together we're heavy

i had my glucose test & 6 mo + 2 weeks appointment. i'll find out the results of the test on monday. keep your fingers crossed, as even skinny steph wound up w/ gestational diabetes. she also told me she did eat a lot of sweets...still, it makes me nervous.

the good news! i only gained (drumroll, please)...

2 POUNDS!

you have no idea how excited i was...elliott & i gave eachother "respect knuckles" right there in the dr's office. she also said everything looked great as far as my size & his heartbeat. we got the pre-registration packet for the hospital too. wow...it's really getting close! we've got to get some classes too, then we'll be all set.

bad news is, i wound up staying home after the appointment because i felt really run down. by last night, i was sneezing and i am up right now sneezing (almost 2 AM) and feeling a little like throwing up! gah! why me? i got the flu shot, so i think it's just a cold, but i am TRYING to save up all my PTO for maternity leave. i don't need to stay home another day, dammit! hopefully i'll be able to go back to sleep soon and go to work, at least for a little while tomorrow.

on a happy note, elliott and i both sat and felt the baby kicking for about 1 hr. last night. he could feel him "rolling around" and kicking. he must have really been excited about something because he was going to town. we were playing him songs using the headphones and he was enjoying it, apparently! :)
