12 Weeks and Sugar Blues

I can hardly believe I am already 12 weeks pregnant.  Time is really moving fast.  And I am sure it will move even faster with 2 little ones.  So I had my monthly check-up yesterday, and all was fine with baby.  The little heartbeat was just pounding away.  My doctor told me she would be surprised if this wasn’t a little girl.  Her heartbeat was around 155, and I guess the word is that the higher heartbeats belong to the girls.  I think it’s because we’re so emotional and feel everything with our hearts.  My guess anyway!  I am a little skeptical of statistics like that, but we shall see!  Then I read Kelly’s blog where her little Hollis had a heartbeat of 150, so maybe it is a girl, I don’t know.

I had the dreaded task of taking an early glucose test yesterday too.  My sugar was high in the prenatal labs, so I had to go ahead and get that checked.  I was really not looking forward to it.  I mean, who does, really?  And it was as bad as I remembered it being with Parker.  Except this time, I had the pregnancy nausea to throw into the mix.  I survived though.  I put on my big girl clothes and used a little positive mental reinforcement to survive.  No need to describe!  I am really praying for everything to be ok, and that if I do have GD, that the Lord will give me the discipline I need to follow a healthy diet and deliver a healthy baby.  No matter boy or girl, I just want us to be healthy.

On a positive note, I lost 4 lbs since my last OB visit!  How that’s possible, I don’t know, but I was thrilled.  This is the first time in my life that I actually lost weight through the Christmas season!!
