Newsflash! Baby Kicked Josh!

Hey all,

So happy to report that J-Daddy felt his first kick last week! My stomach kind of bounces up when the baby kicks and I kept telling Josh to look and feel, but everytime he would rush over the baby would stop kicking! This time was different. Josh saw the bounce and asked, "Did you do that?" I said, "Noooo, it's the baby!" Then he felt my stomach and viola - a kick! Pretty neat, Josh was impressed and excited!

I have probably told a lot of you about this, but worth putting in the blog for memories.

I got my test results back for the glucose screening and surprise - high sugar. I kind of figured this might happen, but I was hoping no. Basically my Uncle Tim who is an OB/GYN said that this condition can make the baby chubbier than desired and the delivery more difficult because of the size of the baby - so off to the nutritionist for a new diet - and I am now working with an endocrinologist too. As long as I get the sugar under control the baby will grow normally. I think 1 to 2% of all pregnant women have high sugar during their pregnancies, so it's quite common, but not something to mess with.

All is good though...getting the baby stuff organized and making sure we have everything. Ummm...is the "nesting" starting? Ca, caw! :)
