In reality, it wasn't that dreadful at all. I had fair warning on the nasty glucose drink. Thanks to my friend Sarah, I brought a straw and was able to get it down easily. I just had to keep reminding myself that it was a melted orange otter pop and not a glucose drink. Hopefully everything went great, I get my lab results back on Monday.Here's the survey!
How far along are you? 27 Weeks along- just shy of going into my 3rd TRIMESTER!!!
Weight gain: +6 lbs... but the baby weighs around 2 so can I just say +4 lbs!?! I'm being such a vain, naive, pregnant women and I'm having a hard time with this weight gain. Any suggestions? I'm still dancing and I go on walks every day with Mr. Lenikins but I still feel so out of control when it comes to packing on the pounds for this pregnancy.
Symptoms: Anxiety, lower back pain, and cramps. Overall though I've still been feeling really good. I feel like I've finally been able to enjoy the pregnancy the past 5 or 6 weeks :)
Is your baby moving around yet? Oh yeah! He absolutely loves to sleep while I'm at dance practice but as soon as I'm in the car driving home he starts his own little workout. He loves to move around in there. He also loves it when Neal talks to him at night. It's been so amazing to see him react to Neal's voice. Neal will start talking to him and he'll automatically stop moving but as soon as Neal stops he starts kicking again as if he wants to hear more. I love it! It is adorable to see them already interacting with each other. I CAN NOT wait until I get to see Liam in Neal's arms. Okay- I have to wait but its a moment that I'm really looking forward to :)
Will you cloth diaper? No... I wish I was more diligent enough to do it though because I can see the benefits. I just don't see me taking the time to stay on top of the cleaning and upkeep of using cloth diapers. I've talked to a lot of women who use them and love them. I can understand why I SHOULD use them but I'm entirely too lazy. That's really what it comes down to. Neal and I are starting to stock up on wipes for now. We'll see about diapers when we get closer to his due date. I don't want to buy too many NB/0's if he's just going to grow out of that size really fast. We're thinking about just putting away some money each week and then using that cash for our diaper runs once he gets here.
Last time you cried over something ridiculous- I wouldn't say it was ridiculous but I was holding back tears after my blood tests today. The sweet nurse was so excited that I had 2 really great veins to choose from on my right arm. In fact, she said she had a hard time deciding between which one! Well- she picked the wrong one.... fished around for a while... and barely got anything from it. So onto the next arm! Luckily my left produced enough to use in my lab tests for the glucose exam but I was not a happy camper for having to get poked twice. Blood and needles are not my best friend. I usually pass out if I see either. Neal walked with me back to our room at the Dr's office. I sat down in the chair and felt violated! Yes- violated haha I had all these thoughts swarming in my head about how that shouldn't of happened, I should only have to get poked once, poor me, life is rough, blah blah blah. Ridiculous right? haha Over some student blood test and I was about to start bawling. Not cool- and I'm kind of embarrassed now thinking about it. I pulled out the 'pregnancy card' and told Neal not to judge me for being a cry baby.
Last time you cried over something REALLY ridiculous: Tuesday... leaving Arctic Circle... with a Reese's shake in my hand. I had a coupon for a $1.99 shake at arctic circle. No one in their right mind would pass that up so I went through the drive-thru and order my usual Reese's Shake with extra Reese's. Every time they hear my little voice through the speakers they probably think, "She's baaaacckkk!". I love my shakes! So I pull up to the 2nd window, hand over my credit card not realizing that this was going to be the BIGGEST waste of a $1.99 + tax, and proceeded to wait for my shake. I get the card back, with a receipt, and then it happens..... they hand me my Reese's shake with extra Reese's.
"What is this" -Me
"Your Reese's shake" -Teenage boy who hates his job
"No- these aren't Reese's. These are generic 'peanut butter' cups in the shape of mini Reese's" -Me
"Oh- well that's because we have the new Moose Tracks shake this month so we have to use the same peanut butter cups for both shakes" -Teenage boy who hates his job
"Um....are you ever going to switch back? This isn't what I thought I ordered" -Me
"Uh.... well yeah..... next month" -Teenage boy who hates his job
I thanked him for his information and drove off in a fit of fury! Fury turned to sadness and I shed a tear or two over my stupid generic peanut butter shake. It was the biggest disappointment... and yet I felt pretty ridiculous for crying about it haha
What I’m looking forward to: My baby shower! My friends are putting together a baby shower up in salt lake for my girlfriends and family members. I'm so excited and I can't believe that it's only 3 weeks away!
Worst thing about being pregnant: The feeling of never being comfortable.
Best thing about being pregnant: Knowing that I'm going to be fulfilling my divine role as a mother soon. I can't wait to have him here and know that he is ours forever :)
