Doctor's Appointment: 26 Weeks (6 1/2 Months)


I haven't posted anything in awhile, and I apologize. I will have some nursery pictures up soon. My June doctor's appointment is tomorrow. They are testing for gestational diabetes. I have to drink this glucose drink (like a flat orange soda) and then get some blood taken. It shouldn't be too bad, but since I had an episode with my blood surgar a couple of weeks ago, I am a little nervous. The reassuring thing is that my blood surgar went low all of the sudden, rather than high. I think diabetes is high blood sugar. What I have is hypoglycemia (pregnancy-induced). I just have to eat every few hours and it seems to do the trick (for my blood surgar and the scale!)

Here's a cute picture I took of Jax and Jada on Memorial Day. More coming soon...

I love Jax's new summer coat - so soft and stylish!

As for the glucose test: everyone gripes about the drink but I didn't find it to be that bad at all. The nurse offered me a choice of about 5 different flavors so I chose the fruit punch. It tasted just like Jungle Juice - YUM!
I'm sure you'll be fine with your test but we'll keep you in our thoughts just in case.
Love & hugs from the Bradshaws!!!
