Glucose Tolerance

Well, after having elevated glucose numbers last week, I went to the doctor today for the 3 hour test. Everything is okay for now. Even though a few numbers were high they were under what the doctor is looking for. I will get tested again at 32 weeks.

Baby is doing well. He has been very active. Kicks and punches are getting stronger. It is fun sometimes to watch baby move across my belly. Rachel and I have laughed a couple of times while watching him move. Jason loves to zerbert baby. He does not react to that.

I am starting to look at diapers at the grocery store. Not quite ready to buy them yet. I am still undecided about breast feeding although I am leaning toward giving it a try. Pure economics is a good reason to try along with the cost of formula, boiling water, heating bottles, etc.

Our Disney vaction is coming up soon. Just 4 more weeks. We are excited.

Having good and bad days now. Pregnancy bloating gets to me sometimes, along with back ache and general not sleeping well. Saturday was an emotional day. Some days I deal real well with my bodily changes and others are such a struggle. Maternity clothes don't fit real well and the next size in women's clothes are too big for me right now although I know I will grow into them soon enough.

Frazier is funny as he likes to snuggle to on my lap. I am running out of room. He knows something is up. Boy will he be surprised when baby comes home. He often brings comfort and companionship and warmth. He is not going to be my baby for much longer.
