Be forewarned... lots of gushing including about the baby included.
So contrary to the previous post, I'm actually quite happy today. Sometimes people just make me angry. Why am I happy might you ask? The first thing is, I PASSED MY 3 HOUR GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST! I didn't realize how much that was bothering me until it was no longer a load on my shoulders. I know, I know. It's a small thing in the grand scheme of "bad things that happen" but it still bothered me. Dearest obgyn had also just gotten a shipment of H1N1 vaccine in this morning, so I got that as well - yet another load off. Everything with baby looks good still. I love that little shit so much.
On the non-medical front, I asked the doctor to tell me how the baby is positioned to see if we had guessed correctly. We had. I don't know why that excites me so much. His rump is on my left side and is the larger lump just to the left of my belly button. His back is to us and his head is slightly lower down on my right side. So that thing that I thought was his arm? It probably was. When I've rubbed his little bum? It's actually his bum. And that thing that poked out of my side last week probably was a teeny baby foot. I just want to eat him up.
It's also gorgeous outside. My broken washer was promptly fixed this morning, and I just paid someone to do a wonderful job cleaning up my back lawn. It's really nice to not have to work so hard to make things fall in order sometimes. Tomorrow I look forward to a very dear woman coming over with her little one to help me clean up some of this mess. The sciatica just makes it really hard to get a lot done at a time, leaving me way behind without help. I am a lucky, lucky girl.

Yay for passing! As someone who failed, I know what a relief it must be. And personally I loved knowing exactly how my little boy was crammed in there. So happy for you.
Wooohooooo for no GD! And, very cool that you figured out how he was positioned.
I know exactly what you mean about the GTT, and I'm so glad it's off your mind! :) And, when I thought Danny was transverse, I was a little sad to learn that I was wrong, odd as that sounds. It's nice to know that we have any inkling of what's going on in there, isn't it? :)
I know it's too early, but I'm already worrying about my glucose test, so congrats!!!
Thanks all. It IS nice Suze. Love it.
I would hear women talk about 'the butt is here' and 'this is the head' etc. It made me feel kind of stupid when I had to ask my OB. I felt like I had failed my first 'mom test'! It was fun to just sit around and rub his little butt.
So, so happy you passed your GTT. Go, you!!
Hooray!! Got your message the other day - sorry I'm a slacker. I'm so glad you passed! And glad you got the vaccine! :-)
wooooo on passing!!! now go eat some candy. heh
you sound SO good. I love it.
xo
Good to hear from you. Glad all is going well at the moment - hope that sciatica stays at bay, and you get enough help. Hear you on the college dorm front. I feel that way a lot at the moment.

So glad all continues well.
