Wooo! I passed the more in-depth 3 hour gestational diabetes test!!  What a huge relief!! I celebrated with 1.5 lemon bars for dessert at lunch today 😉 The test tastes like a suuuuuper sweet orange crush, so the actual drinking of it wasn’t too bad.  What sucked was that I couldn’t have […]

Hi Baby Boy! Today you are 20 weeks, half way there!!  It’s weird because the first half of this pregnancy went SO SLOW when I was sick, I couldn’t imagine making it through another week.  Now that I feel better time is passing faster, before we know it you will be […]
