I just had an appointment a couple of days ago. I'm still on every 4 week appointments. My next appointment will be at 27 weeks and  I will do the one hour glucose testing at that time. I'm nervous about it because I feel more yucky this pregnancy (like fat) and I failed the 1 hour test last time and had to take the 3 hour test TWICE!

 I've been dealing with a lot more stress from non-pregnancy factors this time around. My job situation is extremely precarious. I just interviewed at a large company yesterday. I was super nervous because I look pretty pregnant now. I think it went well but who knows.

Also, Cameron's uncle who was battling Multiple Myloma cancer for the past two years passed away early morning yesterday. He was such a great guy and I feel bad for Cameron and everyone on that side of the family.
