I went for my 25 week
dr.'s appointment yesterday, and everything went well. I'm measuring right along where I should be. I did my glucose test..won't know the results until next week. My biggest fear is that I'm going to fail this glucose test. I felt like I was in college again preparing for a test-I ate really well on the days leading up to it. If they tell me I can't eat sugar for the rest of my pregnancy, I think I'll have to crawl in bed and not come out until May. I cannot imagine what I'll do if they tell me I have gestational diabetes. I guess you could say I have an unhealthy love affair with chocolate. I was that kid who had her Halloween candy eaten the next day. My sister, Meredith, however, saved hers until Christmas and it used to drive me crazy because I knew what drawer she hid it in. Trust me, if I would have tried to steal it, she'd know because I really think she kept a count on how much candy she had left... Anyway, the point is, I'm just praying I pass this thing. I told Dr.
Wiedower not to call me until next week if I failed. so I could at least enjoy my Valentine's candy.
I also want to brag on my sweet husband for a minute..he drove to
Texarkana Wed. night after Bible study to sit with his mom..she had surgery on Wed., and his dad had a big meeting on Thursday, so he didn't want to leave her alone all day. So, my darling husband drove to
Texarkana Wed. night-got there around 9:30 pm....woke up and hung out with his mom until after lunch on Thursday, and drove back to Benton to get me for our
dr.'s appointment that afternoon. Parker is one lucky baby to have such a great dad-I just hope he grows up to be like him!
Also, I don't know if any of you girls ever read Beth Moore's blog-you can find the link to the right. She has challenged her readers to memorize 2 Bible verses each month. I'm not saying I can memorize two per month, but below you'll find the one I memorized for January.
"Through Jesus therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise-the fruit of lips that confess His name." Hebrews 13:15.
I'll post my Feb. verse when I have it memorized!
Happy Valentine's Day to you all-we'll be spending it in childbirth class all day!
Lily, Emma, Abby, and Gavin-notice the red hair. No, none of us have red hair!! It comes from my grandfather...
Abby-she was actually the only one who behaved the entire night.
Dad and Gavin-he loves his Granddad. Dad was the only one who finally got him settled down! Something about him having a lot of practice from when my brother was little....
Mom and Lily-the first grandchild! This was before we went to church. Lily always has to spend the night with either Phillip and me (if we're staying with my parents) or Meredith when we're at my parent's house. On a side note, the night Phillip and I told everyone about Parker, mom asked Lily what she thought about me having a baby..her response, "We already have too many babies around here."
