Every 2 Weeks

I guess with your first pregnancy it gets kinda fun when your appointments switch to every 2 weeks...it makes you feel like things are really getting going, especially that first time they check your cervix and tell you that you are 1 cm dilated. Well, maybe it's just me, but with #2, I am really peeved to have to go in every 2 weeks just to pee in a cup and have them take a few measurements. Honestly...I have to take a toddler downtown and mess with a parking garage and validation and elevators and all that for a 10 min doctor appointment. Can't I just mail in some pee?

My current weight is 150.5 lbs. I guess I've been exercising too much (read: chasing, hauling and dragging around a 30lb toddler) and last night's peanut M&M binge didn't do enough to tip the scale. Current weight gain to date is still ~19lbs.

Week 29 - Glucose Test

This time at the OB I enjoyed taking the glucose test. The use of the word enjoyed is sarcasm. Most women hate the orange flavored suggary drink you have to take down in 5 minutes. This is probably bad to admit, but I am fond enough of sugar that it doesn't bother me that much. I'm as surprised as you, especially since I don't care for anything orange flavored (even oranges the fruit are pretty low on my list of favorite fruits). I also don't drink soda so this type of drink is way out of my zone. Long story short, I passed my test and therefore don't have gestational diabetes. Good thing. I really like me some sugar. Boston Creme donuts are still one the menu!

Today's weight 151lbs. Total weight gain = 19lbs.
