KICK KICK KICK

This little guy is kicking and moving like crazy!  In the mornings, when I am still in bed, he is just kicking away, and it is very easy to feel him from the outside of my stomach.  He kicks pretty regularly throughout the day, but you can't always feel him from the outside.  At night, usually it is pretty easy to feel him going wild.  Last week, I rested the remote control on my stomach to see what would happen.  He was kicking like crazy and the whole remote was jumping around.  

He is actually kicking right now and I am writing this... I think he's going to be an active baby!

Glucose Test

Yesterday I had my glucose screening test.  I was dreading the test because of the horror stories I have heard about the nasty tasting liquid.  My friend, Stephanie, said it wasn't that bad when she had to do it, so I thought I would be fine.  UGH- it was foul.  It tasted like some wrongly made kool-aid.  It was as thick as syrup and as sweet as extra sugary kool-aid.  I will find out tomorrow if I passed the test.  If I didn't pass it, I will be VERY upset because that will mean I will have to retake the test and drink even more of the junk to be tested again! 

The purpose of the test is to screen for gestational diabetes.  I love my sweets, so I am hopeful that I can keep on eating them.  It probably wouldn't hurt me to lay off of them a little bit....but not yet!  

The doctor I saw yesterday checked my cervix to make sure I was "dilating on the sly."  Seriously.  Her words, not mine.  Everything was fine with no signs of dilating.  Thank goodness!  This baby still has some cooking to do!  His heart rate was great and everything else looks good.  My next appointment is in 2-3 weeks and then from then, I will start going every 2 weeks!  I can't believe I am already to that point!  This pregnancy is flying by... :)
