Sorry I haven't written in a while and I guess I'm due for a new tummy picture....I'll put one up soon. I got a new camera for my birthday (from Shaff) and still am trying to figure it out, so when I figure out how to put a BELLY pic up I'll do it, because it is huge!! I'm telling you!! It's huge....it sure feels huge! I love going to the dr and stepping on that scale and seeing numbers I've never seen before and hoped I never would, but atleast I have a human in there and I didn't just gain it all from the holidays, right!! I went to the doctor yesterday and everything was great. She checked the heart beat (like always) and measured the girth of the stomach and so on. The appointments always last like 2 minutes. I have now started going every two weeks. You only go every 4 weeks for a while, but now that I'm in the 3rd TrImEsTeR I go every two weeks!!
During the Christmas Break (since I'm a teacher, they last 2 weeks and they are the most glorious things in the world) I had to do a gestational diabetes test b/c I guess a lot of pregnant women can have diabetes while they are pregnant, but then it goes away after they have the baby. So usually doctors just have to drink this nasty drink and then you get your blood drawn.....not mine!! I had a meal to eat, a huge meal and then 2 hours later i get my blood drawn. The test came back fine!! So that's good!! Anyway, this is what i had to eat:
a huge waffle (could have had 2 pancakes, but the waffle sounded so good) WITH butter and regular syrup (yes it said that), 4 pieces of bacon, 2 slices of bread WITH butter and jam, a glass of juice or a bowl of fruit and I think that's it.
I looked at the list of food before I went in to Jimmy's Egg to eat it and thought, "oh that's easy...I can do that no problemo"...well I was wrong. I ate the HUMONGOUS waffle with the butter and syrup and tried to sip on the orange juice at the same time. So I got 3/4 of the way done with it and started on the bacon. The bacon was maybe the best part b/c it wasn't BREAD!! So I had a few pieces of the bacon, while still trying to drink the sugar juice. Then I thought, okay I've got all this bread and jam to eat...I should probably start on it!! So I had a couple bites of it and then ...I FELT SICK!! I mean, I am not a small eater at all...I can eat a lot when needed and when food tastes good....but all the bread was filling up in my stomach and getting soaked by the sugar juice. It was difficult. Thinking about it and writing about it, kinda makes me a lil sick right now!! Anyway, it was pretty funny...I think Shaff really enjoyed watching me endulge in it!!
