Our Kids

Today I did my fasting glucose test because I failed my first test. No I have not been sitting around eating candy bars although I have used the pregnancy to eat more cookies, ice cream and cinnamon rolls than I normally allow myself. I don’t think my side of the family processes sugars too well anyway so I think the “failure” is more along those lines than anything having to do with the pregnancy. I peed in a cup four times and was pricked five times, in the hand since my veins are hard to get. I thought it was all going well until the last one and after that I could tell that I had not eaten in a long time. I could barely keep my eyes open and was sweating and getting the shakes:) But Jason was such the gentleman and drove me back and forth from the hospital each time and then whisked me away for lunch as soon as I was finished. He is such a treasure to me. I think he feels slightly guilty as if all the poking and proding the doctors are doing is somehow his fault, which we all know it is not. He is so grateful that I am carrying the girls and he tells me that often. He is going to be a better dad to them than they could ever wish for.

They were pretty active all weekend and their kicks are getting stronger so I think that means they are continuing to grow. We have another ultrasound on the 29th so we will be able to see just how much they have grown in two weeks. We don’t get photos of them anymore because they are just too big and the photo would just be of some body part, probably a kidney since we see those pretty clearly:)

I had a very restful weekend, sat with my feet up and was pampered like a princess. This is a short week so I am expecting more of the same this weekend. I have another check up on Wednesday to check my blood pressure and teetee sample again and to get the results of today’s tests. I guess that is all the news for now.
