In other baby news, we start our first childbirth class tonight! I am pretty excited and anxious to be a little more informed. So, for the next 4 Wednesdays we will hopefully learn the ins and outs of what to expect so we can be slightly more prepared. I know people say they just "winged it" but I just don't think I can do that. Hopefully we will learn a lot!
Also, I found out on Thursday that I had failed the 1 hour glucose screen that tests for gestational diabetes. It was the most miserable feeling in the world. They, of course, scheduled another test so I went in during the day on Friday (while we were at the hospital waiting for Olivia anyways) and had to do the 3 hour glucose screen. Talk about torture! Fasting for 12 hours, then chugging liquid sugar, and getting blood drawn every 3 hours was enough to make me ill. And I have a pretty good tolerance for things like that! Anyways, I just found out yesterday that the test results came back and my numbers were great and I don't have to worry about the diabetes thing!! HOORAY!! It was definitely the best thing to hear. I am so relieved now...phew. I just continue to hope and pray for a smooth pregnancy for these last 8 weeks.
So, enough about me...back to a couple of pictures of the newest cutest baby girl in the family:
Congratulations! Tell you sister how happy I am for her. Oh, and I did the 3 hr diabetes test, too. It WAS torture! The instant I drank that syrup I fell asleep in the waiting room. They told me it was "common" for pregnant women to fall asleep, but I think they were just being nice. Each time they drew my blood, they had to wake me up!
