Alot to be Thankful for!!

So i definately have alot to be thankful for these days! I recently had to take my gestational diabetes test being that i am now 29 weeks pregnant and we had a little bit of a scare....i didn't pass my first test! So thankfully i have a loving mother and brother who were willing to come down and be my moral support so my husband could work. I had to take another test this last monday which included fasting for 8 HRS and then i had to drink that horribly awful drink which i will have you know on your second round of testing is much much stronger and nastier (sp?) and i swear i was gonna throw it up, my stomach was so upset from not eating for so long i was really struggling but i made it through. They start by taking your blood before you drink the drink and then followed by 3 more blood draws an hr apart each so all in all my big ol pregnant self fasted for 14 HRS and i was so hard BUT my test results came back and.....WE PASSED!! I have been telling my mom how excited i am to meet little Bria but at the same time am so worried and anxious what if i'm not a good mom (hopefully i'm not the only one that has felt like that) but when they told me that i might have this and i know lots of women get it and its supposedly no big deal but if i had it it was a big deal to me there are so many things that can go wrong with the baby if you aren't perfect about taking care of it i was just so nervous for my little girl! But thankfully no worries we are both HEALTHY girls!!
Also my mom has been continuously spoiling me, adam and the baby! she bought us these FABULOUS reclinerS yes 2 of them so i could relax with my feet up and hopefully get some freaking sleep! (this picture is the one in my room) I highly recommend them to all my pregnant friends it is wonderful to lay on your back (i really miss sleeping on my back!!) with your feet up!
And my sweet sweet husband who really makes me feel like the luckiest girl ever! He tells me almost everyday how happy he is to be married to me and he actually says THANK YOU FOR BEING PREGNANT! Now if that isn't sweet to hear out of a mans mouth i don't know what is! Alot of men typically whine about how they "have" to take care of their sick pregnant wife....well ladies i definately lucked out, he never says things like that, he always kisses my belly, rubs my back, always helps with the cleaning and cooking and says THANK YOU FOR BEING PREGNANT! He really is my best friend and such a great husband!! Bria and i are so lucky to have him! We love you Daddy :)

Stacey, I'm happy to hear you passed your test! You are going to be a great mom. Everyone who knows you knows that.

Love your comfy new chair. Take care!
Love, ME

I am glad that you have all the help. It is so nice to know that you aren't alone. I need to get a chair like that. I just have a glider, which is great, but I could sleep in that chair a lot easier. :) Glad all is well with your test. I think everybody worries about that kind of stuff. I know I did. Can not wait til she is here.
