Friday marks 27 weeks COMPLETE. Crazy :)
Over the last week, I've felt a few changes...this little peanut was in a good schedule for activity and we could basically predict her "busy" times and "down" times. This week, however, she must be changing things up...because the kicks and pokes are starting to feel more like rolls and her times are off! She's still bouncing around in there but not at the same times as before. I'm still sleeping really well and she doesn't wake me up at night so keep your fingers crossed that it stays that way for the long haul.
I keep trying to think about this lovely glucose test I get to take at the beginning of September. Maybe I'll pass because my body is so used to my sugar intake it won't be shocked by the lovely drink they make you chug? If the test does come back positive, at least we'll know and be able to accommodate any new dietary changes or whatever else comes with GD. I'd rather know than not know...and it's funny to me that people try to change their "ways" just to pass the test and not have to take the 3hr or have GD. Like I said, it's better for me and the baby if it is positive so we can do better in the long run. With that being said, I can't stop eating donuts, sweets, cakes, etc. Everyone just drops them off at my desk like they have ESP and the baby secretively told them to GIVE ME SUGAR. I mean, COME ON! ha.
I've had more "round ligament" pain this week...I think that's what it is at least. The doc asked if I have had any contractions yet and I told him, "No." Then asked him if I would know or not, and he smirked a little and said usually and told me what they feel like. He thought my other pains were ligament pains, too. They are just more sharp/jabby and in my lower abdomen, predominately on the left side. They usually go away quick or after I stretch a little.
My mom is coming into town this weekend and she is so darn excited to see this baby. She always gets right in my belly and asks, "How's our baby doing today?!" and I'm like, "Mom, you do know that this is MY baby, right?" Haha -- good intentions but sometimes she's a little over the top. Speaking of over the top, my co-worker's wife is also prego and he's crazy. I mean, all he does is research and he really should be working. Then he relays all this information he "learns" to me and makes me feel like a complete idiot when it comes to the baby. Apparently, they are the "all natural" kind of people...he even said that for the first 6 months anything the baby uses, eats, wears, etc. is going to be organic and I almost hung up the phone on him because he's nuts. Now, I'm not trying to offend anyone out there who is granola and likes to do things that way. Fine by me. But, I can't afford it and I like to eat cake. Speaking of cake, I ate this yesterday....#NOMNOMNOM
Gah! Nothing Bundt Cakes!!!! Now I am craving those! I hope you pass your glucose test. I was so worried about that because I did not want to fail and have to do the three hour. I was not good with fasting while pregnant.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you're 27 weeks!
