.number 4.

Baby is growing nicely.  I can't believe how active this little one is!  At 26 weeks I went to the hospital to have my blood drawn for the glucose test.  I ended up getting a call later that week and was told I didn't pass and was now to take the 3 hour test.  I was pretty bumbed, seeing as I've never failed the test previously.  I made my appointment and went into the hospital again.  I was to fast before the test.  The did a blood draw, then had me drink a more concentrated glucose drink (yuck) then I had to wait an hour come back for another blood draw, and then two more each hour after.  I was able to find a family waiting room in the hosptial and made myself a spot there to wait.  I brought the ipad and there was a tv in the waiting room so that helped keep me busy.  I got a call after telling me that I did pass this time so I was grateful.  At my appointment my doctor said that women who fail the first test, but pass the second have a greater risk of having a large baby!  Not something I wanted to hear.  I was hoping this baby would be smaller than Brynn was.  I don't really want another 8 and 1/2 pound baby!
