Gestational What?

The gestational diabetes test has come and gone and I lived to see another day with a 4 p.m. Milky Way break! That's right, I passed. I wasn't really concerned that I would fail but I wasn't looking forward to the bland diabetic diet I would have to be on if I did fail. Although I was kind of secretly thinking that a diabetic diet might not be such a bad thing when it came to keeping my weight in check. But I passed so that's that. The sugar water stuff wasn't all that bad. It tasted a lot like a really watered down Sunkist. I don't know what the lemon lime flavor would taste like but I think I'll stick with Orange in future pregnancies because I now know its bearable.

In other good news from today's doctor's appt. - I haven't gained any weight!! I'm holding steady at 184, which is a huge number but my doctor isn't concerned so neither am I. I rewarded myself with McDonald's Hot Cakes BUT don't worry, I made up for my crappy breakfast with a salad at lunch. At 26 weeks (this week) AP is viable and my doctor said now that I've made it to that point she doesn't have to worry about me as much, which means I don't have to worry about AP as much - AWESOME!!

Next week, on April 6th, I will officially be in the 3rd trimester a.k.a the last leg of the pregnancy. I can't believe how quickly time has passed! Darrell and I have a little photo session on the 27th with Robby Followell and our 30 week sonogram on the 28th and then beginning in May we'll start having bi-weekly doctor's appointments and that my friends signals the beginning of the countdown to her arrival. I really can't get over how quickly it has all passed, and I don't have a single thing in her nursery yet!!!! AGHHH!!

I had an impromptu sonogram on March 24th as a precautionary measure due to some very light, very minor spotting and AP is looking more like her Daddy than me these days. It kind of makes me sad that she may not have the pug nose but either way she'll be as cute as a button! I obviously wasn't prepared for the sonogram and didn't have a CD for them to put it on so I had to take a picture of the picture and it's not very good quality. But it works for comparison purposes. She looks like a completely different kid. If she wasn't in my belly, I'd swear someone switched her with another baby!!
