{30 Weeks}

I am a little late on updating the blog. We had an appointment this past Tuesday, which went very well. I only gained a pound and a half, which is a total of 2.5 pounds for the entire pregnancy, with weight gain and loss fluctuation, of course. My blood pressure was good and the only major topic of discussion was how I failed the first glucose test. Susan was very nice about it and said that 140 was passing and my blood sugar was at 145 that day, so I barely failed. She is confident that I will pass the dreaded three hour diabetes test, which I knocked out today. Between the new game, Angry Birds Space, a book, Mad Men on Netflix, texting and walking around Vintage Stock for a little bit, I managed to make the time pass. Thankfully, I didn't pass out or get sick from the test. I just left with a bruised left arm since she couldn't find a good vein in my right arm. Yay for getting stabbed four times in the arm. Not. lol.

I can hardly believe that it's almost the end of March. Things have been quiet around here for the most part and I feel like the weeks are just flying by so fast. I feel like that's something that I say a lot about losing time.

The other day, I went over to Jessica and Justin's to do newborn portraits with Maddox. I loved seeing them both in awe over him and how they have transitioned into being parents. It's a beautiful glimpse into a world that I am ready to embrace with Gracie.
