i passed!

Yesterday I had my 26 week appointment and that includes the glucose test. All of you recent moms know what this is. Basically your blood sugar has to be under 140...if you're over you have to take the 3-hour version. I was 135! Whoo hoo! All my other stats are normal too, so that was good...just plugging along! Also, I only gained 2lbs since my last visit (which is GOOD b/c the time before that I had gained 14! I got a bit excited about the opportunity to gain weight!!). So I am up 19 at this point...with 14 weeks to go and averaging a pound a week, that puts me in the "normal" range, but there's still lots of time to mess that up!

Funny story: On Monday night I came home from working at Macy's. Joey was already asleep, but it was still pretty early so he woke up when I came in the bedroom. I was talking to him a bit and getting my pj's on...he looked at me and said, "are you gaining weight?" I looked at him with a "no shit" look and asked why he asked that. He said, "I know you are in your belly because you show me that, but are you gaining it anywhere else because it doesn't look like it." Ahhh... such a weird way to say something nice, but I'll take it!
