glucola

Passed!

by Jessica on November 23, 2009

I passed my Glucola test, good thing, too, since I’m sitting at my desk eating a giant brownie courtesy of my Chef aunt, whom I love dearly.

This weekend was a busy one, even though we mostly hung around the house. We saw New Moon on Friday, which was AMAZING! It was definitely better than the first and stuck to the book much more closely. I was very satisfied with it. We had to wait in line to get in the theater and yes, lots of teenage girls squealed every time Taylor Lautner walked on screen, much to Trevor’s chagrin.

Saturday, we decorated for Christmas, which was quite a process. Yes, it’s early to decorate, but we had the tree out even earlier last year. It’s Trevor’s fault, he loves Christmas and begs and begs to decorate earlier each year. Lucky for him, I love the holidays just as much as he does and cave every single time. I managed to make him hold out until this weekend, at least. We discovered many casualties from the cat basement disaster when they knocked over a box of ornaments this summer. Luckily, most can be revived with super glue. I’ll post pictures soon, but our house is quite festive looking.

We also tackled the dreaded guest room of doom, that had been filled with all the hodgepodge items I moved out of Knox’s room and all of my darling husband’s camping paraphernalia (which was the bulk of it). It took us about three hours, but it now looks like a guest room once more, and I am so relieved to have that task out of the way!

Knox’s rocking chair came in on Friday and it’s now in his room. It looks awesome! I need to take pictures of that, too, so hopefully I’ll have some nursery progress pics up for you guys tomorrow. My mom paid for the baby dresser today, so we can probably get that in there this week, too. I love seeing things come along in there. It makes it seem so much more real.

Mmmm, Glucola.

by Jessica on November 19, 2009

I had the dreaded and much anticipated Glucola test this morning. This checks to see if I have Gestational Diabetes. Seriously, I don’t know why people make such a big deal out of it. I wasn’t really worried, I’m sure I’ve drank much worse in my college days. Yes, the stuff is sugary, but that’s about all. It tastes just like Little Hugs (those “juice” drinks we used to have as kids in the little plastic barrels”) with just a little more sugar. I drank it, waited an hour, then got blood drawn. That stung more than usual, but I survived it, thankfully.

Everything looks good with baby Knox, so that is always good news. :) The doctor told me to bring in a birth plan next time so we can go over it because “you’re going to have a baby really soon.” It’s so weird to think about. I have, unfortunately, gained 23 pounds already. I gained four from two weeks ago. Whoops! I have got to stop indulging the baby with all the cookies and brownies that HE wants. I emphasize HE here because I really don’t eat that stuff normally. The baby is the only explanation.

Knox is getting really strong- he woke me from a solid sleep at 3 this morning banging on my ribs with his tiny feet. It didn’t hurt, but it was powerful… my entire stomach was moving around. He did this for about five minutes, and I was starting to wonder what was going on. He finally exhausted himself and went back to sleep. He is wired this morning, of course, after all that sugar at the appointment. I much prefer this to Tuesday when he barely moved all day long (<-- not cool, baby, not cool).

AND I won a giveaway over at Baby Rabies, my all time FAVE blog! I was quite thrilled. I think I get a burp cloth, bib and paci clip so that’s pretty awesome!
