29 weeks, 4 days

Holy crap!! Almost 7 1/2 months along... this time HAS been flying, but I have a feeling time will slow down for me pretty soon. I already am so anxious to see what the little guy will look like! I feel huge, not sure if I look huge yet... but I've been told I look pretty small for being just over 7 months. I still feel fat.

So, my last doctor's appointment was last Tuesday where they checked my blood sugar to check for gestational diabetes. My levels were ONE point over what they like to see, so I have to go back again for another test called the Glucose Tolerance Test.

I have to fast for 12 hours before my appointment (which is 7:30am next Thursday Feb 12), and they draw my blood right when I get there. Then I have to drink this sugary liquid, and they draw my blood again in an hour... then again in another hour, then one more time in another hour. (4 times!!) The results from this test are a lot more accurate and will tell whether or not I have gestational diabetes (which I'm sure I'll be fine because they didn't have me fast before the last test).

During the February 12th appointment, I will also have my next checkup, where I will get measured, weighed, and we'll hear the baby's heart beat. I will have another appointment 2 weeks after that (at around 32 weeks), then another at 34 weeks, then every week from there I think.

I feel little Thompson move all the time, lots of rolling around and he likes to hang out on the right side of my belly. Lately, I've been feeling him a lot lower, so he pushes a lot on my bladder. You can ALMOST tell which body parts are where when he moves!

Some more belly pictures are posted below. Notice I am outside on my deck because it was 70 degrees here today!!!! SO NICE! :)
I have a "Mom" heart temporary tattoo on my stomach!
The bare belly pic on the bottom looks HUGE... not sure if it was the angle or how I really look...
