Today I also went back for the 3 hour glucose test. They drew my blood four times during those three hours. OUCH! I should get the results back tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed that I do not have gestational diabetes.

1st Day of the 3rd Trimester - Week 28
Today I also went back for the 3 hour glucose test. They drew my blood four times during those three hours. OUCH! I should get the results back tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed that I do not have gestational diabetes.

Week 27 Dr. Appt
Today I got a phone call from the nurse telling me that I had not passed the screening, which means I have to go back to the office on Monday for a 3 hour glucose screening. At which time I get to drink more of the glucose "cocktail". They will take my blood every hour and when the results of this test come back I will know if I have gestational diabetes or not.
I am really praying that I don't... with the holidays coming up it will be hard to stay away from the sweets!

It's not a hernia...
Also at today's appointment I heard the heartbeat again, which was very loud and very strong. She measured my belly to confirm that Sayer is still growing - and he is!
I have gained 4 pounds since my last appointment, so I am at a 23 pound weight gain to date. 23 pounds in 25 weeks. Not too shabby!
Painting the Nursery
The boys watching football... not painting the nursery!

This past weekend Mike and I, along with Mom and Dad and our friends Jeff and Michelle traveled to St. Louis to watch MU versus U of I kick-off the collegiate football season.
We rolled into St. Louis early Friday evening with our car flags flying high! Our hotel was located on Washington St. just a couple of blocks from the stadium and right in the middle of the action. The atmosphere for the entire weekend was amazing! There was such a buzz in the air and you could see and feel the team spirit everywhere.
Saturday was game day and we geared up for the evening at the Landing in St. Louis. There were street vendors, live music and tailgates everywhere. When we got to the stadium we were happy to find that we had seats on the lower level in the end zone. Although, Mike was not thrilled about the placement since he was right in the middle of Tiger Country! He was lucky enough to have three Illini fans sitting in the row directly behind us.
After an exciting game... and lots of scoring, I am happy to report that my Tigers beat the Illini! We are definitely going to try to make this a yearly event... although next year Sayer will probably stay at home with Mimi!
