28 Weeks...



So as every pregnant woman knows around 28 weeks comes the glucose test to see if you have gestational diabetes. I had mine on Tuesday and failed. Can I just say that it was a bummer. Anyway I had to go back in and take the three hour glucose test to make sure I was diabetes free. When you take a glucose test they draw your blood, you drink a sugary drink, wait an hour, and have your blood drawn again. I passed with Daisy and since I feel that my lifestyle isn't crazy unhealthy I would be fine the second time around. Not the case. So I had to fast, go in the early morning and do all of that but just for three hours more. They also have to draw your blood four separate times every hour on the hour. I actually think its pretty interesting to have blood drawn, and kind of like to watch. The above picture is just the little bruise left over from getting pricked a few times. Anyway I passed and do not have gestational diabetes. Thank heavens, that would have been no fun.


I am in my third trimester. Could be as soon as 8 to 11 weeks away now! Crazy how quickly this pregnancy has gone by and yet how slow too. I am feeling pretty chubby these days, its hard not to feel chubby when you can't see you toes : ) We still don't have a name picked out for this little guy. New names come and go but nothing seems to fit, I am hoping by the time he comes we will have a few solid names we like. He is also so wiggly. I thought Daisy was, but she just made more room for this kid to swim, kick, poke, and stretch. He hurts. I don't remember Daisy pushing so hard against my organs. Its such a strange feeling.
I like it though. As I have said before, seeing and feeling little movements is my favorite part about being pregnant.
