Strong little girl!!!

Today we had another doctors appointment and everything looked great! I had to have a routine blood sugar test done. In order to prepare for the test I had to drink a bottle of what was basically pure sugar and then they drew my blood an hour later. I think the baby was on a sugar high because she was kicking like crazy. When the doctor went to listen to her heart, she would kick the doppler wand the doctor was using so hard, it was so funny. We were laughing so hard because it was like she was putting on a little show for us haha. My blood sugar labs came back great. The doctor was impressed with the baby's heart rate. She said the baby's heart rate is fluctuating just the way they like it too (when at rest and when she is active), but she said they often don't see that until 28 weeks because it is related to the neuron connections in the brain, so the doctor said we have a little smarty pants on our hands lol. I will go back in 4 weeks for another check up. Until then hopefully things will continue to go smoothly!
