Well I went to the doctor this week- for our 7 month check-up, which is just mind blowing that I'm already in my 28th week. And this appt. was also the oh so fun glucose tolerance test- you mommys out there know how much fun this one is! Actually to be honest, I was so thirsty since I hadn't had anything to drink in 2 hours that the lemon-lime drink really wasn't that bad! I passed the glucose test but like many pregnant women, I am now anemic so I get to add some iron to my prenatal vitamin- bring on the GI problems! My uterus did measure a little big for my gestation, measuring over 29 weeks. So we're going to "keep an eye on her growth"- hopefully this means I can be induced early and not have to suffer in the middle of July (although I would love to be able to go into labor naturally). And I did once again gain another 7lbs this month....yup thats a grand total of 21 lbs in 7 months. So I am again saying for the second month in a row I am going to go on more walks and eat better...we'll see how this goes!
I got a job as a RN- I will be working on the oncology unit. I'll start June 7th......so excited to be making some real money! The plan is to work up until "D-day" and then take off 6-8 weeks to spend with the little princess. Maycee will be going to daddy day care, as Matt is home for 48 hours after working a 24hr shift. And on the days when we're both working- she'll spend her days with her Gammy or her Auntie Courtney. I will only be working 3 days/week, so between our schedules- she's going to be able to be taken care of by family only!
Alright, well that's about enough for now- until next time!

I think I might have already told you this but seriously... don't worry about the weight you gain, just enjoy it! It's the one time that you can gain weight and not have to worry about sucking in or anything! Your body is being used for something fantastic and that weight will come off when it's all over, I promise! =) I gained 40 with both and it all came off so enjoy and eat up! You look amazing! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. I can't believe you are 28 weeks. Keep me posted.
