Well, since the biggest thing going on is that we're having a baby it should be no surprise that this is yet another baby post. I hit 31 weeks this week. My mom and sister went with me to my appointment on thursday 10/6. Doctor walked in and asked if we were doing an ultrasound. I said I didn't know...so he asked my mom and sister who wanted to see the baby today. They both raised their hands so we did an ultrasound. Her hand was in front of her face again so we only got a glimpse at her with the 3-d. We did get some nice profiles that I'm super excited about.

I got the whooping cough/tetanus vaccine and my arm is still sore. My glucose test from last time came back high so we had to schedule the ominous '3 hour' test. we scheduled that for friday 10/7. i had to be there at 8 am bright and early. they said that was best since I had to be fasting. Boy, am I glad I did go in at 8. They really need to call it the '4 hour' test. They stuck my right arm first to test my initial glucose. Once that cleared, I got to drink some nasty pop. Lemon lime is definitely better than the fruit punch. An hour after drinking the pop they drew me again. We tried the left arm because they like to switch arms so we're not going from the same arm. She had a hard time getting my left one, so she had to stick me twice. not sure what exactly went wrong, but after she got done I got really light headed and my ears started ringing. I've never passed out before but I was pretty sure I was going to then. The ladies put some ice on the back of my neck and put my feet up. I really think I just wanted to die....or just pass out so that it would stop. It did eventually. I sat in the blood drawing chair for the whole hour in between draws. The last two draws were uneventful. Kurt came to pick me up and brought me flowers! Oh how I love him. I don't know what I'd do without him. We're down to sixty days left! Two months from today! I can hardly wait to hold her.
