27 weeks

Yesterday I had a check-up. I had the glucose test done and I failed it. My doctor said a lot of people fail the 1 hour test and will come back and pass the 3 hour test. Anyway, I have to go back on Monday and be retested. If I fail, they will set me up with a dietician to help me control my gestational diabetes. If I pass, I am good to go. My sister Linda had gestational diabetes with her first child. I'm not worried either way. It is nothing I did or didn't do if I have it. Everything else checked out great though. Our Little Bitty Levin's heartbeat sounded great. I recorded it on my phone. I'll play it for you whenever I see you next. :) The doc checked my legs and said if the swelling continues, she will do a doppler check for clots. She did not think it was a clot, because I have swelling equally in both calves and it did not hurt when she manipulated my legs. She said to keep wearing my support hose and maternity belt.

Here is the baby dresser my sister has stored away for me. Linda lives in Illinois, so she is going to meet my parents in KY soon to pass this beautiful piece of furniture off. The color matches my glider perfectly! I can't wait to get it up in the nursery. Love it, love it, love it! :)

SOME MORE GOOD NEWS!!!

My sister Melissa called yesterday and said she will watch our Little Bitty Levin when I go back to school in the fall. As much as I hate the thought of going back to work, Nick and I are so happy we will be able to leave our little boy with someone who will love him like their own. Plus, my parents are right across the street in case Melissa ever needs a break or our baby boy justs needs some extra Grandmother or Granddad love. :) Melissa's youngest will be starting kindergarten in the fall. She is a great mommy!
