I've been really bad at taking pictures of this whole pregnancy process. It's probably due to the fact that I don't really enjoy how I look so I'm not to excited to take any pictures. Everyone keeps telling me how small I am, but I don't believe them. I have gained 30 pounds! Yikes! I don't really throw up anymore, which I am so grateful for. My body is mostly just really tired and achy after teaching all day. The kids are really cute and like to pat my belly and tell the baby hi. It's fun to feel her move all the time and watch my belly move into weird shapes. The time seems to be going by pretty fast, but I wish it would go faster. At my last appointment I had to fast for 12 hours so they could do a glucose test on me to check and make sure I didn't have gestational diabetes. I think your supposed to be under 120 or 140 (I can't remember) and I was at 170. The doctor was really surprised that I didn't pass the test because everything has been going pretty well. Since I failed that first test I had to do a longer test which takes 3 hours and I had to fast for 12 hours before taking it. I decided to do it the next day to get it over with because I was starting to freak out about possibly having diabetes. I fasted that night and went to the doctor's office the next morning to start the testing. I passed! The fast ended up being 17 hours, but I was glad that I didn't have the diabetes.

I'm so glad you posted a picture! Even if you didn't want to (I don't blame you... I didn't like the way I looked either). I think you look great! I'm glad the throwing up has stopped (that's misery!). You are a very cute pregnant person, and even if you continue to gain weight... it's okay! I say live it up. You'll lose it all again. (I gained a total of 50 lb- mostly water- and I lost 30 in the first 2 weeks.) Anyway, you're doing a good job! :)
I would've been super suprised if you had diabetes...usually when you do you get really, REALLY big. I gained like 50 lbs. with both kids, so don't worry. You look great!
love your blog! How come I haven't known about it til now? ;) It's so fun to read through your posts. I got you on my list now, and will definitely be keeping tabs on you and your little girl through the summer :) 2 weeks of school left, yay! and you're almost a mom! I can't imagine being as far as you and teaching all day...you amaze me! ;)
