Mover & Shaker

This little guy loves to move!  I'm starting to think that I've got another one on my hands that isn't going to want to sleep because he is in constant motion.  Not that I'm complaining...feeling those little kicks and squirms are one of the best parts of being pregnant.

Last week was the first time that Casey was able to feel him kick which is great!  Now I can't wait to catch it at a good time for Ryan to be able to feel him.  Speaking of Ryan, he is absolutely so cute about this new baby!  He talks to him at least once a day.  He just puts his face up to my belly (the ever-expanding belly) and says "Hey baby!  I missed you while I was at school today.  Sure can't wait for you to come out of there! Love you.  Bye."  That's usually the gist of the conversation.  And then he kisses my belly.  How stinking cute is that?

I go in a few weeks for my gestational diabetes test, which, from what I remember, wasn't much fun.  I know I didn't pass the "easy" test with Ryan, so I had to go for the prolonged test, which meant I had blood drawn every hour on the hour for 4 hours, or something outrageous like that.  Hopefully it goes better this time around.  GB is something I don't really want to contend with!

So far, this pregnancy has gone pretty great.  I was sick mostly through the first trimester, but that's tapered off, and now I feel pretty good all the time.  I am still extremely tired by late afternoon, and my bedtime is usually pretty consistent with Ryan's, which is very rare for me.  My biggest complaint had been heartburn, but after my last appointment, the doctor gave me a prescription for Nexium, and it has completely knocked out the heartburn.

Well, I guess that's about all the updating I have for the day.  I've been off work yesterday and today because I'm supposed to be studying to get my insurance license.  That's obviously working out real well for me, huh?  Have a great day!
