    I ate lots of sweets running up to the day of the test and then avoided them that morning. Then again, I want a lot of sweets anyway, so the only real prep was avoiding them the day of. I didn't have any nausea and baby barely registered the sugar.

    @MommyP710‌ I also had the GD test Friday and haven't heard anything... But my OB left the practice two weeks ago and I don't see the new OB until the 17th so I have no idea if anyone at the office has even looked at my results. Guess I gotta make a phone call. Hope you get yours soon!

    Just drank my orange drink. It tastes exactly like that orange drink we had at track events. Seriously, it wasn't bad at all. Now we play the waiting game.

    I took a little break from The Bump. I'm trying I keep the house cleaner and pay more attention to DS, he's not going to be an only child for much longer and I want to give him as much attention as possible these last few months. I have missed you ladies. It was so different not seeing cat gifs everyday!
    My grandma was moved into a nursing home a couple weeks ago. I haven't seen her a lot this last year because she's lived with my mom and my mom and have been fighting/not talking. While I knew she probably wasn't thrilled to be in a nursing home, I was happy to know that I could see her more easily now. I went to visit her this past week and she seemed so sad. Does anyone have any experience with this? Will it get better once she gets used to being there? I plan on visiting her every week.

    we put the baby's dresser together today & phew.. that was hard work. took 3 hours.

    ok.. mostly husband did it but i was in there the whole time & helped.

    can't imagine the crib.. eek.
    The crib went much faster than the dresser for us! The dresser has all those drawers that took forever.

    @kaceymarie‌ our crib was pretty easy. I did 90% of it myself and had to figure out where I used the wrong bolts and it only took about 1 1/2 hours.

    Question: do you still lie on your back some?

    I don't for sleep, but for lounging around and reading or something, I will. It's fine, right?

    @joules235‌ thank you!! She use to play cards. I'm hoping that she'll get adjusted to living there and make some friends. I just feel bad for her.

    Yeah. There's a point where I start getting uncomfortable (and usually get short of breath) and that's the point where I move :)

    My AW - I just hit the 100 days left mark :) Getting so excited to meet this LO. I did my first load of baby clothes the other day and sitting on the bed folding them and smelling them just made me all teary eyed and emotional. 

    Also - Saturday is my massage and I'm SO looking forward to relaxing a little bit!

    If you failed the 1 hour and passed the 3 hour, what was your 1 hour score?

    Disclaimer: I know I should just wait for the 3 hour, not worry, GD isn't the end of the world, etc. On a logical level, I get all of that. But on an anxious level, it just doesn't impact anything.

    I took the 1 hour yesterday. They said they want to see < 135. I got 144. I'm doing the 3 hour on Monday. I'm hoping that 9 points high isn't a lot? I wasn't fasting, buy I also wasn't eating carbs.

    Any other remember their numbers from the first "failed" test?

    I know it could be longer or shorter, but It's exciting to see the "99 days left" when I login. 
    Something about being under 100 days is exciting, we're getting close!

    @yellowbird219‌ I think it is highly unlikely that you're having twins. It sounds like your doc is monitoring your growth which is great. If you end up with GD, they'll help you thru that, too. At your next appt, I would ask the doc what would happen if you are measuring ahead. Would they change your date? Would they try to induce earlier? They'll have the best info for you! Good luck!

    @yellowbird219‌, well, my uterus always measures a week or two ahead. It has since they began measuring. No one seems to care.

    @yellowbird219 - I am also measuring ahead. 

    At my 12 week ultrasound I was about 3 days behind (no big deal, I knew when I ovulated versus LMP).

    Then at my 20 week A/S, I was a week ahead, so sometime in that 8 weeks span, the little guy grew 13 days ahead of everyone else.

    No one mentioned GD to me once when considering baby's growth.  I took the test last week.  Negative.

    I think you can be measuring a week ahead (or maybe even a little behind?) and it's just what the parameters of normal are... it doesn't mean something is wrong.

    Also, FWIW, at my 24 week appointment, the Dr. measured my uterus and said the baby was growing "great", lol.  I'm not sure exactly what that means, I didn't ask if my uterus was ahead of schedule or anything.

    Try not to worry.  Or, if you are like me,  try not to worry about anything other than how to deliver a 12 pound baby.  That is my fear and MIL didn't help by telling me that DH was a 10lb+ baby.

    Who is doing maternity pictures?  When do you do them?

    We aren't going to do anything fancy, just have DH take a few shots while we're at an exhibit I already want to go see (it runs till mid-May), so I just need to pick a weekend to go.

    We just booked our photographer! She said 32-38 weeks is best. I am doing 32, because I don't want to be HUGE and swollen, or heaven forbid baby wants to get here really early.

    I found out today I failed my 1 hr test. My OB office said they like it around 130 and I was 138. I go next Thurs for my 3 hr.

    I was super anxious all day about it too until DH talked it over with me and said it doesn't seem like it's that much higher then what they like it to be and he said they'd probably have me taking something if it was super high.

    FX for those taking the 3 hr test!!!!

    We're doing maternity pics probably the 23rd or 30th. I'm using my cousin who is a great amateur photog. I'll only be around 27 weeks but I'm already big and getting uncomfortable and there's definitely a noticeable bump lol. If she does a great job and if I feel good later on in the pregnancy, I may also do some later.
