Belly movement

Yesterday Andrew got to see my belly move for the first time... I so wish that I had of had a camera to catch his expression... He was expecting like a little ripple, not a full on quake :)

3D ultrasound

We had our 3d ultrasound yesterday (exactly 3 months before the due date :)). It was a lot of fun to see him like that, but he was an absolute stinker!! The first second that we could start seeing him he had both of his feet in his face and an arm behind the head... He would then move really quick and then get right back into a bad position. It took a while and a lot of tapping my belly, having me roll over this way and that and coaxing to get some good shots... still don't have like a full face shot, but we do have some cute pics. He yawned once while we were watching him, stuck his tongue out at us and we even got a smile out of him :) So very precious!

Where does the time go?

Less than 100 days left, only one more week till the 3rd trimester, less than 2 months of work and we're going back to get our 3D ultrasound already! Where does the time go??? Nothing new really, we'll get to see Ben again next Tuesday evening, can't wait :) Go see the doc again on the 8th and also have dentist and dermatologist appointments coming up soon too. Busy few weeks. :)

Good Test

Just got my test results back and no diabetes here! So very happy about that... A little irritated that I had to go thru that ordeal but better to be safe than sorry when it comes to the diagnosis. If you ever need to have the diabetes test done, don't eat Chipotle before you go in...

Baby Showers and Sweetness

Andrew and I just got back for a mini vacation to Illinois... Had lots of fun visiting family and had a wonderful baby shower (I'll post some pictures to Facebook later). I had my gestational diabetes test on the Monday before we left, and Wednesday while we were driving I got a call from my doc saying that I 'failed' my 1 hour test... So today I had to go in at 8a, after not eating for 12 hours, and have my blood taken 4 times over a 3 hour period. I feel that 4 vials of blood is excessive for a glucose test... can't you just prick my finger and write down the number??? Sigh. Here's hoping I 'pass' this test...

ER visit

Today was lots of fun... not :) I slipped and fell at home in our kitchen and busted my elbow open, hit my head and luckily landed totally on my side. Went to the ER for an X-ray, tetanus shot and a couple of stitches. I feel more than slightly embarrassed that the only reason I fell on my elbow and didn't try to break my fall with my hand was because I had a big thing of ice cream in my hands... that and it happened too fast to react... Sigh, guess I'm better off with stitches in the elbow rather than a broken wrist... In the past week and a half, I've had to deal with a car insurance claim, a homeowners insurance claim, and have had to use our medical and visual insurance... I'm so sick of the past few weeks!

lil kicker :)

Nothing new to really report... for the past week-ish Ben's been kicking a lot more, which is cool and creepy at the same time :) Today Andrew *finally* got to feel him kick. He said that it was creepy... I told him it's not nearly as creepy as having it going on inside you :)
