16 Weeks....and Counting

In the last couple weeks, nothing serious has happened, but I'll comment on a few things.

On Monday, I went and saw my OB. She was glad to hear that I have had no more spotting, and I still haven't gained any weight (I actually lost another lb!). We are hoping for me to get through this whole pregnancy without ANY weight gain. I am now off pelvic rest, which means working out again...oh yeah, because that's what I feel like doing after work.
She also wanted to have me take the 1 hr. Glucose Tolerance Test. Tuesday I took it, and the next day they called me back to tell me I indeed failed. Awesome. At first I was going to go ahead with the 3hr, but my Dr. thought it would be best just to send me straight to the diabetes care nurse. Even more Awesome.
I am already on a Gestational Diabetes diet that my dietitian and I thought would prevent GD, but I guess not. This means another appointment. My schedule is filling up quickly! I have my regular OB, Fetal-Maternal Medicine, dietitian, and now diabetes nurse. Wow! I'm afraid of what else could possibly go wrong, and who else I will have to see.
The part of GD that I really am not looking forward to is the testing my blood. I grew up watching my dad test his blood, and he even did it to me a few times. Not fun at all! I mean the diet isn't the best, but I think I can handle it. Even though I'm going to miss out on Easter candy :(
I'll have my first appt. next week, so I'll keep everyone updated!
Only 4 more weeks until we find out if Baby W is a boy or girl. I might have said this before, but my guy feeling is girl. I have no idea why. I am getting really excited about finding out. We have names, nursery colors picked out for both. I like everything equally, so I don't care which one we end up with. One thing we haven't been able to decide on is a crib. We don't know if we should just do a regular crib, or a convertible one. Also, if we should get one with an attached changing table. Every website I go to, I find one I like. However, it's usually one on sale. If you don't know by now, I'm a cheapskate. I refuse to drop over $200 on a piece of furniture that will last only 2 years max. When baby is out of the crib, they will go straight to a twin bed. I don't like the convertible toddler bed. Because then they have to adjust to a bigger bed a few years later. I think going straight to a twin would be best. So even if we get a convertible one, the kid wouldn't use it! It's more about price and style. I'm thinking we may wait until I'm almost ready to pop before we actually get one. We have no where to store it anyway.

Alright, any early guesses on gender?!
