Week 30

Week 30

Wow what a busy week! Let me introduce you to the craziness that has been our life this summer:

Thursday: Drive to Seattle, check-in to hotel, go to Rehearsal in Snohomish (an hour in traffic) and then drive back for Rehearsal dinner

Friday: Wake up, go to breakfast with Tyler (groom), get ready, Danny heads to begin wedding festivities, I drive to Lynnwood for shopping, wedding at 6, party till Midnight

Saturday:  Wake up, get ready, Post wedding festivities at Katie's house, head to South Center for errands, go to Corey and Chelsea's for Lincoln's 3rd birthday party, head back to Aunt Renee's at Midnight

Sunday:  The weekend is catching up with us now, get up, get presents for mom ready, have my baby shower (amazing), enjoy family and friends, hit the road, get home at 9 PM

Monday: Wake up for a full day of work

YUCK!  It has been a fun couple of months but definitely wearing on me, looking forward to slowing down (minus Cougar football) after our fabulous Chelan getaway this weekend.

The wedding and parties were all so fabulous this weekend.  Kennedy and I got spoiled rotten on Sunday!  She is going to be one best dressed baby!  IT was also my wonderful mother's 50th birthday, I can't believe she has hit that mark, she still seems so young to me :)  Guess that is good news for this girl?  She has a big year, 50, first time Gma and married for 30 years...SHE IS BUSY!

Yesterday morning I had my 3 hour glucose test.  Needless to say I was STRESSED about what the possibilities of the test could bring us.  I watched everything I ate on Tuesday (even skipped a donut, my favorite) and woke up Wednesday nearly at my wits end.  Got to the lab and started my test at 8:45, first draw not so bad but everyone is right, the drink doesn't taste bad but it kicks your ass.  After about 10 minutes my stomach was cramping bad and I thought I was going to throw up.  The lady told me if I did I would have to go home and come back another day to start over...obviously I coached myself through that!  After my 2nd draw I felt fine just HUNGRY.  Kept myself occupied working on thank you cards and facebooking, it is crazy how much information people give you once you vocalize what you are going through.  Found out a lot of people I know have been through this and they survived.  This morning I called the Doc and got GREAT news...ALL NORMAL LEVELS!!  No Gestational Diabetes for this girl :)  And note to all friends who may be having babies soon, DO NOT EAT ANY SUGAR the day before your test because it will effect the results of the 1 hour!

Tomorrow we leave on our last mini vacation without the little miss, so excited to see my bestie :)

How far along? 30 weeks 

Baby size: 3 pounds and almost 16 inches-head of cabbage

 

Total weight gain/loss:+32 pounds! The weight has slowed down the last few weeks making me a happy camper!

Maternity clothes? Love them! Wish I had a budget to buy a bunch but trying to control myself since I WILL NOT FIT in them after Kk arrives!

 

Stretch marks? Still holding strong at the 6 on my sides and a couple on my bikini line...ew

Sleep: Eh, wish it was normal but I guess that won't be happening for a couple more years!

 

Best moment this week: My baby shower, I love getting showered and having the best friends and family a girl could ask for!

Movement: She is a tumbler.  Not only is she kicking, I think she rolls around during her awake times!  She also loves my right rib, she wedges herself in there real tight.

Food cravings: Nope

Miss anything?: Beer...first Cougar Football game of the season...this will be a long 2 months!!

Anything making you queasy or sick: That stupid sugar drink :)
