So I'm 27 weeks this week and on Monday I went in for a check up. Here's a quick summary:
-I still haven't gained weight. Seriously?!!!! Are you kidding me???!!!! (That's what I yelled in the doc's office while the nurse laughed at me) I'm eating like a maniac! Everyone who knows me knows I LOVES my food. I got on the scale and the SAME number popped up since my first appointment in February. The belly is definitely there and I guess the weight has shifted. I guess this is a blessing in a lot of ways...I know that River's eating a lot of my food so that's nice. She's such a good baby. I feel like God's been giving me grace with Jamin gone. I feel so healthy pregnant and I just love my belly. When I'm not pregnant, I gain weight easily and I have a belly full of fat instead of a belly full of life :)
-I failed my 1 hour glucose test. No shocker there...it's frustrating but I've been diagnosed pre-diabetic before and I had to check my blood sugar and go on the diabetic diet in college. Now I have to take the 3 hour test (blah) and I hope that I pass that one. Praying for no gestational diabetes!
-River's heartbeat is still going strong :) Jamin got me an iPhone for Christmas which I didn't want (because it was a want and not a need) but it's been such a blessing! I got to send him the video of her heartbeat right away. Thank God for technology!
Well that's it really...Emily left a couple of days ago so I'm adjusting back to busy life. I'm spending most of my days eating, sleeping, and preparing for VBS. While she was here she taught me how to quilt so that's been a new addiction in my life. I hope to teach River everything I know so that she can be well-rounded domestic diva :) If she hates everything then oh well, I'll embrace her for who she is. She could be just like her poppa, calm, patient, and completely NOT artsy fartsy :) And that's ok, because I'm TOTALLY IN LOVE with him :)
