Still on target

I passed the glucose test and my 7 month check up looked good, still measuring on target, and the baby's heart beat was good - went up to 160 when she did a big kick. I was hoping to avoid it, but I do have a faint linea nigrea (sp?) - that line going down my stomach. I still remember shopping with my good friend Stacy when she was pregnant and I saw it on her stomach and must have sounded very shocked when I asked what in the world is that?!(pointing to her like she has a defect) She's still friends with me though and now I got my payback :)

For baby stats - she's just over 2 pounds and about 15". She is still very active and Jeff could even see my belly move last night while laying on the couch. He was trying to talk about something and I kept twitching and would look down at my stomach, and he finally saw it. So the whole movement thing is still very distracting.

On Christmas Eve I found out just how miserable I can get from eating too much food. I thought I had paced myself, and I know I could have handled that much food pre-pregnancy, but when I laid down that night I felt it just come up and sit at the base of my throat. I still haven't gotten sick, but I sure wanted to that night. My sister warned me that there will come a time soon when I can't eat a full meal, and after that night, I think I know what kind of misery is in store for me again in the future when I slip up.

And I've now had 2 official days where I could tell my feet/ankles were swollen. It wasn't drastic, but my sock mark left a definite indention. And for our Christmas dinner with Jeff's family I was very relieved to hear my mother-in-law say I was a cute pregnant lady and that I didn't look like I have gained as much weight as I have. Yeah for being tall and spreading it out :)
