Glucose Screening Test

I drank my 6 ounces of orange soda on steroids this Sat morning after fasting... drank it in one minute (you have 5 minutes) and then spent the next two hours at the lab sitting in a comfy reclining chair with a blanket reading People, crocheting and playing games on my phone.  I did feel quite lightheaded for a while, but overall it wasn't so bad.  Most people dread drinking that stuff because it is so super sweet.  It is, but I find if you chug it you don't notice it as much.  And yesterday I found out I passed the test and my iron levels are good.

I am 27 weeks tomorrow, which marks the last week of my 6th month... the last week of my second trimester.  I have had some tummy issues this week, and the lightheadedness, but other than that things seem to be going well :)

Chris s enjoying his new job a lot and we (mostly he) has been busy moving stuff into storage.  We are staying in our 2 bedroom condo and making space for baby.  We were thinking of moving but I am so glad we decided to stay as I am finding even just going through stuff to move to storage is a lot of work, plus all the preparation for baby!

Noah is awesome.  Yesterday I told him his sister can hear him now if he wants to talk to her and he immediately put his mouth to my belly and said "I love you, baby."  Not to mention he gives out unsolicited compliments, "That's a beautiful necklace, Mommy", stuff like that.
