Other good news (29 weeks, 4 days)

* I'm glad to say that my 2nd glucose tolerance test and all the hours involved and all the bruising blood draws were not necessary as I "passed". Thus, no gestational diabetes for me and the Sprout. I'm going to return to exuberantly confident state that this is one of the simplest pregnancies ever.

* Have the crib all set up and started to put bedding in it. (Thanks, Dad and Cheryl!)

* Have a wonderful upholstered green gliding chair to go with it in the nursery. (Thanks, Trish!)

* Can still actually fit my fat ankles into my ankle boots!

Only downside this week is that a relatively new symptom for me is that I tend to blush easily. I guess it has to do with changed blood circulation, etc, but I hate it! I made a point (of disagreement) with someone at a community meeting last night and went totally red. Felt like it took away from the strength of my statement, darnit! Also blushed in our childbirth class last week when I told everyone how much I weighed at birth. Of course, I might have blushed even without this new side effect. I won't repeat how much I weighed, but I will say that I should probably be more grateful to my mother and that I am very very confident that Sprout will also be a strapping baby boy....
