Last week I went back for the 3 hour diabetes test. Why can't I just eat a stack of hotcakes drowned in syrup I was wondering as I downed the bright orange liquid trying hard to keep it from coming back up. I made a mental note - orange is the worst. About an hour into the test I was quite certain I was going to puke and the baby was going to claw his way out ala Alien. All that sugar on a fasting body made him turn summersalts! When it was over I was famished. I walked directly into the pharmacy for a snack. Something so I would be able to drive into work. I had to go right to meetings and lunch seemed lightyears away. The kind old pharmacist pointed out all the candy. I laughed and said since I was just tested for diabetes - I'd pass on the snicker bar - it didn't even look appealing. Almonds would save me.But in the end....the 3 hours of time and my bruise were worth it. 
I did pass the test!
It's now week 28 and the third trimster has begun! Another doctor appointment. I will go every 2 weeks from here to week 36. It was a non-eventful visit which generally are the good kind. Baby's heart is thumping along at about 155. We're both doing well. My blood pressure remains low (yay!) my weight is high (nay!) and overall I am feeling pretty good. There is less room now for my stomach and lungs so I find myself with heartburn and out of breath much more easily when walking. I can still see my toes - but just barely and I find putting on socks to be an athletic challenge now! It might be time for a pair of fleeced slip-ons :)
What's up with Mook?
He is probably weighing in around 2.5 pounds and measures 15-16 inches from head to toe.
Lance Armstrong nothing - Mookie only has about 2 to 3 percent body fat and his or her muscle tone is increasing.
