well, today has been pretty eventful! i got up around 730 (thanks to a late doctors appointment!) and went down to the FM police station. the detective had called me yesterday at work to see if i could come in and identify the girl who stole my packages in a photo line up! i was so nervous about it because i didn't want to falsely identify someone. but then again, if it wasn't the picture of the girl registered to the car, i doubt they'd do anything anyway. luckily, i quickly identified her! i couldn't believe that i actually remembered! i mean, normally i have a freakishly good memory, but this pregnancy stuff has completely thrown me for a loop! at first, he wasn't going to tell me if i picked right or not, but at the very end, he told me i did. i doubt anything will come of this, but i'm resting in the fact that i've done all i can do! whatever happens from here on out is completely in God's hands.
after the police station, i had to fly to the doctor...i guess i wasn't watching my time too well. today was my glucose test (i'm just about 28 weeks!). i had to make sure i was having my blood drawn exactly 1 hour after drinking this super yummy chalky orange nastiness....it really wasn't that gross, but i'm not trading in my orange fanta for it! i got there in plenty of time, had my blood drawn, and should have those results back on monday. my appointment wasn't anything special. i guess she's getting to the age where you can't see all of her on one screen, so i was back to not knowing what in the world i was looking at. here's the important stuff: her head is measuring about 8 days ahead of schedule--i'm thinking she got that from the libby side. the rest of her body is measuring about 1-2 weeks smaller than her gestation....i'm not sure where that's coming from. i was an 8lb 4oz baby, so who knows. the last appointment (granted, that was week 20) she was in the 48th percentile....now she's in the 24th. the doctor says it's nothing to worry about. she's still within the normal range of everything, just small--with a big head! :) her heart rate has slowed down to about 127 bpm, and she's already turned with her head down. i think it's great news that she's already turned with her head down! less likely i'll need a c-section! woohoo! but from now on, i go to the doctor every 2 weeks. my next appointment is on christmas eve! hopefully drew will get to go to that one since he'll be off work.
other than that, not a lot going on. drew won his first 8th grade game last thursday, so we're looking for a repeat tonight. tomorrow night we have a christmas part at my friend, joanna's house. and saturday will be full of running errands and relaxing, i'm sure.
happy thursday!

Wait a minute - I thought you weren't due until the spring??? When is she due?
I was always so excited when I got to the two week appointments - I'm just so impatient and that meant we were getting closer.
Mmmmmm - yummy orange glucose drink....
If you have any showers, I'd love to come shower you with a gift for your sweet girl!!! :)
All I have to say is "short people are cool."
Hey, Jamie!
Thanks! Um it's called high colestrol (sp?) and your doctor telling you that your going to make you spouse a widow if you don't watch what you eat, it's no fun! I was just talkng to Court the other day about you guys! I miss you guys and would love to you and that growing belly! I can't wait for you guys to be parents!
Jamie, I'm so jealous that you know so much about your little girl! :) I wish I was getting as many sonograms as you are so that I could see Camryn more! All I know is that she's getting bigger and that she's doing good...I guess that's all I really need, huh? :)
