Well after reading about what baby hiccups feel like, I've decided that I've been feeling Nathan hiccup for quite some time and just didn't know it. I thought they were just little movements.
Still haven't heard from the doctors office about the GD test. I'm pretty sure that means I've passed, but I'm going to call today just make sure. Also get my new due date. I'll be surprised if they leave it for Oct 3rd.
I'm working my last hour and a half at work right now. It's the only thing getting me through this night which has been VERY slow only one customer tonight whereas there was 8 last night. Big difference.
I've noticed that my heartburn has come back full force now that I'm in the third trimester. I read that it would, but thought maybe it wouldn't because I'd been doing so good. I could get away with 2 tums a day, now I have to have 2 tums 2 or 3 times a day.
Darren and I finished going through our bedroom last night. I have to say, it look better the way we have it now than the way it was before we moved stuff around. We didn't know we had so much room. Of course we still have to buy the crib and put it in, but other than that the bedroom is done. So now, other than the kitchen, it's just cleaning a puttng a few other things away. Maybe by the end of July we'll have everything done and just need to keep up with cleaning until Nathan gets here.
Well, I've got to put the coffee on. TTFN

Glucose Test
I had my 1 hour GD test yesterday (Mon) I was prepared to drink the nastiest stuff on the planet according to what I've read and heard. But it wasn't bad at all. A little sweet, but not bad, sure didn't taste like orange though. I was done by 9.20 am so I'm pretty sure the doc's office would have called today, but I know that if they don't call tomorrow that everything was fine. I won't like it if I have to do the 3 hour test, but if it's for the health of me and my little Nathan, then it's worth it. Now the next test I'm not looking forward to is the Group Strep B.
Tonight (Tues) is my last night at work. I'm so glad, I have never been so pooped in my entire life than working here at night while being pregnant. Not that the work is hard, it's actually very easy. I just sit here and wait for a customer to show up, check them in and set out breakfast, that's about it. But I am bone weary tired when when I get home. It'll be nice to not to have to work. even nicer that Darren and I will get to actually sleep together 2 nights a week. Then after he goes on days, things will feel normal again.
I'm tired and I have to set breakfast out still, I may have more later. TTFN.

So Cute!
I just had to share what Darren did earlier. We were in bed getting ready to nap, and Darren gave me a kiss and then gave my tummy a kiss. So Cute!!! I love that he in his own Darren way is starting to become attached to Nathan. Makes me so me so happy, because in the begining after we found out, I wasn't really sure What he was feeling. So when he does little things like this it warms my heart.
On an another note, boy is it HOT HOT HOT! 107 degree's out today. I'm glad I don't work outside for a living, I'd be sick.
Looking forward to our yearly trip to San Francisco for our convention. Always come back a little tired but spiritually refreshed.
That's all for now. TTFN.

Feeling A Little Better
I've been fighting this cold since friday afternoon, and it's horrible not being able to do much for it. I had a fever for a couple days but I kept and eye on it to make sure it didn't go to high and it didn't, but I was miserable when it was breaking. I drank alot of water and drank chicken broth for a couple days and took some extra vitamins. For my throat I had some cough drops (I think 4 total over a couple days) and ate lot's of sugar free popsicles. Sunday I was able to go to the store and got some honey and lemons to help soothe my throat and that helped as well along with an apple cider home remedy my mom told told me about.
I also slept. Alot. I was amazed at how much I slept. I would sleep for a few hours and get up for a couple hours and go back to bed and sleep for hours again. And I still slept throught the night. Now that was amazing. I haven't slept well for weeks and I have to get sick to to get some good rest! LOL
I am feeling better today though, I can tell because my appetite is coming back. My nose is still pretty stuffy and I'm coughing, but it's more managableand I can't taste anything, but I'm not miserable. I didn't sleep as much today as the last couple days, maybe that has something to do with the fact that my two days of work are back and I hate it. It's got to be psyhcological, knowing me.
A couple nights ago Darren and I were laying bed (he was getting ready to sleep before work, and I was just gonna sleep) I said that I wished he could feel Nathan kick (or punch). Nathan's kicks have just recently been able to be seen by me, usually when Darren is not home. Darren put's his hand on my belly and I pressed it down hoping to get Nathan to kick, and what do you know, he kicked and Darren could feel it. I was exstatic, although I'm not sure how Darren felt, he didn't say. But I was glad it happened anyway. I love to feel Nathan's movements. It's so reassuring.
Tonight before right before I left for work Darren picked up Keera (our dog) and says there's my son pointing to the belly and trying to get her to give it lick (kiss) to which of course the dog promtply does nothing, thinking her owner is crazy. But I felt wonderful knowing that Darren is just as happy as I am to be having our son and actually calling him 'my son'. One thing I've realized about Darren is that while he may not look like he is showing an emotion or feeling a certain way, doesn't mean he isn't. He does and will express it in his own time and way. oor guy hasn't slept well for days now and it's catching up to him. When he mentioned it tonight I asked why he thought wasn't he and he said something about all the work left to do still before the baby comes. I think he's feeling stressed, it seems like he keeps trying to get stuff done and the more he does the more work there is to do. I feel bad for him because there is alot of work that I can't help him with. We'll get it done, it's slow going but it'll get done.
Well, I'm at work and gotta go chase someone off. TTFN!
