...but I've been bad. I haven't even updated my son's baby book in several months. Ugh, there's just not enough time in the day and I cherish my sleep, especially since I'm pregnant.
Anyway, here's a quick update on the pregnancy. We found out at 20 weeks that we're having a little girl. We decided to name her Emily Rebecca. Rebecca is my maternal grandmother's middle name. We went with Emily because my husband and I both liked it.
Emily kicks like a bucking bronco. She's my little acrobat. I had my glucose test done this past Thursday. I failed it. So I went in Saturday to the medical mall to get the 3 hour test done. They drew blood twice from both arms and my left arm is bruised a little. I won't know the results probably in about a week. Hopefully everything is fine. I didn't have any problems with my last pregnancy. The nurses said I would probably pass my 3 hour test since my glucose numbers were just over the cutoff mark of 140. I was at 145. There's apparently a history of diabetes on my dad's side of the family which I didn't know about until recently. My husband and I are going on a diabetes diet regardless if I have gestational diabetes or not. He's lost 10 lbs (I'm so proud of him!) in a week so far and I've lost a lb. I don't need to lose too much, just maintain a healthy pregnancy weight and I'm a little over into the unhealthy weight range. Cutting back on bad carbs and eating good carbs makes a big difference it seems =)
But Emily is doing well, her heart rate at my last checkup was 148 and measured at 26-27 weeks (i'm 25 weeks). She likes kicking the nurses and swimming around while they try to find her heart beat lol. She got the hiccups for the first time last night. It was so cute =)
So just 3 months to go before we get to welcome our next little bundle of joy!
Thank You
