I feel a bit narcissistic posting all these pictures of me, but I justify it by telling myself you are really looking at my belly (right?!). Keith and I got some difficult news this week - I didn't pass the one hour glucose blood screening. Many pregnant women fail the first test and pass the three hour screening (which I am taking on Tuesday). But I am still worried. Diabetes is prevalent on the Morey side of the family (at least 3 cousins and Grandpa). If I fail the three hour glucose test I will be diagnosed with gestational diabetes. What that means is a strict diet and exercise (which I am already doing). 3%-7% of pregnant women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes - but I still feel shocked - I eat well, I exercise, I am right on target for weight gain...

The good news is our baby girl will be fine. If I am diagnosed with gestational diabetes I will just need to stick to the strict diet and there will be extra monitoring to make sure she doesn't get too big. It has been a tough week processing, researching and accepting this. I'll keep you posted.
