Well, since my pregnancy is practically over (well, not exactly) I thought it would be fitting to post an update. I'll be 29 weeks along tomorrow and I just had my lovely glucose tolerance test yesterday. Got a call today saying I failed the test and now I have to do the 3 hour test. I am bummed because yesterday I also had an ultrasound and they said they thought the baby was measuring a little large (3.5 pounds) and they asked if I had taken my GTT yet, so I thought it was a bad omen. My next test won't be until next Thursday, but I have decided in the meantime to modify my diet now in the event that I do have gestational diabetes, because I don't want to create any additional risk for the baby in the next week. Other than that, my pregnancy has been going pretty well and I have some cute ultrasound pics to post later when I can scan them in. QJ, I know you went through this so even though I haven't been diagnosed yet, I still want to be cautious and any advice (or meal plans!) you have would be really helpful!

Sierra's really excited about her little brother and she already includes him as part of the family. We've been calling him Howie as a nickname, but we haven't picked his "real name" yet.

I just finished taking three online classes, which totally wiped out my time and energy, but I am now finally going to focus on baby planning, purchasing a crib and other necessities and finally getting the house ready!
