People keep asking if we are going to find out the gender of the baby. So I will tell you what we know. When we went to the ultrasound appointment to discover the gender of the baby my doctor looked and said, "Well, I am 55-60 percent sure you are having a girl." (Have I mentioned I feel like health care in Mississippi is lacking?) In my head I said, "Gee thanks, you are a fountain of information! Do I have to pay for this appointment?" We don't really like those odds so we are waiting until SOMEONE knows what we are having.
Recently I was told that I failed my 1 hour glucose test and had to go to the hospital for additional testing. When I compare my scores to online sources it says that I passed but when I talked to my doctor he said I failed (by a few points) two out of four tests. Perhaps I question my doctors competency or I am in denial- but I really don't think I have gestational diabetes!

hey, so i'm in the same boat as you with the gestational diabetes, they diagnosed me last week with it @ 35 weeks, kinda a pain. i have to check my levels 4 times a day and stay on low carb diet...and its super frustrating cuz everytime i test my levels they are normal...so i totally know where your coming from...fun fun stuff.
you look great and your outfit is supper cute :) I hope you don't have gestational diebetes and hopefully you will know for sure what you are having-if not it might be kinda fun to have a little suprise!
Oh the thought process sounds familiar! I totally did the same thing with my Gestational Diabetes diagnosis. It sounds like a whole lot of no fun, but I actually got so I liked the diabetic diet and it gets to be no big deal. Good luck!!
First off - I love your flip flops
Secondly - who is your Dr.? He seems like a "dir dir dir dir" in other words - an idiot (it's my little saying for idiots)
Thirdly - I failed my first test by 2 points and had to retake. I passed the second with flying colors. I don't fully think that test is competent either. Things will work out!
When I had my u/s with Kiah they couldn't tell her gender. It was frustrating... but a little fun too.
Glucose testing and blood sugar can be a tricky thing. Most people I have known who use the die end-up liking it, eventually. If nothing else... it isn't bad for you.
I think you look so cute pregnant. I hope all goes well with the glucose testing.
You do look cute pregnant! Cute little belly. I'm sorry about the diabetes stuff, that seriously stinks. I hope it all works out so it's not a huge hassle.
And seriously your Dr. is only 55-60 percent sure it's a girl? THATS CRAZY! You have a 50% chance of having a girl anyway! :) I'm going a little nuts not knowing what you are having...I can only imagine how you feel!!
