The Name Search

Still haven’t chosen a name.

3-Hr GTT

So I’ve set up my 3-hour glucose test for Tuesday, June 1 at 7:30 a.m. Can I just tell you how much I’m dreading that stupid drink?
In other news, for the past few days I’ve had some Braxton Hicks contractions while sitting at my desk. Only a couple at a time, but still [...]
