Yuck! Glad that's over with!

Today I completed the sugar test - which involved drinking 12 ounces of a syrupy liquid that is sweeter than orange crush in 5 minutes. They take a blood sample and I get the results in a week.

In other news, the photo above is of a 25 week fetus. I can assure you that Baby S is NOT in that position, or else her legs are screwed on backwards! I feel all the big kicks - and the occasional stationary foot - in the front right under my rib cage on either side.

15 Weeks to Go - Let The Countdown Begin!


I can't believe tomorrow marks week 25. This pregnancy thing couldn't be going any faster - though I'd love for it to be finished tomorrow so we could finally meet our little angel! Baby S is as active as we could hope for (except when she sits on top of my bladder!)

It is so fun to feel her kicks and punches, and the best part is when we can feel body parts pressed up against my belly. I predict she is going to be a long baby based on the fact that she seems to like to stretch out and press on both ends of my insides. Must be growing snug in there already - I can't imagine what it's going to feel like in a few more weeks! (Supposedly she is currently the length of an eggplant)

In other news, I am headed to the doc for my sugar test on Wed. I am in trouble if it's positive - as this baby definitely has my pre-pregnancy sweet tooth! Fingers crossed!
