How Far Along: 27 weeks! 

Size of baby: Rutabaga. What is a Rutabaga? What ever it is... must be big because I feel huge ;)

Sleep: Is so-so, sometimes my hips will hurt and it's harder to pop out of bed. I also have to pee a lot. But I hear it only gets worse in the last 3 months, so grateful for how much I am getting now.

Total Weight Gain: 25 pounds. Uh oh.. that's like 6 pounds since the last post and I am suppose to be only gaining a pound a week. Slow it down!

Symptoms: Feeling big. Definitely look pregnant. I feel like when you're pregnant you think you don't really look pregnant, and then you look in a mirror and wowza, there you are baby! My back is starting to hurt a bit carrying this weight around. Also feet are bit swollen, so I like wearing sandals. 

Movement: You're moving away. Still feel a bit low, but slowly the movement feels higher and higher. That means you're getting bigger and bigger. Keep growing baby girl.  

Maternity Clothes: You know I don't really want to have to buy clothes, but things are just starting to not look right. And since I have to be somewhat presentable every day at work, my clothes are becoming limiting. So I shop sparingly, but I got a cute pair of white maternity pants (from Ross! $14.99!) love good deals. 

Go-to eats: Well I found out some bad news that I failed my 1-hour glucose screening test. Boo. By 2 points. I guess normal is under 139 and I got 141. So that means I have to go back to the hospital for a 3 hour test on Friday (so it's more accurate) and they will draw my blood 4 times. Ugg, not looking forward to that. So we'll see what this test reveals, but if it's positive, then that means I have gestational diabetes and I really have to watch my diet. Which I will be honest with you, I haven't been the best at. I kind just eat what I crave.. I do try and throw some fruit (loving fruit) and other healthy things in the mix, but I've been loving my sweets. But if I have GD, no more sweets! 

Best moment of the week: Well today our 3 year anniversary! Woo hoo. We're going to Shadowbrook for dinner tonight. So that should be fun. Last weekend saw some of your future friends. Went to Renee's baby shower and celebrated the arrival of her upcoming baby girl. We also met Ronan, Shirene's baby boy and all her family was celebrating AJs first bday. And Sunday we BBQed at MaMa's house for Father's Day. Busy weekend. The weekend before went boating and swimming, got lots of sun. 

Gender: Have not even thought of a name! You might be nameless baby girl till the day you're born. 

Workout: If I have GD, I better be ready to work out more, but so far I move around daily due to going to work and I live a some what active lifestyle. When it was warmer last week I went swimming a few times. Love to feel light in the water. But other then that I am not running marathons or anything ;) But I could be walking a bit more. 

What I’m looking forward to: Getting started on the house! Really getting started! We have a contractor. Mr Wong who did the duplex. Yipee! Brian and I went to Home Depot the day before yesterday and got a good list going and he went back yesterday evening with Eric and picked it up a bunch of materials. We are going to have a beautiful new house for a our beautiful baby girl to play in soon. 

Milestones and stressors: I guess this dreaded 3 hour glucose test that I have to do on Friday is a bit stressful. I hate getting my blood drawn, but 4 times in 3 hours. Ouch! But other then that feeling good, feeling positive. I need to start looking into birthing classes and getting a tour scheduled of the hospital. Lots of to-dos! Once the house if started and finished I'll feel much better too. My "nesting" tendencies make me a bit anxious (especially with your father) that garage!!
