Some of you may remember that when I was pregnant with Ellie, I had gestational diabetes. Once you have it, you are something like 60% more likely to have it with subsequent pregnancies. So I just knew I was going to be dealing with this nuisance again.
I had my glucose test last Thursday (24ish weeks) and I was dreading it. But I got the call from my nurse yesterday, and I PASSED!!!

I’ve been incredibly lazy about blogging lately. Not sure why, mostly a combination of feeling fat, ugly, and not wanting to be in pictures. I am sliding down that Stay at Home Mom Who Let Herself Go slope very quickly… I have to remind myself to shower, put on makeup, and to actually *try* to look somewhat put together. And don’t even get me started on the body hair situation. I just cant keep up with the growth! If only the hair on my head would grow as fast as the hair on my legs. Sigh…

Ellie’s big girl room is almost completely finished so hopefully I will get some pictures taken soon. Tonight is her first night sleeping without the safety rail on her daybed. Hopefully we don’t hear any loud thumps tonight!

My sweet MIL gave me a gift card to a local maternity boutique and I went hog wild in there today! I stocked up on nursing supplies, lanolin, nipple shields, pump bags, and a super-nice nursing tank. Despite this list, we havent bought ANYTHING for Foster yet! Hopefully when the next big paycheck rolls in ; )

Woohoo! Congratulations on passing your glucose test! With my second pregnancy, I failed my 1 hour but luckily passed my 3 hour one. I was so scared about failing. I'm a carb/sugar/sweets addict so I was petrified I was going to have to eliminate them from my diet. So glad I didn't have to. :)
Way to go! Also, with the body hair - it is totally because you are carrying a boy. I know it's a wives tale, but it is a true one. I had a lovely jowlish beard of sorts I had to wax when I was carrying my son and waxing my brows every two weeks was not enough. Ridiculous. But, when I carried my daughter I only had that lovely, luxurious mane on my head. Must be the extra testosterone or something. No worries. It'll be gone before summer clothes season.
I was cracking up reading this post! Body hair growth... Amen!! I can't wait to see Ellie's big girl room!
Congrats on passing the glucose test. I like you, was diagnosed with GD my first pregnancy. I'm dreading when/if we have baby number 2. Maybe I'll be as fortunate as you?
You passing the glucose test gives me hope that when I get pregnant again I won't fail either.
I have days where I have to remind myself to shower too. I think it's par for the course with depression, don't feel bad. <3
