In bummer news, I failed the 1-hour glucose tolerance test at my doctor appt. this week (screening for gestational diabetes, which just develops during pregnancy) so now I have to spend half the day Friday at the hospital taking the super-long glucose test. Here's the fun of it: special diet for 3 days beforehand, fast the night before, check-in at 7:30am (hello! I'm supposed to be sleeping!), drink some lovely orange pure-sugar-syrup and then give a urine sample and have my blood drawn every hour for 4 hours. Would anyone like to join me?! I went through this same process when I was pregnant with Maddie, so let's hope I pass the long test this time around as well!
Baby James continues to be a super-active little man, for which I'm very grateful. Both Keith and Maddie have been able to feel him a couple times (although usually he likes to sneak away and be quiet right when I put their hands on my stomach) and Maddie absolutely loves James already. She loves to sing "Jesus Loves Me" to him in the car, to feel him kick her hands and to pull up my shirt and give him kisses or talk to him (via my belly button "microphone"). Let's hope she's this excited about him when he's actually here in real life! :-)
"I love you, baby James!" --Big Sister Maddie(I hope James is growing bigger inside because the outside of my belly sure is! HA!)

Love the pictures, Lis! I love that Maddie thinks your belly button is a microphone. Too cute.
I can relate to the long visits as well...it seemed I had a knack for scheduling my appts on days where there were multiple ladies going into labor...I even tried to be the first appt. and that didn't even work!
Love you-

That is such a precious photo! I love it!
Looking good! You are very brave, I was too scared to post a bare belly photo! :)
Hope the glucose test goes well... bummer you have to take the long one!
Keep up the GOOD work. You look stunning and totally relating to the lame apts. But PRAISE GOD for the good progress. LOVE IT!
