Time is really starting to fly by, seems like just yesterday I was finding out I was pregnant. Ok that's a lie, it actually seems like a really long time! I'd be lying if I said a nice big glass of wine didn't sound amazing right about now :) but I will happily abstain for another few months - I want this little girl as healthy as possible! So far she seems to be growing well... At my appointment today my doctor said "wow your belly is ALL baby!". She also said I've gained an appropriate amount of weight (which if you're dying to know is about 20 pounds) - she said I could and might gain about a pound a week until the baby is born, ah! That's a lot more weight! How is my body handling it so far you ask? Well, I have good days and bad days... After my prenatal massage Wendsesday, the good days are more frequent this week! Last week my sciatic pain was close to unbearable at times.... Made for VERY long 12 hour shifts at work. I'm hopeful this weekend will be better (and I've scheduled another massage in a few weeks... Might have to move it up a week if it gets bad again!).
In other news, we have snow! About 3-5 inches surprisingly. Kona is loving running around in it, and then plopping down by the fire to dry off. Jeremy and I have been luckily enough to have the last two nights off but we both go back to work tomorrow night so fingers crossed the weather gets better or at least doesn't get any worse. Have I mentioned how much I love my commute to work now that it's only about 15 minutes?!
Some pictures from this week:
<--- Brr!
Drinking the glucose drink... You have to chug it within five minutes then come back and hour later to get your blood drawn. It was like a room temperature sprite with a ton of extra syrup in it. Not so good!
Kona enjoying the snow!
