update...

I am almost at 28 weeks of my pregnancy, and time is most certainly flying by! only 12 weeks (maybe even 10!!) from holding my baby girl!


I failed my 3 hour glucose tolerance test and was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes.. it's not a walk in the park but i am managing! I take my blood sugar daily and try to stick to healthy meals and fruits.. (i have a cheat day once in a while where i'll have some fries! and its amazing!) but other than that i am being pretty diligent about it...

We had our 3D/4D ultrasound at 25 weeks. Baby girl is looking beautiful... she is smiling and sleeping and poking and prodding and I am so completely in love with her! I hope these next few months fly by so i can hold her and kiss those chubby cheeks!!!

My baby shower is 2 weeks away, on September 11th, to be exact and i am getting anxious! Still lots to do.. Need to by center pieces and some more decorations as well as party favors for my guests... Arthur and I will get balloons day of and just bring them to the venue.. I AM SO EXCITED.... so many people have already bought us presents for Olivia, its amazing.. our storage space is diminishing but that is ay ok with me! I even made friends with my UPS delivery guy because he seems to have a delivery for me almost every day! LOVE IT!

There are still several necessities that we need to get like the crib, changing table, mattress and glider but i am keeping my fingers crossed that someone will purchase those for us! It's ok if they don't i just need to get a move on things... I need everything set up by middle/end of october so i can enjoy my last weeks of pregnancy...

Speaking of pregnancy... life's getting a little more difficult.. i could barely bend down, let alone see over my toes.. hehe.. my belly gets in the way of things and i even do not cook as often as i should since belly is in the way. Its difficult to sleep as well.. When i need to change positions and sides, i have to wake up and do so because the round ligament pain plus the weight of the belly makes it painful and difficult to maneuver... I feel like im 80 with all the kinks and pains and aches... but its just the awesomeness of pregnancy!  (is it still weird that i think its surreal that i am PREGNANT!!?!?!?!??!!!!)

Come on NOVEMBER!! GET HERE ALREADY!!!

26 weeks 4 days preggo!

Glucose Tolerence Test... = FML!

Last week i had to take the one hour glucose tolerence test. The drink was fairly tolerable.. It was 50 grams of pure sugar and tasted like very sweet flat orange soda. I think the fact that it was cold made it a little better. Well anyway, i was able to keep that down and had my blood draw and hour later. Results came back monday and my sugar levels were high! norm was 140 i was at 197... eek!

that being said, i had to subject myself to a little more torture that is known as the 3 hour glucose tolerance test. I went in today and had to drink a very warm, lemon lime flavored 100 gram bottle of this crap! i kept it down for an hour and threw the rest up! that was by far the worst, most grossest thing i've ever experienced.

I am ofcourse nervous to hear the results as i really do not wish to have Gestational Diabetes and keep a strict diet but i know i'll have to for the health of my baby girl!  i really hope i never have to do this crappy test again today marked the single worst day of my pregnancy!

on a happier note, i did manage to get a sympathy ultrasound out of them just so i can see my baby girl for putting up with the hell for 4 hours! well she looks absolutely perfect... Measuring right on schedule at 24 weeks.. weighing 1 lb 5oz.. hehe... she is head down and we figured out that all those kicks and flicks ive been feeling have been her legs and feet jabbing me! i am so in love with her already!

I have a 3D/4D ultrasound booked for this weekend as a birthday present from my dear husband so hopefully we get to see some awesome pictures of my baby! cheeks and all!! i am so excited!!!
