28 weeks

I have some amazing news!  I passed the 3 hr glucose test!  Thank God!!  I found out on Friday that I had to take it again, and took it on Monday.  They gave me the wrong drink last time (it was the same drink they gave me at the 1 hr).  The one they gave me on Monday was equally gross but not because it was semi-bitter and tasted like orange peels, but because it tasted like corn syrup.  I LOVE sugar; I have the biggest sweet tooth.  But this was too much.  It had 100 ml of glucose rather than 50 ml that the orange drink had.  I hope I never have to drink that again!  I had my dr. appt yesterday and asked about it.  He said only one of my numbers was elevated, and in order to be considered a gestational diabetic two of the numbers have to be elevated.  Such a relief!  We are so happy we don't have to worry about that anymore, and so very thankful to not have gestational diabetes.

I also received a form to keep track of Baby Harrison's movements.  I have to count 5 movements in one hour or 10 in 2 hours.  Thankfully he's pretty active in the evening and I got 5 kicks in 13 minutes. :)  He has moved though, so it does make it harder to feel his kicks (if that's possible).  He's kicking my organs more than kicking my stomach.  He was primarily on the right side so my belly was a little lopsided. :)  Now it looks normal...so he must have decided to spread out more. :)

I also gained 3 lbs last month.  I've already gone over what I wanted to, but 16.5 lbs in 7 months isn't too bad.  Hopefully the rest of the weight I gain is all baby so it won't be as hard to lose it once he's born.

Oh!  I almost forgot.  We got our dresser in last week and picked it up Saturday.  There were two back pieces that were cracked, but Andrew was able to fix them with wood glue and clamps.  We put it together on Sunday.  It was the dumbest way to build a dresser ever, but we got it together and it looks great!  We are both very happy with it and I can't wait to buy some laundry detergent to wash the clothes, cloth diapers, and blankets that will be stored in it.  It's hard to believe there is only 12 weeks until my due date!
