So I'm not superwoman

I really thought there was nothing to a "multiple pregnancy." I am still working full time, taking care of Gage, helping run errands, etc. I really thought I was just going to breeze through this pregnancy. But some times things creep up on you...like this silly head cold. Both Aubie and Gage had it. They were able to shake it in about 3 days. I've been fighting it for over a week and now I have a sinus infection. Not a big deal but my doctor started me on antibiotics to get it cleared up.

My weight went down and my blood pressure went up at this appointment. Not ideal for this stage of pregnancy but again, not a huge deal.

Then my nurse called this morning with my lab results. Seems I failed my gestational diabetes test and I'm anemic. So, it proves I'm not a superstar. I'm going to have minor complications just like everyone else. Shoot...guess I'll miss out on this gold star too!!!!!!

I will take a 3-hour gestational diabetes test either Friday or Tuesday, depending on my work schedule, to confirm (or hopefully rebuke) the results from yesterday's test. I won't get my "traveling papers" until I have retaken the test.

Side note...big pat on the back to Aubie for painting our nursery. It looks great and will soon be filled with sweet little baby things!! We'll update again soon.
