Some updates since last time. At 24 weeks I had to do my glucose testing to make sure I do not have gestational diabetes. Take down a sugar drink and get blood taken an hour afterward. A couple of days later I got a note from my Dr. saying that I had to take the 3 hour glucose test because my sugar levels where a little high. I obviously began to worry and did exactly what Lamb tells me NOT to do and googled causes of gestational diabetes. I literally had nothing that would perhaps cause it (obesity, history of diabetes, etc). So I did a suggested diet for 3 days and then had to fast for 12hrs before taking it again. This was by far the most miserable thing I have done. Once I got to the diagnostics place she drew my blood and I had to drink the sugar stuff again. She told me I would have to check in every hour for the next 3 hours and get blood taken and.....I COULD NOT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING!! Who tells a pregnant woman she cannot eat?! At the 3rd blood drawing I asked what happens if I threw up (because it was that or passing out at that point) and she said I would have to do it again. That was all the motivation I needed...I finished and got Del Taco for lunch :) I got my results at my Dr. appt Tuesday and all was clear. I asked the nurse if I should take any precautions since my first test was elevated. She said let me see how over you were, turns out I was ONLY 1 point over!! Their cut off is 140 and I was about 141.2. Better safe then sorry so they say....
Below is a picture of me at 26 weeks, yes I am getting large and I know it and feel it. Lamb made fun of me because I wanted to take the picture before my work xmas party since I was dressed up.... hey, no need to make the frumpy look more frumpy. And yay for bangs growing out :)
I also went home for Thanksgiving and got to see the family. Some of you may already know but all of us sisters are pregnant, well, Daniella had baby Ari this past Saturday but below is a couple of pictures of the bunch. Bianca is due Feb. 7, naming her little girl Saige. I told my sister Daniella we should call the Guinness Book of World Records because all of us where pregnant at the same time. Her response..."we are not the first group of Hispanic sisters". Touche my friend, touche. Ha
