Well we had another check up appointment on thursday to test to see if I have gestational diabetes... I was super nervous, but it was negative! In fact my test results were perfect! (I guess those Healthy Choice meals I eat for lunch, and the exercising is paying off!) Other than that, and hearing the heartbeat, it was kind of a boring appointment. It was funny, when the nurse was putting the thing on my stomach to look for the heart beat the baby kept moving around and kicking it! I told her he hates when I rest things on my stomach (my book, icecream etc.) He always kicks at whatever is resting on my tummy like it's cramping his space! He moves all the time (especially if I stay up past 1 am), and as annoying as it can get, I love it =-). It let's me know he's ok. Sometimes he'll ball up on one side of my stomach, and it's so obvious...it looks so goofy!
I've been feeling what they call "Braxton Hicks" contractions also. They're just practice for the real thing, and they don't happen too often (that would be not good!), but man! They are uncomfortable!
But all is healthy with the baby and I. And DJ also =-). I'm in the happy stage of pregnancy where I'm not sick anymore, and not huge enough to complain (but big enough that I can get away with waddling, and having DJ carry heavy stuff for me =-)) DJ is amazing, and helps me with anything I need, cooks me food, and most of all deals with my attitudes! We are really excited for him to come into our lives, and get to know him!
I have my test tomorrow for my personal trainer certification! I can't wait to get it and start training people! Wish me luck =-D
Well our next appointment is September 9th, and we get to see him on the ultra sound again! We'll get his weight and everything, so I'll be sure to post that day.
Love you all
