I failed!

So what is it about failing, even if you have no control over it what-so-ever, makes you feel well like a failure. So you may be asking yourself, what did I fail? I failed my one hour glucose tolerance test at my 26 week OB appointment. I did everything they said to do. I didn't eat sweets...in fact I only had water that morning. But after drinking the fluid and waiting an hour, they tested my blood sugar, and yup it was too high. So congrats to me I am the lucky winner of a three hour glucose tolerance test at the lab. So tomorrow morning at 7am after my total FAST I go to the lab to drink the fluid again and have them draw blood three to four times over the course of three hours. How fun....well lets just hope I got a false positive the first go around (apparently failing the first test is rather common) and this is just a good precaution. But I still feel like a failure.



With that said the rest of my appointment went well. I have officially gained a total of 25 lbs., basically stating I am the size of a normal 9 month pregnancy at 26 weeks. According to the Ob's I am right on track for twins and shoud have 15-25 more lbs to go. Oh the joys of carrying twins:) My OB has decreased my work week from 5 days a week to 4 days a week. So starting next week I will work Monday and Tuesday, have Wednesday off, and work Thursday and Friday. Not so bad since I have weekly doctors appointments on Wednesdays anyway...except for next week! I have no appointments next week at all!!! But the following week back to weekly ultrasound appointments and now I will start seeing my OB every two weeks. But don't get me wrong I'm not complaining. I have been extremely blessed with this pregnancy thus far with little to no problems. I hope to carry these girls until at least 36 weeks!
