Personality Predictions

25 weeks

So clearly I am awful at documenting anything to do with my pregnancy.  I try to at least take a picture every week, but God knows I can never seem to post about it!  It just goes with my utter and complete baby brain I have lately.  I cannot remember ANYTHING, and this is not good for a 6th grade teacher trying to prepare her students for junior high! 

I took my glucose test on Friday and was told I would get the results today.  I had to do the test early since I had gestational diabetes with Lainey.  They told me that if they didn't call the results were normal, but they would call Monday if I had it.  Well at 4:15 today I still had not received a call, so being the paranoid person I am, I called them!  I don't have GD this time!!!!  To say I was excited would be an understatement!  I'll be the first one to say it's really not that bad, but it's definitely annoying so I was glad to know I wouldn't have to go through that whole mess again.  Now if I can just find some motivation to not continue gaining a ton of weight for the next 14 weeks...

Ok so now for the whole reason for my post title--after talking to my doctor's office, I promptly ran down to my friends' room to share the good news!  We all had a little celebration, and then my friend said that this baby is going to be so laid back, which got me thinking.  Lainey's pregnancy was SO indicative of her personality and who she is.  We are so blessed to have her, and we really thought we had lost her early on.  She was such a fighter in her early weeks of being in my belly, and she is and has been so strong-willed her entire life!  She gave me lots of trouble during my pregnancy, and she still gives us lots of trouble now, but she is the sweetest and funniest child I know! 

Because I had a complicated first pregnancy, I was terrified of being pregnant again.  I did not have the "Oh, being pregnant is AMAZING" experience that I have heard others talk so lovingly about.  I didn't know what to expect this time, and I can say it has been completely different with Lilly!  I have not had any major complications so far, and I really have been feeing good.  If this pregancy is any indicator of personality as Lainey's was, I think we are in for a pretty laid back baby girl!  This could all be completely wrong, and I could end up with two extrememly strong-willed children, but I guess only time will tell!  As for now, I'll just sit back and try to enjoy the next 14 weeks, and put a rush on my crazy long to do list of things needed before her arrival!
