Well, Josh and I just got back from our mini vacation in Chattanooga. We stayed at the Chattanooga Choo Choo, had some amazing steaks at Hennen’s, went to the aquarium, took a ride on a train, and basically pigged out. It was nice!
Here’s a few of my favorite pictures from the trip to the aquarium
This past week was a busy one. I had two doctor appointments, as I failed my 1 hr glucose test. The doc concluded that I don’t have gestational diabetes, but I do eat too many carbs and not enough protein, so basically my glucose levels are not stable. Come to think of it, I don’t eat a lot of protein. Even when we make meals with chicken or beef, I usually eat around it and basically just eat the pasta or whatever carb it is mixed with. I’ve seriously had to think about what I order/make before eating. I know I should’ve been better about that this whole pregnancy, but it’s so hard when it sounds disgusting. This week’s check in…
Weight Gain: 25 lbs in 29 weeks
Eli’s Size: He should be about 2 and 3/4 pounds, or about the size of an acorn squash. I didn’t get to see him at our last appointment, but I really feel like he’s on the bigger side (maybe 3 lbs?)
Cravings: chocolate, donuts, anything unhealthy
Side effects: heartburn, Charlie horses, hip pain, seeing stars, forgetfulness
Wedding rings on or off? Still off. I think I’ve given up until Eli is here
Most awkward moment? Getting winded at work (it only happens when I have to speak for long periods….which I do every work day) and having a client ask if I was about to vomit. I know other people experience this, but it’s seriously weird, and hard to explain to people I’m supposed to be treating.
Best moment? My sister finding cheap tickets to come visit us after we have the baby!! Also, just relaxing with Josh on our mini vacation. I loved everything about it, but the best part was just being able to chat and relax without distractions. The food was pretty good too! Speaking of which, I could totally use another white chocolate hot chocolate right about now.
What we bought: Don’t judge me I just got paid! I got him this really cute moose boppy cover, his forest animal mobile, and a door silencer.
He also got many sweet presents from people including this realllly cute Mario onesie, an owl humidifier, and his very first monogrammed gifts! My mom got him a sock monkey soother and sock monkey towel set that is personalized just for him! I’m super excited.
Well, I’m off! I made some Golushki earlier today that I might just munch on. Have a great week!!
