Pedialight, super sweet and a little thick! But if you can handle the thick part, you'll do great :) Make sure Collin buys you something yummy after your done! :) MWA
(PS SocFam is Court!! :) I had to sign in to google for my class blog under that account, and forgot to resign-in! Sorry :)
As far as a ped doc. Choose someone you are comfortable with. Someone who shows genuine interest in how the little one is developing. We just had to switch doc for Ari and getting ready for the new one. We found a awesome lady who loves kids. Couldn't ask for much more. Ask around your area and your baby doc they will have some good suggestions.
The glucose test is not bad. It is Koolaide. Just high sugar Koolaide. The little one will Love it!
