Good News

They say it’s the little things in life. Well “They” are right. I had my Gestational Diabetes test on Monday. I was not looking forward to it for numerous reasons…

1. I don’t do well with bloodwork
2. I am already border-line diabetic and take medication
3. I was sure I would fail and have to return for the dreaded 3 hour screening
4. My doctor told me I was at higher risk than most

Well…..I PASSED! Yes not only do I not have to return for the 3 hour test…I do not have gestational diabetes. You would think I hit the lottery…my smile is so big. Although it wasn’t all good news. I am now anemic and have to start taking some iron pills daily but they said that is pretty common for pregnant women.

At my doctor appointment I gained a lot more weight, but Dr. Hayes wasn’t really concerned which is good because my only other option would be to start dieting. And now I start going to see her every 2 weeks instead of 4 because now I am in the third and final trimester. I guess this is really happening!

Bump Update....

or should I say....BUMP update. I should learn from previous photos that I need to turn completely to the side instead of this angle shot....it makes me look way bigger than I am. I mean dont get me wrong I am huge but I think this makes me look like I am 9 months...when in reality I have 3 more to go. Only 1 more week and then we are in the third trimester. HOLY MOLY I AM GOING TO HAVE A BABY SOON!!!

And i probably shouldnt take photos on rainy days...doesnt do much for the look. OH Well....
