Glucose Testing & Fetal Echos

Yesterday I had both my 1 hour glucose test and the fetal echo for our little lady. The glucose test was not nearly as bad as I had worked it up in my mind to bed, and thankfully I passed. I don't know if I would've tolerated drinking any more of that lovely orange drink or to have gone in fasting and unable to eat for an additional three hours for the test. About 30 minutes after I finished my drink it felt like our little lady was having quite the party in there. I loved it. I absolutely love feeling her move and squirm around. That afternoon we had her fetal echo. My OB decided to go ahead and order one for her to make sure her heart looked ok since I have a history of a congenital heart defect. She is typically really active between 1600 and 1800, and her echo was at 1630. I didn't think anything of it. She was so active I couldn't help but laugh as the ultrasound technician tried to measure her little baby heart and see everything. Our little wiggle worm would rest for a brief moment and the ultrasound tech would have the perfect view of something and as soon as she would go to measure or whatever she needed to do at that point and our wiggle worm would move. The tech would then sigh and try to chase down the wiggle worm. I don't know what was more fun: getting to see her and watch her moving around or listening to the tech try to do her job. The tech was amazing though and kept a great sense of humor through the whole thing. While they didn't get to visualize everything like they like to or do all the measurements they wanted they said that her heart looked great. The heart defect that I had isn't found until after birth however, so we'll see if they do any testing after she's born to check her heart and make sure everything is normal. The only down side to her being so wiggly is that all the pictures that we got of her yesterday are blurry. I'm ok with that though. Sure they aren't awesome for everyone else to see, but Reed and I got to see her clearly. My favorite thing that we saw yesterday was her playing with her hands in front of her face. It was fun watching her start sucking her thumb, then decided to clap her hands a little and then just wave them around. I'm so in love with this little girl already it's unreal!
