First off, a few weeks back I mentioned (I think) my 1 hour Glucose test...well those results came back and I did not pass. Cut off is 135 and I got a 150. Bummer. So I had to sign up for the 3 hour Glucose test. UGH! This required fasting for 12 hours, drinking the gross drink again, and getting blood drawn every hour for 3 hours. I took that test on Friday and got a call on Monday with the results...I PASSED!!! Woot! I have always been a person who loves sweets and carbs...so I was fairly confident my body could handle the break down of the sugar...but with pregnancy they say your hormones are all over the place and while you might normally handle something well, with a baby inside of you, all bets are off. Thank goodness I passed! I went home and enjoyed a Cadbury Cream Egg...my absolute FAV chocolate during Easter!
Over the last week, I have also woken up suddenly in the middle of the night because of a lot of activity coming from my midsection! The baby boy has been kicking like CRAZY in the middle of the night! Clearly, he is in the mood to play while mama is trying to sleep. Haha. Usually, I would be upset with the interruption of sleep but I was so excited about it that I just laid there with my hand on my belly and felt the kicks. Talk about feeling like an alien is inside of you! What a strange but amazing feeling! Such a blessing.
Today is a spirit day at school! My maternity jeans are pretty comfortable so I look forward to days where I can wear them. Below is my 29 week picture. Am I getting bigger? The scale sure says I am...but I dont feel like I LOOK bigger...I'll let you be the judge.
Yea...definitely getting bigger. :)
Our IT guy here at school is taking his wife to the hospital tonight to prepare for induction tomorrow!!! I have been so excited for them because I know I am the next one in the building to intro a little person to the world!!
Tonight, Bruce and I are headed to the first home Sporting KC game! While the off season was only 3 months...it has been a loooooong 3 months without soccer. We are very excited for the season to start again.
I stole this next part from a friend who is currently 37 weeks preggo.
How far along? 29 weeks. Baby is the size of a butternut squash...why do they compare the size of baby to some food I have hardly heard of?! I certainly wouldnt know how to COOK with a butternut squash! Haha.
Total weight gain: *Lucky* for me I lost some weight at the beginning of the pregnancy so my weight gain isnt too out of control....yet. I am currently up 7 pounds pre-pregnancy.
Maternity clothes? Been wearing them since about week 22. I wore some skirts to school this week since it has been so nice! With the stretchy elastic, I hope to wear my "normal" skirts for as long as possible. Ive got one maternity skirt if things get too tight...
Sleep: Sleep as been ok. I have always been a light sleeper, but recently, I have needed complete silence to fall and STAY asleep. I occasionally move to the other bedroom in the middle of the night because of "the dogs" :)
Best moment this week: Waking up to crazy kicking!
Miss Anything? Wine...FOR SURE!
Movement: I feel movement periodically throughout the day...but definitely more in the evenings and most definitely right before bed.
Food cravings: None really...I was wondering if I would get one of those crazy cravings...but I still eat most of the normal stuff I have always eaten!
Symptoms: Not too many. I notice that towards the end of a school day my stomach starts to feel tight if I have been standing most of the day...so I try to sit while teaching as much as possible, because the tight feeling is fairly uncomfortable.
Belly Button in or out? Still in. I dont think I will have a button that pops.
Wedding rings on or off? Still on and LOOSE!
Happy or Moody most of the time: Moody like crazy...but how is that different than non-pregnant MB?! Haha.
Looking forward to: Baby K making his debut of course...but also the Sporting KC game tonight!!!
