I passed my glucose test!! I was no where near failing! Which is surprising since I ate an apple fritter earlier in the day! Haha!! I just couldn't pass up a donut! The rest of the appointment was ok. I measured at 26 weeks which is good because I was 25.5 weeks. Rella's heart beat was 164 which is the highest its ever been. I blame it on the sugar drink :) haha. The doctor had to run out to an emergency C section right when our appoitment was supposed to start so we ran out to Costco and did some shopping then came back for my appointment. We asked the nurse before we left and she okayed Prilosec OTC so we grabbed it at Costco. But it was $35 for 42 pills!! So when we got back I asked if there was an Rx she could give me instead. So she gave me protonix which only costs me $5 for 30 pills with insurance :) I also talked with her about my edema and work stress. They offered to write me a note to keep me off my feet at work and told me if the stress is too much they can take me off of work now. I opted to stick it out for now. I just feel so weak compared to other women who work up until the day they deliver. Why am I such a weenie? Like my SIL is an RN and she worked up until the week before her won was born. I don't know how she was on her feet all day at work for 12 hour shifts! I feel so bad when I compare myself to her so I guess I'd best stop...
I was up a few more pounds.. I've gained so much.. but I'll just have to lose it after she is born.
I have fallen absolutely head over heels inlove with the name Rella. Jeff isn't anywhere near sold on it. In fact he doesn't like it at all. I am praying I can get him to like it. I figure he didn't like MaherLee at first either so if I just keep refering to her as Rella he'll come around.
I am gettign really excited for Thanksgiving!! And it looks like my MIL and my mother will both be throwing showers for me! Should be fun! The first will be by my MIL and it will be friends, coworkers, and his side of the family. The 2nd one will be my side of the family. I have a huge family. Now we have to register..........
I attached my bumpdate from yesterday.

My second I was crazy busy on my feet and worked out up till the day before I went into labor. I'm doing pretty good this time but not as good as with second one. Boys just give me a harder time. Point is (and I think you know this) each pregnancy is different. You are under a lot of stress so don't add more on by kicking yourself in the ass or comparing to other chicks. (Which is also why I try not to look at too many bump photos and wonder why I gain so much. And with the weight, I know it doesn't matter what I say but you've lost it before you can do it again. Honestly you remind me of me a bit so try to ease up on yourself. All that's gonna do is make things worse for you when you need to take care of yourself mentally and physically. Use this to motivate you for when she comes out to get back on track and get sexy again! Besides you still look beautiful! ;) |
