How are you feeling?
Lots of stretching going on and I am super swollen every where. Had to take my wedding rings off, never had to do that with my first and we aren't even close to summer time here yet.

I felt outside kicks for the first time last night! And it happened while lying in bed with DH, so he was able to feel them, too! She gave him one really good kick.

I'm waiting for my follow up scan right now. They didn't get a good shot of one of the heart structures at my AS, so they asked if I could come back. They told me it was optional, but I'm feeling pretty anxious. I think it's partly because I'm here alone this time, and I just keep imagining getting bad news without anyone here to support me.
I started this Friday morning, then life happened and I couldn't get back to it until now (Saturday morning). So, now that I've had the scan...
They got the view of the heart that they needed, but they measured me right at the border for too much fluid. I didn't realize that was a thing, but it sounds like it can be just individual variation, or a sign of gestational diabetes or a problem with the baby. Since I'm exactly at the cutoff (8 cm), it may just have been a high fluid day, too. Even if there's no real cause for the high fluid, it can cause problems in itself, putting too much stress on the uterus, or leading to other problems in labor. They want me to come back in 5 weeks for another scan, and I'm supposed to get tested for gestational diabetes sooner than later, so they know the results by the next scan.
So, I'm a bit freaked out, but I'm trying to stay calm. Given that the baby looks fine in every other way, I think it's unlikely to be a problem with her. And GD doesn't sound like any fun, but it's manageable. And given that I'm borderline, there's a strong possibility that there's nothing wrong anyway. So I'm telling myself that this is not something to worry too much about.
I'm going to ask in the questions thread if anyone else has experience with this.
GTKY: (Stolen) What is a great song and/or movie from the year you were born?
I'm pretty sure Ghostbusters came out the year I was born. That movie is awesome.
Bonus GTKY: What is something you are constantly picking up from the floor in your household?
Um... I've gotten to the point of just leaving things on the floor. But I try to pick up food and cups. And crayons.
