Summer!

So here we are. Two months left and summer has officially started. Lots of happenings every day it seems!

Let's start with the update of the glucose testing. I went in last week for my 3 hour test. I agree with Tiffany - one of the worst experiences of my life. At least Mitch was there with me! The woman tried once. ONCE. to get blood out of my arm and apparently gave up. So they drew blood four times out of my hands. Which, if you've never had it done, hurts like h-e-double hockey sticks. The results? Technically, I do not have gestational diabetes. However, I failed one part of the four draws, so we have to go back in in four weeks and do the whole 3 hour test again. Yay. I mean, don't get me wrong, if it's to help make sure the baby is okay, I'll do it. But it sucks. Really sucks.

On the other hand, water aerobics rocks! I've been to two classes so far and really am having a lot of fun. It's great on my back and building muscles for the birth. I hope to continue to go after the baby comes too. Great way to get back to pre-pregnant body. Maybe even better if I work hard, right!?

As anyone watching my Facebook page knows, school's now out for the year! I'm still teaching through the month of June, but only for half days. That leaves me plenty of time to sleep in and do doctor's appointments in the mornings as well. My partner is super awesome and I know we're going to have a great time together. However, Aurora Public Schools, this business of turning off the air ramdomly is NOT going to fly at Lyn Knoll this summer. I am carrying around my own personal space heater, and even though I plan to ignore the dress code and wear shorts, it is still going to be HOT. Let's work on keeping the temp under 70 degrees at least. Lower is always apprecitated!

Last, but not least, he's moving all the time! Yesterday, while being a lazy piece of crap, I had plenty of opportunities to feel him bouncing around. I guess my movements during the day do lull him to sleep, because as soon as I was still for any period of time, he got very active. I swear he did a couple of sommersaults as well as got the hiccups! They said I might feel him rythmically move, and that it was most likely hiccups. It was pretty cute. We even called daddy at work to tell him! (Unfortunately, it was super busy at that moment, so it wasn't appreciated fully until later.) :o)

More later! But here's a pic of me and Peanut at 32 weeks. Here's to a safe and healthy last two months!
