maternity pics set #1

Brad took my first official set of maternity pictures a few weeks ago in downtown Amarillo. I was 25 1/2 weeks when he took these. I really like them. He is so talented! Here is the link and a preview! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2925529&id=8328012

Glucose Test

Tuesday I had another one of those moments that every pregnant woman goes through... but this one isn't one they necessarily look forward to like other mommy to be milestones. I went for my glucose tolerance test to screen for Gestational Diabetes. First of all this was the second time I had gone to try to do it, the first time I went to a lab that had been closed the week before and no one bothered to warn me when I called in for details. That was frustrating, a hungry, thirsty pregnant girl who finds out she just drove 45 minutes for NOTHING! Anyways, Tuesday I drove to Amarillo. I had no food or water all morning, I arrived at the lab at 9:00 am. They gave me that wonderful orange drink that tasted just like an orange fanta with a few packets of sweet & low mixed in... and told me to wait one hour. They took my blood and sent me on my way. Two days later I heard from my wonderful OB, Dr. Judy. She informed me that I am gestational diabetes free! My sugars were at 123, and the ideal is to be under 140! I am so happy that I don't have to cut out carbs and sweets! I would have a hard time not eating fruit! So, the yucky test did not end up so bad after all!

What's in a name?

Alright, so I'm sure many of you probably know this, but Brad and I have officially decided on a name for our baby boy!

LANDRY JOHN MABRY

I can't wait to meet him!! I love him already!

Exhaustion

Everyone always says that in the second trimester, you will have a lot of energy and feel better than you have in your life. I must disagree with the first part of that statement. I feel fantastic and the world is a pretty wonderful place now that my baby is about to be in it... but the energy part, not so much. I am so tired, all the time. Even when I am having a great day and the weather is beautiful, I still just need a nap! The sad thing is I KNOW it will get worse from here. I am 26 weeks and 1 day today, almost to the third trimester!
