Well, just to prove that no pregnancy is alike, I just found out that I have gestational diabetes. Yuck. My blood sugar was one point above what it was supposed to be on my three hour glucose tolerance test and I am now considered a "high risk pregnancy." That means more tests, more sonograms, more monitoring. Ugh. The good thing is, I can easily control it with diet and exercise, which I have been keeping up with pretty well already. I had noticed that I have gotten bigger sooner with this one than with Conner without really gaining much weight at all, but kind of wrote it off as it being my second pregnancy. So, nothing to be too terribly concerned about as long as I do my part, but still a little scary. After going to a diabetes specialist yesterday, I now know everything there is to know about it! Only two months to go!!

We will be praying for you! I can't believe you are almost done! Wow! Time flies!
Mmmmm, you got to drink the yummy glucose syrup. What was your flavor of choice? Orange? Fruit Punch? As if flavoring it makes it any better, ugh!!
How is it possible that you only have 2 months left?! I gotta get to shopping!!!
