With both my glucose testing (DS and last week with DD) they told me to not eat or drink anything besides water after 12 at night so it wasn't too bad although I was really hungry afterwards. With DS I was 138 with the hour went back to take the 3hr and was 138 again and if you're above a 136 you're considered Gestational Diabetic. With DD my results came back and I was only a 111 so I passed with flying colors as my doc office said today lol I start goin' every two weeks now :)

YAY for passing! I passed mine too and start going to the doc every 2 weeks now. The rest of the pregnancy will fly with all of these appointments.

I know I sure hope so I can't wait to meet her and hold her :). plus hopefully some of this horrendous back pain will go away. Hot baths have become my very best friend lol
 
I've just realised that, at last, I'm into double figures today :happydance: I really better get on with getting things ready for baby!
 
Sazzle, I hear you! I just reached double digits too and now feel like I should really get my act together, especially since my first born was a month early and I was on bed rest for a couple weeks before she arrived! I made a to do list this morning with everything we need to do and buy!
 
I've got a to do list on the notes on my phone. I'm slightly freaked out by how long it is & how little fee time I have!

I'm freaked out too! Especially since we will be moving in March. I can't even set up the nursery until the move 3 weeks before my c-section.
 
I have my first shower next weekend and the following week we will be setting up the nursey...so anxious to get started because it feels so close!! Have a second shower early feb so will wait until after that to buy anything.

Congrats on hitting double digits!! :happydance:
 
Nothing really to report but just wanted to say that we got to see our little man again today! Doctor is happy & said his head is where it should be & his heartbeat was good. Blood pressure & keytones were fine & back again in a month :happydance:

I'm hoping that the stress will motivate me to get things done!

I've got to decorate the spare room to make it into a bedroom for DS. Then move him out of the nursery before patching up the decor in there & getting a new carpet laid and putting the cot bed back together. Then there's still all the baby things to find out of various hiding places (garage, loft, cupboards!), washing of things to do. Argh!!! I'm getting more stressed just listing it all again!!! Must keep calm :)
 
Congrats Karry!

Congrats on double digits too Sazzle :)

I was just wondering what everyones planning to do for a jacket for your newborns when out and about? Callums in school nursery so goes every day so LO will be outside in the pram daily. With Callum he was born in June and it was so hot so he just had either a light jacket on or just a light blanket on. April can be so hit and miss with the weather though. Ive bought her a light jacket down to £2 in the asda sale (bargain!) and I wanna get her a few cardigans but not sure whether to get a coat/heavier jacket/pram suit or just wait and see? What is everyone else doing? Xx
 
When it isn't too cold out I just dress the baby in normal indoor clothes (I prefer sleepers for the first 3 months... :haha:) and then cover baby with a weather-appropriate blanket. If it's super cold I just fold the blanket into quarters so it's 4 times as thick! Hat or no hat is a great way to regulate temp too. :)

I'm lucky enough not to have a ton of stuff to do to prepare for baby. I have to go through bins to find newborn boy and girl clothes, but other than that I think we're set! I suppose that's one benefit to having babies so close together. :haha:
 
DS was also born in April. I had a thick-ish hooded jacket from M&S for him in newborn size (in white cos we were team :yellow: then as well). It was soft cotton & kind of wadded so it was warm. I just used that with a blanket. Someone did actually buy me a full winter snow suit in new born size (no idea why at that time of year :shrug: )but I sneakily returned it & bought the exact same one in 6-9 month size for when winter came :haha:
 
I just bragged about keeping up with this thread and being proud of myself, and then I went MIA for 3-4 days. :dohh: Sounds like everyone is doing awesome!! Those ultrasound photos (can't remember whose, so sorry!) were adorable!

Waiting the results of my GD test. I'm thinking no news is good news, I got a phone call from my OB when I failed the 1 hour with my son (passed the 3 hour though). Haven't gotten a phone call yet this time, so FX I don't have to do the 3 hour.

Baby girl's movements are getting so strong. The other night, DH was feeling my belly and I said "Charlee, move for daddy". She did this crazy sliver across my belly and it freaked DH out. :haha: I love that she responded to what I said though, probably coincidence. :winkwink:

I'm pretty stressed about getting everything ready. SO SO MUCH to do. I think I"m going to start spending all free time at least going through baby clothes from DS and organizing her room.
 
Hi girls!

I passed my GD test!!:happydance::happydance:

I am, however, anemic again, just like my first pregnancy. I started my Iron supplements this morning.

I can totally understand everyone's need to start preparing for baby. I spent the majority of my weekend cleaning out all of DD's clothes and organizing her room. I also got paint chips and chose colors for the baby's room. I am hoping to start painting it this weekend! I think they call this nesting?:haha:

I was so pleasantly surprised by how many clothes I found that are suitable for a baby boy! I had forgotten how many gender neutral things we had since DD was a surprise.:dohh: We really are all set, and don't need to buy anything else!

Well, 25 weeks today, I feel like every week is an accomplishment now, getting baby bigger and stronger and closer to being ready to enter the world. We've come a long way, mamas!:hugs:
 
We have the specialist ultrasound today, in 2 hours. I'll keep you all posted on what the Dr. says.
 
Good luck mono! I'm sure everything will be okay :hugs:
 
Congrats on passing the GD test Caitlin! :D I always get anemic too, which is at least super treatable. The only down side is the constipation iron causes... :growlmad:

Good luck, momofone! I'll be thinking of you and praying for great results at your scan. :hugs:
 
Congrats on passing the GD! I'm still in limbo waiting on results.

Momofone- Good luck and can't wait to hear how it went! :hugs:
