When I went to my prenatal visit yesterday I had to get tested for gestational diabetes. They gave me the sugary glucose drink, which turned out to be not too bad. I guess I had already heard lots of horror stories of women who drank it and then vomited. It was not particularly enjoyable, but not a horrible experience either. Luckily I passed the blood test and I don't have gestational diabetes.
When the doctor was measuring my fundus, she was amazed at how much the baby was growing up into my ribs instead of growing outward and producing the "basketball" stomach. I guess he's still a little bit shy and that's why I don't feel overly huge yet.

Yeah, they gave the drink to me at my last appointment, but it's still sitting in my fridge. I need to drink it still and then go and get my blood drawn an hour later. Guess I've just been busy. Glad you're doing well!
Sorry you don't get to cute big tummy Lillian! Oh well there is always next baby. I'm glad to hear it's all going good though. I'm now scared of this sugary drink. :S
Lillian! Congratulations! I didn't even know you were pregnant (and you only have 60 days left!!!) How exciting! I am sorry that he is growing up in your ribs and not out, I hope he isn't kicking too hard! Also, I felt the same way about the glucose drink... not that bad.
