Heading to Florida (again)

On Friday, I'm heading down to work on Hubble at Kennedy Space Center again. Hopefully, this time it will actually lift off of the ground. Launch is looking pretty good for May 12th, so here's hoping. I will be glad when the launch and mission are complete. I will be home for a quick visit the first weekend in May for my birthing class and Dr.'s appointments, then back to Florida for the launch, then Houston for the mission.

In baby news, I had my gestational diabetes test, which involves drinking a very sugary tang-like drink, then getting your blood drawn after an hour. This tests how your body handles the sugar. I was very jittery, but the baby slept right through it. The OB says that usually the baby starts going crazy with the sugar. I have had a sweet tooth lately (and the new cavity to prove it), so maybe the baby is used to the sweets.
End of Week 26 stats:
My weight gain: 11 lbs. total
Baby's heartbeat: 150 bpm
