I took the glucose challenge test today (sounds a lot more fun than it really is!). It wasn't too bad- just tasted like those really sugary Fruit Punch drinks that my mom never let me drink as a kid. Afterward I felt a bit nauseous, but sweet things have been making me nauseous, especially in the morning. I also told the midwife about bleeding so long after cutting myself and she said it might be a sign my platelets are too low. Hopefully the results come back quickly so that I don't obsess too much.
You all look wonderful!!! I haven't taken a bump pic yet.. I think I am finally showing a bit though this week.. especially after I eat! 
Xanz- that is scary you blacked out a bit after cutting yourself. So glad you are okay and good dr. tested blood. I also cut myself with a huge knife this wknd cutting a bagel.. Bled 20 mins..v. lucky it wasn't worse. What is wrong with us? We are always either falling or cutting ourselves at the same time!
Great the long walks and stretches help with pains.. I am trying to walk 2 hrs a day and stretch and so far no pains..but I am sure they will come soon!
Congrats on so many of us now passing v-day..Yay!! It is so exciting to think that third tri is so close for us.
Glad to hear the glucose test doesnt taste too terrible. I am convinced it is going to make me sick next week. Hoping for great results for all of us.
Finally told my mom! We think she sort of knew! She knew that even though she was so ill when I had the hypermesis that something was wrong and even said to my sister she thought I could be pregnant but my sister said no way. Ha! It was a very, very special birthday for her.
I hope the fatigue is better for everyone this week. Mum- so glad you got a good nap in when your dd did.
My mom said 5th, 6th and 7th months were great but 8th month gets tougher!

Ha ha- hopie, I was cutting an english muffin! We really are sore-sisters Glad your mom was so happy with the news, it must be a relief to have family to share it with after all you've been through.
Also, I didn't understand what V-day was, now I feel silly. I was thinking Valentine's Day, but that was clearly wrong. Then I then I thought Queen Victoria's Birthday, but, no. Viability day! Oh!!! That is the best of holidays!

Loving all of the bump photos! Each bump is so unique and beautiful! :]
hopie: so glad you finally got to tell your mom! She must be over the moon excited for you! And I'm glad she waited for you to say something instead of guessing when she was wondering if you could be. Glad you got to tell her when you were ready!
xan: I took the glucose challenge test today too! That orange drink was nasty, but not as bad as I thought it would be to be honest. It tasted like tang with about 2 extra cups of sugar added. Haha. Not something I would ever elect to drink on my own, but at least I got it down and kept it down alright.
Talked to my doctor about my hips and she pretty much said it was normal and not much I could do about it. She said I could use a knee pillow and if it gets really bad I can take tylenol pm to help me sleep at night. That will be a last resort for me though. I went swimming today and it was wonderful (I took the day off again because the school year is almost over and I had one more personal day to use). Relaxed by the pool afterwards in the sunshine with my book. Baby Lincoln enjoyed himself I think, he was squirming around visibly in my tummy! :]
Now I'm making dinner and waiting for the hubs to come home. BBQ chicken, corn bread, and roasted asparagus. Yum! :]

All the bumps look so different but yet all are due in September and all look beautiful! Heart melting! September will be filled with new born pictures!
Luv- Hey I need to understand the Mac and cheese box thing!!! What what?
is it to like compare size or is there something to it?
Some of you had their glucose tests already!?? My doctor with DS and this doctor do them around 26-27 weeks. The drink was okay I didn't get sick but I hate sugary drinks. I hate anything sugary in general. Just hope I pass though.
Hopie- So happy you told your mom!! What a smart cookie she is!

Hopie how sweet that your mum knew, deep down had an inkling. It's the mother/baby bond, maybe ��
Campn - yeah, soooo many beautiful babies are going to hit the thread in September, isn't it an exciting thought!?
I love looking at the bumps, and seeing all the shapes and sizes. Mine isn't beautifully rounded, it's quite like my bump with Sophie, sticks out bigger at the top and then goes in. Sophie changed shape a lot, at one point she looked more like a ski slope.

Yes, lol, my ticket says he is the size of a box of mac & cheese! Hard to imagine he's so big already.
I love all of the bump pics and how we are all blossoming, as the secretary at work says.
I took the bump picture to reassure DH's family that, yes, I really do look pregnant. They are getting concerned because they saw a couple of pictures of me where they couldn't really tell if I was pregnant. Although it is a little annoying, I know they do it out of concern. They know about my 2 last pregnancies and DH told them I've only gained 8 pounds so far. I was a little overweight after the last miscarriage, so it's within the normal range of weight gain and my doctor isn't concerned. I love DH, but he doesn't quite get what he should filter from his family!

Luv- Ugh how stupid of me! I didn't even notice! And it's so hard to imagine they're this big already! I'm starting to get a little sad cause this may be our last baby so I'm trying to really enjoy every minute but it's flying by!
Xan- LOL I hate how families bring up their "concerns" like you need an intervention! When DS was born one of DH's cousins didn't comment congrats on any pictures we put on Facebook, she just kept saying "Wow why is he this tiny? Is he healthy?" I restricted her. Probably my hormones.
And my DH has got no filter either! We have a name picked but I don't want to share it with the real world yet and every time they ask about names he almost says it then I interfere right away and say no nothing yet. He was like why all the secrets!?? Secrets? Really? Let's give them my bra size too so nothing is ever private in this family

LOL Campn...that made me laugh so loud and I'm at the library!!
Too funny Xanz and Campn- hang in there with them...men can be so darn clueless!
OH is so clueless about women stuff it is funny. He is asking me if newborns sleep a lot. Then said since I am pg, does that mean I no longer am getting a period??? lol
Everyone looks great!! I am a bit concerned I don't have much of a bump.. but they said at 23 wks baby was already 1lb 6 oz. I am sort of tall but not really.. 5'7. I don't know. I guess I will find out more at my dr. appt next week. I cxl'd it this week...feeling nauseous and want to put off that awful sweet tasting drink til next week!
Luv- is your appt. at end of the week?
Amant, Camp and Mum- thanks! I feel better that she knows now. Yes, she said mothers just know these things!
Amant-- that dinner sounds soo good! Glad you got to relax by pool and took time off. Hope your last day of school comes up quick. The swimming I bet will help. Hopefully stretches will help too. I'm really getting a lot out of them. I heard swimming is the best exercise to do during pregnancy but I don't know where to go to a pool around here and I would rather avoid getting myself into a bathing suit!

hopie my fiance didn't understand why I wouldn't be getting alot of sleep when the baby was here - since I'll be off work and all
OY! He's a great stepdad, but we've only lived together for about 4 years. So he wasn't around for the newborn stage.
