25 Weeks Pregnant

So today I had my GTT (Glucose Tolerance Test) which wasn't too bad. 
I had to not eat from 10pm yesterday evening until after the test which was about
11am today. 
I was fine with not being able to have breakfast as I usual get quiet nauseous
if I eat later than I am use to. 
I think the glucose drink really helped me to hold out. 
 I got my first lot of bloods taken at 9 am and then drank the
orange flavored drink and had to wait 2 hours in the waiting room and then 
at 11 am had another lot of bloods taken. 

If you have to have a GTT I would definitely recommend bringing something to distract you 
for the 2 hour wait. I brought a book with me which was a massive help at
making the time go. 

Yesterday I also managed to get a video on my phone of baby kicking me 
it's so cute as you can see baby's little kicks and movements. 
I wont be sharing the video though as Stuart and I wanted to keep the video for us 
to see only.
