WHERE IS MY BUTTON!

Hello loves! Well I just received wonderful news after being very scared of what the news had the possibility of being. I had my blood test to make sure my blood sugar was ok and that I was not anemic, on Friday. Well from my little experience with a non-planned nap (fainting) I just knew that I was going to be doomed for the next 3 months on a gestational diabetes diet trail. MY NUMBERS CAME BACK PERFECT! How in the world does that happen? It almost makes me wonder since last Friday was my last appt. with my San Antonio doctor, if they aren't havin' their toes stepped on by me, my gut, and my wallet moving on up the highway to Austin mid pregnancy. Meanwhile telling me OHHHHH SUUUUUURE EVERYTHING IS FINE :)... Kind of hard for someone who is hypoglycemic to believe :). I did wonder though because when I had to do a 3 hour test before they narrowed my symptoms down to being hypoglycemic, they took my blood for my normal blood count, then I had to drink the devil sugar drink (it's ilke a flat Orange Sunkist soda with 5 times the sugar for those that have never been blessed with having to drink it :) ) and they took my blood again right then to see how it shot up, then 30 minutes after they took it again which is where they determined that my body used up sugar much quicker then the normal person. Therefore, it was determined that I was hypoglycemic... Fun story huh lol... onwards we go... Well last Friday they didn't take my blood before I drank the drink to even have anything to compare it to.. then I had to come back an hour later so they could take my blood... It was weird.... But I guess once again I guess I have to trust that they know what they are doing and infact, be very excited that I could be getting a handle on my sugars as it is a daily effort that sometimes I work harder at then others. They also tested my hemoglobins (I think that is what she said lol... don't get me being a fat liar with medical terms) to see if I was anemic and my numbers passed with flying colors with that as well. So it looks like I will be using my face like a bulldozer in the bowl of Rainbow Sherbert I have in the freezer for special sweet tooth nights, TONIGHT! :)

On another hand..

Where in the heck is my sweet little belly button going??? I am not far AT ALL from having NO BELLY BUTTON! Like if you run your finger from one side of my belly button to the other straight across you can almost feel it being smooth!!

Let's see what else has changed... Oh, my "saucers" are RIDICULOUS! I really feel as if I am representing the Nat. Geo. channel on an African Indian Woman documentary. it is insane what has happened to my "feeders" over this whole preganancy!

As I am even typing this, little Brady is kickin' away... He moves SO MUCH! Twice this week I have felt him from one side of my belly to the other and from the top of my belly to the bottom.. at the same time like he is stretching! I think that those little grasshoppa legs have definitely stayed just as long as the first glimpse where we saw the daddy long legs and he is now growing into them. Nothing is painful yet, but definitely noticeable. You do not have to worry about me missing a meal because not only do I have to battle the growling, I have him movin' around like CRAZY when I am hungry. I have started playing music for him :)... It's crazy how they really do get to be like clock work on their timing of movement! So far he has been pretty easy on me, only waking me up a couple of times (I am a super light sleeper) out of my sleep by his partying :). It's neat feeling him, and makes me want to meet him so bad!

Speaking of meeting.. we will be going to see our 3d sonogram this weekend! I can't explain my feelings on all of this, it is such a high anxiety, excited, nervous feeling! It's almost like if you are on a blind date or meeting someone after much anticipation for the first time. I mean with those sonograms you get to see ALOT, although not exactly what he will look like, a good image of what is to come. I think everyone wonders what their children will look like all of thier lives and to have a little glimpse (I will be eyeballin' for the butt chin ;) ) of what is to come, it is just very very insanely exciting! I also pray that we don't see anything concerning from the fluid, or lighting that could cause us to have concern about anything that there isn't anything to worry about. Not physical defects or anything, I will love my little Brady no matter how God gives him to me, but like I had a girlfriend who her little boy had his cord wrapped around his neck... nothing tight or anything to cause him harm but the slightest tug on that cord when he was playing could have been really scary! Stuff like that is what I am talking about when saying that I don't want to see something that could cause concern. That concern has almost made me cancel and just wait until we meet him! But then I am soooo very excited because we haven't seen him in sooooo long, and to see this REAL BABY FACE of what is making all these awesome moves (I am sure with my moves that he will be a great dancer, especially with Brad's and his dancing chicken move, Brady is bound for stardom). I could go on alllllll day with all these jitters :)... It will also be the last time we see him, God willing everything goes as it needs to be going not causing any alarm to have a sonogram done! Anyways, I am ramblin' man over here! I will post the pictures Saturday when we get home!! Thanks for readin' and "listenin"! Love you all! Only 12 more weeks!!! Can you believe it!!

Until next time..
