I wasn't able to really give an update about the 20th and 21st week. I basically had to take 2 glucose tests. The first was the 1hr glucose test and then a 3hr test the following week. Even though I passed the first one, the doctor thought it would be best for me to take the 2nd one since both my parents have diabetes. So far, so good! I'm in the clear! And I'm starting to get used to having viles of blood drawn from my arms. I did go home with 2 matching quarter-size bruises on my left and right arms.
I had such a busy end of August through early September. I was setting up my 5th grade classroom. Dayne was able to help me do a lot of the heavy lifting of books, removing them from the top of my classroom cabinets. She was a life saver! Then Erwil also came in to help me finish off my classroom.
It's been so hard to find time to blog since the new school year began. My new class of students are really nice. I have 15 girls and only 8 boys this year. The kids are aware that I'm pregnant and I let their parents know that I'll take maternity leave once Christmas break begins. My co-workers always ask me how I've been feeling--energetic, happy, and hopeful. I'll feel fine as long as I'm in an air-conditioned room or car.
