A couple weeks ago, I got results of my 1 hour glucose test. I had failed. So I went back yesterday for the 3 hour glucose test. I had to sit in the blood bank, drink the horrible drink again (which made me nauseous) and then get my blood drawn every hour. It sucked. And again I failed. I was never good at taking tests.
So it looks like I will be seeing a dietician next week. I guess it isn't a huge shock, considering my grandfather had diabetes and my mother was diagnosed last year. The hope is that with gestational diabetes, my blood sugar can be controlled through diet and then it will go away. I'm just not looking forward to restricting my diet.
But I will try not to complain because we want this baby more than anything! And in the end, it will all be worth it. Besides, it's just another thing to hold over her head when she gets older and can feel guilt. :)

26 weeks
At 20 weeks, we were able to breathe a little easier. Now at 26 weeks, and with this (most likely) final ultrasound, we are finally feeling excited. We can't stop looking at this 3D image. Now I can imagine her a little more clearly when I feel her kicking around. It's amazing how you can love someone you haven't even met yet.
