glucose test

yesterday we had another appointment with our midwife. before the appointment i had to go in and drink that orange glucose drink to determine whether i have gestational diabetes. it isn't something they were worried about but, just a normal test they do just to be on the safe side. everyone kept telling me that the drink was really gross. but, it actually wasn't that bad! it tasted like orange soda with out the carbonation. i'm not a huge fan of orange soda but, at least it wasn't something worse! the only hard part was trying to down it as fast as i could because i was running late for my actual appointment. i should get the results in a few days. i'm not worried though because i feel great!
at my appointment with the midwife she said that everything looks really good. when she measured my stomach she said that ellee had grown a lot since our last appointment four weeks ago. when she listened for her heartbeat it was stronger on the left side. the midwife had a hard time counting her beats per minute because ellee kept moving around. :) she definitely moves a lot! the midwife said we are right where we need to be. that was really good to hear. all in all it was a really good appointment.
