Glucose Test Passed!

After enduring a 15 hr fast and having my blood taken 4 times in 3 hours, we found out that we passed the 2nd glucose test. Whew! What a relief...
Glad that one is behind us.
We are beginning our 28th week! At 30 weeks, we have a growth ultrasound scheduled with our favorite French Perinatologist, Dr. Veille.
Cant wait to see Jackson again..
He is very active these days. I think this kid might be a soccer player based on whats going on in my belly!

We failed the test...

The test we took last week showed that my glucose levels were high, so as a precaution, we have to take a subsequent test. On Tuesday, I have to fast for 12 hours, drink a sugary liquid and have my blood taken once an hour for 3 hours. Hopefully, the levels will come back fine and the testing will be over.
We purchased Jackson's crib, changing table, and dresser yesterday from a nice family in Folsom. Slowly but surely we are getting ready.
We went to a movie last night and when there were loud noises from the film, Jackson would move.

He kicked!

Last night, around 1opm, I felt Jackson kick(felt more like a thump) for the first time! It was so exciting..It brought tears to my eyes. Since then, I have felt him move a few more times! It finally feels real!
I have been feeling great except for a bit of dizziness every now and then. We have been walking every day for about 45 minutes to an hour to get our exercise.
I've been craving a lot of Chicken lately and my latest craving was Cheetos (something I never would have craved before I was pregnant!
We are going to the Dr. tomorrow and will hear Jacksons heartbeat and on Wednesday, I have to take a Glucose Test (standard test to detect gestational diabetes).
I will post new pictures soon! We are entering our 26th week of pregnancy!
