it's cute when you find the pictures but not so cute when they get home and you are the one who has to clean her once white, clean shoes and both of their sets of muddy clothes....is it just me or am i not alone in my thinking? at least the park picked flowers my hubby gets her to bring home for me take away some of the shock, hey wait, maybe that's part of their plan???well before i finish up, here's a quick update on the little bean, this pic is me at 27 weeks - almost the 3rd trimester...eeek!!!! this baby is sooo active, always a kicking and a moving. i had to go for that horrible glucose screening test today and my 2nd lovely rh negative shot - so fun! yeah right. yuck! at least they improved the taste from when i had to take it when i was preggers with mackenzie, it tasted like chalk then and i almost hurled it at the nurse. this time i kept it down, but it was still nasty.
i don't drink pop, so this stuff was killer for me to chug in under 10 minutes. well at least i wasn't alone, there were 2 other preggos in the wait room and we might as well have cheered each other and pretended they were tequila shots and downed the nasty, sugar filled liquid. it's always fun to have someone to commiserate with, even if the after effect isn't a nice alcohol buzz but a tiring sugar high. maybe the baby had fun? i know i sure didn't, oh the joys of pregnancy.

I've never understood that test, and I'm a childbirth educator! When in the real world do we EVER ingest that much sugar at one time? It's such a weird test.

What a lovely dress! I think this is my first time commenting: I really enjoy your blog!
ReplyDeleteJenny - True enough! I agree 100%, it's a horrible procedure!
ReplyDeleteLaurie Anne - Thanks so much hun! That's sweet of you :)
Jessica - Awwww, you guys are making me blush. I love that dress too, it was one of the few things I bought new, it's from H&M's maternity line, so comfy and I think I could pull it off with some alterations after the baby is born as well.
Mags - How you feeling hun? Thanks for the sweet words, they mean a lot to me.
Jessica - Thanks for commenting! Come back and chat again! Glad you enjoy the blog!
Oh man.. Did I ever hate taking that glucose test with all three and the Rh neg shot....... My Mom had gestational diabetes when she was pregnant so my midwife always was on the safe side and got me tested. It seemed like such a small amount to finish in 10 min, but heck I was gaging and didn't think I could do it come the 6 minute mark....
ReplyDeleteI would take my rho-gam shot in the bum any day over that glucose drink. Blah...
Hope you are feeling better from the orange sugar high.
Crazy that you know Lele?! Small world Victoria is...I think it would be fun to meet up in person! We will make a date!

ReplyDeleteIck, I hate those tests. I can almost taste it again, and it's been years!
