Worries

Week 15 (2nd Trimester)
Well, I got my results back (last week at my Dr's appointment) from the lab regarding the 3 hour Glucose Test and it came back with flying colors!!! I was so anxious because I hadn't hear anything from them ever since I took the test. Usually, Sharp is really good at contacting you ASAP (like 1-2 days) if tests come back abnormal. I was too scared to check my online lab results to see so I opted to wait for my appointment to hear the news. I did check out the lab results later and find that my numbers were quite low (away from the GD diagnosis). OK-so I was at 13 weeks then. They'll test me again later on (probably the standard 28 weeks) and monitor the urine samples every appointment? I'm hoping that the GD won't creep up on me later. If so-let's hope it creeps up like just when I'm almost done! I'll still manage my diet as if I have GD just to be on the safe side. Actually, I was doing that ever after pregnancy with Lil' M.


Unit 2 is totally showing up a little more. The tummy is more pronounced and it sits up high.
Just realized, I need to start taking shots of the tummy! There's all these entertaining elements to this pregnancy as far as what sex it'll be. I LOVE spicy foods and MEAT. So opposite of the first pregnancy. So-of course signs point to that it's a boy :). We'll see. June 6 we'll find out! I can't wait. It'll make this baby a little more real for me and give me more connection to it. We'll solidify on a name (and we do have one for each sex...) and start preparing for the nursery a little more. I don't want to scramble at the last minute like we did with Lil' M. I was petrified when she came early- the first thing I said to Big M was "I'm not ready! I don't have the nursery done yet...the furniture hasn't arrived for her yet!". No no--it's not going to go down that way this time. ;) Not if we can help it. Plus, I'll be able to give away the girl clothes that I don't want (from Lil M's newborn/baby days). I don't want to accumulate anymore old clothes. I'll only keep a few for keepsake. BUT I'm not going to go crazy and keep EVERYTHING just in the slight hope I pass it on to my kids. First time parents want to pick out their own kids clothes (IMOH). Unless it's like a religious/family heirloom piece?
