Update on TJ :) READ
Well, we got the results of our fetal echo today. It was his heart test to find out if he was 1 of the %40 of babies with down syndrome that have a heart problem.
Guess what? They said that as far as they can see his heart looks GOOD! if there are any problems then it's a tiny defect that'll heal it'sself and they're not even sure there is one!!! But She (shelly the woman who's given me my results on my tests so far) said that nothing jumped out at him and he looks good and healthy!
FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS!

Krissyy~ They told me technically I only had to fast if I needed the 3 hr. but they seemed happy I was fasting anywayse. I didn't eat anything after dinner last night. which sucked because I threw up so it was like I hadn't eaten since lunch...ugh
I can tell you, the drink tasted like a defrosted Otterpop. (orange flavor) VERY sugary, with a little fizz.
It was cold and about 3-5min after I drank it TJ moved around like CRAZY!! it was like he was on SUPERDRIVE!
He's probably kicked me about 80 TIMES today.. the most EVER!
Wendy80~ Thats so cool, the thing that makes me happy is that my 3 yr. wedding anniversary is September 9!

New update on TJ and Me
It turns out TJ's new b'day will probably be Sep. 5! because they'll be doing a csection 1 week before he's due.
I had my diabetes test today and had to drink the nasty orange drink...But I find out my results in a few days.
Oh, and to date I've put on a grand total of 7 1/2lbs in just over 6 months!
Which is great for me, and is fine for TJ too. My OB said no more IBprofen not even occasionally and gave me some vicoden for my migraines. Woo. lol, I'm only to take it when needed every so often.
After I had to drink the orange drink for my test today TJ went NUTS, moving and flipping and kicking! maybe another couple weeks and we'll be able to feel it on the outside.

Congrats on the good news, I got to spend some time with my cousin's baby that has downs and she is just full of life, Im sure she doesnt have a clue that she is a little different...they are still working with her they had a really cool chair that she was sitting in to help her learn posture, she was alot of fun.
