28 weeks - Glucose Test

We are back from Puerto Rico! We had such a great time. I can't believe we actually debated a babymoon. I recommend it to anyone. It was so nice to get away and have time to ourselves for a few days.

We had our OB appointment today. We are at 2 weeks OB appointments, now which means the end is VERY near! We got to hear the heartbeat. That sounds just NEVER gets old. I asked the OB about why I still felt kicks really low. I had a feeling she hadn't turned yet. The OB felt around and said she is pretty sure she laying across my belly! This could be because 1. She is just REALLY comfortable right now or 2. She is maneuvering herself around a fibroid I have on my right side., which may be getting bigger. The OB says it's not a problem now, but we will probably do an ultrasound to take a look and see what is going on. I am super excited that we may get to have a peek at her again at our next appointment. Crossing my fingers!!!

I had my 1 hour glucose test and passed! My number was 123. She said the cutoff is 135 so she said my number was really good. Whew! I must admit I was really worried. I have gained 35 lbs in 28 weeks! I knew a high weight gain with pregnancy puts you at a greater risk for Gestational Diabetes. But, there is no worrying about that! Thank goodness!

We will be starting work on the nursery and painting soon. I will post pictures soon!

25 weeks and Leaving to Puerto Rico!

Well I am 25 weeks...26 weeks on Thursday! I can't believe how fast time is flying by! So far so good. No real complaints. This pregnancy has been pretty easy so far. Only things I can "complain" about are 24/7 heartburn and carpal tunnel. It has gotten so bad at night that I am wear wrist splints on my hands. Michael thinks I look like a bowler! But, They are totally helping. I was suffering through pain in the middle of the night. I would wake up with my hands asleep. I felt like I could cut them off and I wouldn't feel a thing! Other than that, smooth sailing. No issues. Um except the weight gain. OB says its still fine and she isn't worried. Almost 26 weeks and I have gained 30 lbs! We have some major walking to do this summer. I must go back to WW when she is born. I don't care about the weight gain....it just MUST come off after she is born. No excuses!

We are leaving for our Babymoon on Wednesday morning. We are going to Puerto Rico for 5 nights. Our last vacation alone. Funny, we always talk about how much we can't wait until she's here. We can't wait for family vacations, Disney, sand castles etc. Next summer should be interesting. We plan on taking her to Portugal to visit family!

So off in a couple of days. I will be sure to post pictures when we come back.

Here is my lovely 25 week belly picture. Don't I look further along? And you see those lovely stretch marks? Yeah BS cocoa butter doesn't help. I put it on religiously, and NADA! Still got them!
