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!!
