Pregnancy Update

I am 25 weeks, 3 days today. This baby should be here in about three months. Crazy really. The time has flown already and will only start going faster I'm sure. I went to the doctor today for a normal check and gained one pound in the past four weeks. I'm still down about thirteen pounds since I got pregnant, but this is the first gain I've had, so that's good! I also failed my glucose tolerance test today. I think that it wasn't wise to have a granola bar and some Coke early this morning. I have to go to the hospital for a three hour test to get rechecked. I'm not really nervous since I haven't had issues in the past and think it's probably more related to my breakfast than anything. :) My doctor also told me to lay off sweets and pop for the few days leading up to the test, so that will probably help!

We also think we've decided on a name. Finally. We've been talking a lot and haven't come up with anything we like. Or one of us loves a name and the other hates it. I knew that it would be a name that we haven't discussed and when we did say the name, we would know it. I'm assuming we'll share it ahead of time, but since Colin and I haven't specifically discussed that I probably shouldn't blab it on my blog yet. :)

Everything else is going well. Tomorrow is a nice day since neither kid has school...we'll have a pajama day and lounge I'm sure. Haircuts for Colin and Henry at night and possibly a visit to Santa. Enjoy the rest of your week!

Good luck with the extended test! Oh, and I have a secret and I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I might tell you, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to tell you, so I'm just going to keep my secret. :)

Whoops. What I meant to say was, "Good luck with the extended test! And I'm so, so happy you decided on a name for your beautiful baby. Since you picked such amazing names for your first two children, I'm sure that your third child will have a fabulous name as well."

I don't know where that other comment came from.

Glad you gained a pound girl - the Dr. was probably a little happy about that. Bummer about failing the test though - the three hr one is quite boring I have heard. Hope you had a nice pajama day!

Good luck with the extended test! When I was pregnant with Sam I failed and had to do the extended one. I am not going to lie, it was awful. Bring a good book or magazine!!

Oh, and I did the three hour test with Simon and it wasn't that bad....no worries!

If you don't tell me the name I will always call her "mudd." Your choice. Love you. Sitting through a 3 hour test can't be as bad as not being able to see out of your swollen eyes during the last trimester. :) You'll do great!
