28 weeks
28 weeks pregnant June 4th, written June 24th. Almost caught up!
Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along: 28 Weeks
Weight Gain: +18 lbs
Size of baby: According to Glow, baby is a little over 2 lbs and the size of an eggplant
Maternity Clothes: Dresses day and night. I love summer !
Gender: Ribbons and Pearls
Movement: SO MUCH MOVING
What I miss: Sleep, when can I sleep again!!!!
Sleep: Nicholas is actually turning a corner in this area. Now if I could only get Brandon to stop snoring......I can fall asleep great but if I wake up for any reason and hear his snoring I am up. The other day I was up at 4:45 am and couldn't get back to sleep.
Symptoms: Still feeling fabulous, no heartburn or intense back pain like usual. Must be our new healthy diet( more on that in a later post)
Cravings: Apple, I am loving apples
Best Moment this week: Failing the gestational diabetes test and becoming so ill from it I refused the second test. Just kidding that was the worst moment:)
What I am looking forward to: My next couple Dr. appointments so I can be retested and told I don't have gestation diabetes. Not that I think its impossible it is just that we are eating the absolute best we ever have, I feel great and I would just find it impossible to believe I am having blood sugar issues given I have had them in the past and know how they make me feel and I don't feel like that. As Tony the Tiger says, I feel GrrreeaaaaT!
UPDATE: The good thing about blogging late is there is time for updates:) Backstory: I went in for my glucose test a few weeks ago. I drank the medical crush as it is now called, had my blood drawn and spent the entire day so so sick! Huge headache, throwing up, the whole 9 yards. We recently switched to a plant base diet and that virtually eliminates sugar so I think my body was in shock. I get a call the next day that says my cbc blood work was read-able but there was a lab error and I needed to redo the glucose test. The next day Brandon let me sleep in, a rare treat, I didn't eat or drink anything the day before because I was sick and was super dehydrated heading into my 2nd test. I drank my drink and you guessed it spent the whole day being sick again!!!! Thankfully they were able to read my test but I failed by a few points. They scheduled me for the longer test and I said nope no way. My Dr. decided to have me meet with a diabetes educator, test my blood sugars and go back in to follow up to see what was going on since I refused to do another sugar test. After some serious debacles with getting the right supplies, I tested my sugars 4 times a day for a week and SHOCKINGLY(or not)...... they were all normal. We had recently switched to a much healthier diet and so I didn't even have to worry about counting carbs or snacks or what I was eating which was really nice. I just ate...lots:) I still have to test my blood sugars 6-8 time a week instead of 4 times a day but I am not annoyed because it is better safe then sorry but even at almost 32 weeks all numbers are still normal. So here is to hoping the rest of my pregnancy is not as eventful as this last month was!
