GD results

Woo Hoo, I passed the 3 hour glucose tolerance test! That means I don't have gestational diabetes. That was the good news for the day, just had to share.

New belly picture to be posted soon, it's getting huge! BG is awake more often now, moving around more frequently, and kicks are getting stronger. She's also starting to do this new stretching of legs thing putting her foot in my ribs.

Yesterday, I started to get this tingly/numb sensation in my right hand when I was charting during my case. Continued today too, more frequently now, and not just when I'm writing, but when I'm doing any fine motor activity. (Actuallly it's tingly and kinda numb now typing.) I'll definitely have to ask the doctor about it. Just think it's kinda odd to show up all the sudden.

EDIT: Looked it up, my hand numbness has a name. Pregnancy-related carpal tunnel syndrome caused by increased fluid retention. (Funny cause my right hand, which is going numb isn't swollen, but my left hand is.)

Aches and Pains are back! Furniture time!

This week my back has been killing me. Sciatic nerve pain sucks. I've tried heating pad, I've tried ice. I tried stretching. I tried my tennis ball to see if my vertebrae is twisted a gain. I tried massage, but got little relief the past few times. I can't believe I'm actually contemplating it, but I'm seriously looking into a chiropractor.

It's gotten so bad that sleeping at night has become hard b/c no position is comfortable, so I torque my body into funky positions which has put knots in my upper back.

My round ligament pain is back on the right side. Today the entire lower abdomen was sore like that. BG has been practicing tae bo so often my pelvis is sore from the abuse. Wednesday night I did a heart transplant overnight and so sore. Guess the BGer likes to be breech.

Washed more BG clothes. This kid has a better wardrobe then Chris and I. We ordered the rocker/glider today. We'd been putting it off for so long, it was about time. We are looking to order the dresser/changer soon, but back to contemplating what we want. Well we know what we want, but we don't have room for it. Oh well, we'll still search. We found a wood furniture shop down the street to day, we'll have to check to see what we can find there.

Oh and BIG NEWS for the week: My belly button popped out yesterday. Okay so it was just the top, but it's a start :)

New belly pictures are up from Hawaii, and one from Friday in the album.
