Chris isn't the only one who gets to take tests these days! We had our 28 week appointment today and gestational diabetes test and I passed! I always get a little nervous before tests, so I was relieved to hear I passed with flying colors. I had to drink a liquid that I explained to Chris as REALLY flat, non-carbonated, REALLY sugary 7-Up. YUMMY! :) It actually wasn't that bad...I didn't even gag (which I sometimes do at gross things)! An hour after you drink this lovely concoction, they want your blood sugar to be below 140 and mine was 111, so we are good to go!
The doc said everything is looking really great, and me and baby are very healthy so we don't need to go back for another 4 weeks. Usually at 28 weeks, they have you start coming every 2 weeks, but because we are doing so well we can wait 4. After that (at 32 wks), we have to go every 2 wks for a couple times and then its down to every 1 week from weeks 36-40. We made the rest of our appointments today, so that was a bit strange. The light at the end of the tunnel is starting to shine!
I am measuring about a week further along than I am (which isn't a big deal), so we will see how I look at our next appointment. Maybe I won't have to go the full 40 weeks?! OR...maybe we will have a large baby. :) Chris was a 9 pounder you know!!!
Love you all and thanks so much for your prayers and support...let's keep this girl cookin'!

it's a good thing you don't want a "small baby"
Big babies with big heads are fun to push out! Just ask about ray ray :)
