Glucola Test

As Corey wrote in his post yesterday, we had another check-up with Dr. Bell. For this one, I had to drink this nasty glucola drink (tropical punch flavored!) and then get a blood draw done exactly an hour later to test for gestational diabetes. I just got the phone call from Justina the nurse with the results. She left a message saying something like "congratulations - you passed your one-hour glucola test!" I am taking that to mean I DON'T have gestational diabetes. I'm not even sure what all that entails, but luckily we don't have to worry about it.

Things are moving along nicely! Charlotte has been dancing up a storm lately, and I'm starting to look more and more like a pregnant woman instead of just a chubbo. Her nursery is starting to shape up since we loaded out a ton of miscellaneous stuff and rearranged the furniture into the positions they will occupy once all of the painting and carpet laying is done. I have been practicing gliding in the glider (sometimes holding Pacey, but he still thinks the gliding motion is a little freaky). We have also taken the dogs for a walk along with the stroller to start to alleviate Connie's strange fears of it. So far, not much progress has been made. I'm sure our neighbors think we're wacko.

Connie does alright with the stroller so long as she is on a leash, but once that leash is off, she BOLTS for the front door of the house.

You two are so organized about baby Charlotte - even to the point of 'practicing with the stroller' - hope you don't wear it out before she is even born :) I think I may lose the reputation of being the organized one in the family...yeah - time for you to carry the torch ...sounds like you are having fun getting prepared.

You wouldn't think we were so organized if you could see how terrible Charlie's room still looks! ;)

Are you going to spell 'Charlie' with an 'ie' - I guess I had pictured it as Charly?? bjs
