I’ll make this part brief.
-I failed the 1 hour glucose test I had last Saturday but only by a little bit. I got 9 something and I guess if you are over 10 you definitely have gestational diabetes. They asked me to do the 2 hour test
-I did the 2 hour test on Thursday morning. Who knows when I’ll get the results or what they’ll do with them seeing as it will be Christmas week. Dr Shuen still thinks the baby is fine…just big.
-I had an appt with Dr Shuen yesterday. I am 35 weeks today but my belly is measuring 39 weeks. The baby is still breech. He doesn’t think it will turn and the plan for now is to section me at 37.5 weeks (first week of January). We will discuss dates next Saturday at my now weekly ob appt.
-I have another ultrasound with the perinatologist tomorrow afternoon at the hospital to check the baby.
So that’s the news on Baby C. I must admit I went into freak out mode when he said I’d be sectioned at 37.5 weeks. It seems so close and with Christmas and New Years between now and then I know it’s going to fly by. John has the week between Christmas and New Years off so we have plenty of time to just relax and get ready. The funniest part of the whole thing is that Bonnie is the one who schedules the sections so she will get to pick Baby C’s birthday!
I have had a few “that sucks that you have to have a c section” comments but really I don’t care. Dr Shuen knows best as far as I am concerned…and after the girls there really and truly is nothing left to be bothered being vain about my belly 
I know recovery is going to be harder but it’s a fair trade off for the logistics of me going into labour with a hospital that depending on traffic/weather might be 1.5 hours away.
The girls are doing well. My mom broke down and asked me to take some pictures so I put some up on Flickr. It was really warm here today and they got to play outside. I really miss being able to be outside without worrying they’re going to freeze their fingers off.
Our weekend flew by as usual. Yesterday I had the ob appt in the morning and then we did some shopping when I got home. Last night Drew and Jen came to watch the girls while we went into Toronto to celebrate Jeff’s 30th Birthday. Like true party animals we were home by 10:30pm but we had fun watching everyone else get drunk!
Yesterday the girls friend Grace had a baby brother Patrick. Patrick was supposed to come the same week Baby C is scheduled to arrive but I guess he didn’t want to share his birthday!
