26 weeks pregnant - goodbye second trimester

So this is me bowing my head in shame. I haven't updated this in entirely too long. It's really not for lack of desire - it's more so lack of energy. I hate to say it but I feel like such an old woman. I simply don't have the energy ( both physical and mental ) for most things. I was far more productive on bedrest than I've been now. Oh I didn't mention - I'm not on bedrest! I'm so excited ! I'm 26 weeks and still walking around with a 4 cm cervix! What are the odds! OK - let me focus :

Anatomy Scan 
My anatomy scan went great. He's measuring right on target. We were able to see his fingers, legs, face and all. Everything was exactly where it was supposed to be.


My Strange Cervix (No Complaints ) 
I call it strange because it's 4 cm. It never even hit 4 cm in my last pregnancy. It's so crazy. However it seems my cerclage is doing what it is supposed to and my cervix is great. There's been no signs of funneling or anything.

SPD
Ugh - I didn't realize SPD could be so debilitating. I mean I can walk but it does hurt to move my legs. I try not to complain about it because who wants a whining woman in your home! Either way - it has be walking like I'm 9 months pregnant - ugh.

Gestational Diabetes
So I passed my 1 hour test. I'll be doing the 3 hour when I hit 28 weeks. I should add - I barely passed the 1 hour - hehhee. I feel really guilty because I've struggled to maintain a GD friendly diet. I don't know what's wrong with me this time. I'm also heavier than I was last time. Sigh.... otherwise I'm doing alright I guess.

Lots to post but tiny update today

Lets see how I can sum this up 

1 - this baby is kicking up a storm !
2 - I barely passed my 1 hour glucose test - but I expected that- it was the same as last time
3 - my cervix was great at my last appt. My peri said I could go 3 weeks before next appt
4 - my OB advised I don't have more kids after this if I don't have to - I've been running hard with these fertility missions these past 6 years

More to come but all is well.
