26 weeks and diabetic?

i really cannot believe i am 26 weeks along! this pregnancy has gone by so fast, and im sure these last 3 months are going to go even faster! i went in this morning for my glucose test (to test for gestational diabetes). well my results came back and i held my tears back as the nurse told me i had failed it and how i would now have to go in later this week for a 3 hour test to see if it was just a fluke, or if i really have developed gestational diabetes. so im a little bit stressed, a lot worried, and completely bummed. i almost feel like i have already failed at this "mothering" thing... all i have to do is stay healthy to let this baby grow and develop the way it should, and i cant even do that. but im trying to stay positive, and hoping i hear good news later this week!26 weeks!

i had a baby shower with my family a few weekends ago and got so many cute things for my little guy! jared and i were talking to the other night about how some days we think, "at the end of this semester we are going to have a baby!" then other days we think, "at the end of this semester we are going to have a BABY?????" its still very surreal for both of us.

other than baby news.... student teaching is still going. im almost half way done and couldnt be happier to finish. jared only goes to school tuesdays and thursdays. i think he is enjoying class, and not so much the homework. but who can blame him?
