29 Weeks

Pregnancy Update

29 weeks along and 11 weeks to go

Workout mileage this week: 2.17 (not cool but can't be helped... Mike is out of town and I don't like bringing Warren with me)

Cravings: Lucky Charms, Red Grapefruit

Weight gain thus far: Still hovering at 19lbs



In hindsight, perhaps horizontal stripes were not the most fashionable choice for a pregnant belly.

 

In other news, I failed my one hour glucose (gestational diabetes) test this week.  Now I have to go in on Friday and take the 3 hour glucose test, boo!  I'll let you know how that turns out.  It would just figure that this time around I'm in far better shape, have much better eating habits, am way more active and fit, weigh less and would end up with gestational diabetes!  We shall see.  Oh yeah, and despite taking a prenatal vitamin the size of a horse pill every night before bed, my iron levels are low.  Now I get to take an iron supplement on top of the prenatals.  The prenatals cause enough constipation as it is, can't wait to see what an extra iron supplement does!

Speaking of weighing less and being in better shape this time around, I had to go buy new maternity pants on Monday.  My pants from the 1st pregnancy are way too big and look ridiculous.  I could fit 2 of my asses in them.  Not a great look.  I went shopping on my lunch break and the clerk wanted me to wear the new pants out of the store.  The old pants must have looked pretty damn bad, hahaha!




New pants sans droopy ass.  I'll have to get a shot of the old pants for comparison.



I picked up some fabric for the nursery today.  I'm pretty excited about it.  Here's a little sneak peak for you:

How cute is this!?

And last but certainly not least, while driving to work Monday morning I passed a giant potato on a flatbed semi.  Only in Idaho ;)



No, it's not real.
