30 weeks, 3 days

Yesterday I had my three hour glucose test.  It went faster than I thought it would.  My fasting glucose was 73, which Dave said is perfect, even low, so hopefully I don't not have GD!!  I am going to start cutting the starches and sugars drastically, even if I don't have it, because the effects it has on the baby are so not worth it.  To pass the time, I watched 'the way we were' on my netbook-- how awesome the lab had wifi!:o)  I had never seen the movie and so many of the scenes reminded me of story lines from sex in the city.

This weekend was a milestone because Dave and I were sitting on the swing-- it was such a gorgeous day-- and we both got to feel Leah 'move'.  We normally feel her kick, but now we can actually feel and see! where she is in my belly (we think its either her butt or head pushing out) and then feel her little body squirm and move around, plus some kicks.  The entire weekend, Dave and I kept feeling her and it was so awesome to know that her little body is alive and healthy!!  We cannot wait to meet her and to hold her-- to see what she looks like!  Dave reminded me that she is a true combination of him and me-- that is so exciting!

I am fully reminded that Leah is God's and am truly humbled by the fact that he has chosen us to take care of her, to teach her about her father and raise her as her parents and some day, when she grows up, we will give her back to God and he will finish taking care of her.  God has blessed us beyond measure and I am striving to be the best child of God I can be so that I can be the woman, wife and mother God intended for me to always be.
