Week 31

It has been an interesting week or 2. Last week Madison had a GI bug, so we had her first throw up going on. Poor baby girl. It freaked her out so bad it wasn't funny. It made Valentine's Day kind of lame because she was still sick & Mommy & Daddy were over tired because she chose to be sick in the middle of the night 2 nights in a row.

Just when I thought we were all done with the GI bug, I got it on Sunday. My first time with more than a cold while pregnant. It was a little scary to think I could have dehydrated with that bug. Thankfully it didn't last too long for me. I was pretty much done in less than 24 hours. The hubby sent me to bed & stepped up taking care of Madison, who didn't go easy on him at all.

Monday, I got a call from my OB's office saying that I failed the 1 hour glucose test & had to go in & take the 3 hour. Well, I did that today, so now we are just awaiting the results to find out if they are going to tell me if I passed or if I failed & need a new diet. I really hope I passed, but part of me wants to fail so my insurance has to pay for me to see a nutritionist, although I want my chocolate & bread! So torn! Really though I don't want to be told I have gestational diabetes.

How far along? 30 weeks 3 days

Total weight gain: 16 lbs

Maternity clothes? Yes, since about 7 weeks

Stretch marks? On the stomach

Linea Nigra:  Still Not yet (never had one with Madison, so...)

Sleep: Not much. Insomnia is back.

Times you Potty a Night: 2 + times a night

Best moment of the week: Snuggling on the couch with my hubby & Madison

Miss anything?  Not really

Movement: Yes, I'm getting kicked & punched daily. Hubby is finally able to feel the movement of this baby girl & now pokes & prods at her when she does kick him.

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Not at all.

Cravings: Mexican Food!

Gender prediction:  Doesn't matter anymore because its a girl
Gender: GIRL

Labor signs:  No. Just some Braxton Hicks every now & again

Symptoms:  The bump in front, some sore boobs, & pregnancy insomnia & being uncomfortable

Aches & Pains:  A sore lower back from carrying the bump & a sciatic nerve pain

Belly button in or out? In (never popped out with Madison, so I'm curious if it will stay that way)

Wedding rings on or off? Off. Sadness.

Happy or moody most of the time? Uncomfortable & more moody than happy lately (might have something to do with a toddler acting out)

Looking forward to: Finishing off all the things that need to be done before she gets here. Oh & my massage, pedicure & manicure, but those aren't until the end of March!

I passed! I rocked the 3 hour glucose test. Not one of my 4 blood draws were elevated! Take that Gestational Diabetes! My poor arms look like hell from all the blood draws.
