Savannah is currently rolling around causing my belly to take odd shapes and random shutters. It’s so neat to see and feel something pointy like (elbow maybe?) travel across my tummy, letting me know there is in fact a little human being in there. It still boogles my mind. 

 Yesterday was the dreaded Gluose Test.  Really, I don’t know why pregnant woman dread it so much, it really isn’t that bad.  I guess it’s the combination of knowing you can’t really eat for awhile, having to drink a sugary drink you don’t know if you’ll like it enough to wantto drink, and then having to sit around for an hour to have your blood drawn.  Each thing in it’s self isn’t that bad, but add all that together? Yuck.  In the end though, I made it through, with Mark by my side making sure I didn’t pass out. And in all honestly, it really isn’t that bad.  Some how my usual constant hunger pains didn’t exist yesterday morning AND I wasn’t grouchy like I normally would be without food. For that, I’ll thank God (I’m sure Mark does too!).

 We also had a regular Dr. appointment that went well.  Savannah’s heart beat sounded good and she ended the listening with a nice kick.  My belly is measuring well too, even thought it seems HUGE on my little body.  And, apparently I’ve gained 4 pounds in the last two weeks.  That means I’ve gained 30 pounds total already, when I still have technically 3 months left. I didn’t want to gain more than 30 period. Guess who will be cutting out sugary drinks and snacks? Me. Not fun. 

  I’m not used to gaining weight, especially so quickly, and having to watch my weight.  I’ve always been a small girl in both height and weight. I’ve always been one of those girls that others hate because I could eat anything I wanted and not worry about it. When I’m not pregnant, even if I wanted to gain weight, I can’t.   Now, it’s the opposite. Oh, pre-pregnancy body, I’d like you back right now about.  Though I’ve been told I still look beautiful, just more “filled out.”  And filled out, I am.  I can’t complain about ALL the effects of weight gain :-)

 After our appointment Mark and I had lunch together.  I was craving a sweet breakfast and thankfully Bojangles had just what I was looking for.  I think Mark liked what I was craving too, I saw him nibble of my cinnimon bisquit! 

 And now that I’ve written all that about weight gain, I think I’ll go eat some Christmas cookies.  Hey, I’m at work, it’s all I have at the moment ;-)
