30 Weeks

This is going to be short, because I am beyond exhausted. I did rest this weekend, but not as much as I normally do. Aunt Pam's birthday party was on Friday night, and my dad and I had a combined birthday party party on Saturday night. Sunday was church as usual. I went to bed earlier last night than I did the previous Sunday night. It's just been a long day - good, but long.

My glucose tolerance test went better than I expected. When it was over, my head didn't hurt and my hands weren't even shaking. During the last hour of my test, Wes went to Larry's Giant Subs to get some lunch for the both of us. After the test was over, I ate that, plus the snacks I'd brought with me, but I didn't feel like I would faint if I didn't eat. So far, I haven't heard anything from the doctor. I may call later this week to make sure Lab Corp faxed the results to the office, but usually no news is good news.

Isaac seems to really enjoy music. I played some classical music to him through the fetal microphone, and there was a ton of movement during that time. For the last couple of weeks, I've also felt movement during choir practice. Then today, I was practicing a song for the talent show, and he moved in response to that too.

Yes, talent show. The student council is putting together a talent show for this Thursday as a way to raise money for their group, and I told Shannon I'd sing if she needed me. So now I'm singing Breath of Heaven on Thursday night. I've been practicing it quite a bit today. I sang the song multiple times, and Isaac moved most of those times. It's really a fitting song for me to sing too, being "great with child" right now. Wes and I were Mary and Joseph in our church's Christmas cantata last year, so I have a Mary costume that I'm going to wear while I'm singing. I tried it on today, and it still fits. I just hope I don't get really nervous and mess up the song. I usually only sing in church, which is a much less threatening environment.

Well, it's almost my bedtime. Time to get ready for another day!
