I passed my test!

Glucose test, that is. I got the call from my doctor's office today that I scored a 119, and passed! I took the test last Thursday before my appointment, and it really wasn't bad at all. I had the fruit punch flavored drink, which my nurse had heard was better than the orange. Even though I obviously didn't taste the orange, the fruit punch tasted just slightly sweeter than normal fruit punch. It wasn't until the last two gulps that I was even like, hmmm this isn't that great, and by then I was done.

In other news, Emersyn was measuring in at 3 lbs 2 oz (my doctor said, "that's a big baby")- she doubled in size since my 24 week appointment. If she continues to gain weight how she is supposed to, we'll be on track to have a 9lb 2 oz baby! Eeek. I was 8lbs 6 oz, and my oldest brother was 9 lbs 2 oz. My other brother was 6lbs 8 oz, but I'm not sure how early he was (we were all c-sections after my mom labored with my oldest brother for 27 hours and ended up with a c-section). So we shall see... I start going every two weeks now! No pictures from the appointment because Emersyn is head down.

I was having some pains on the lower left side of my belly last weekend, so my dr also checked my cervix- long and closed. I haven't noticed the pains here lately, so it may have just been baby girl rolling over on some nerves, or round ligament pain.
