How is everyone doing?!

clkriley89 · July 2014

Well I was doing great (other than the sciatic pain that has been plaguing me for weeks) until one of our customers made the following comment to me:

"I sure hope you're pregnant."

I wish I would have been thinking on my feet and said "Uh, no, why do you ask?" Of course I wasn't and my reply was "What?" so he repeated himself. This man is well in his 60s. And they say my generation is rude. 8-|

Doing ok here. I hopped on the scale the other day for the first time in a while and found that I had lost about 2 lbs. I'm pretty happy, but a little concerned about baby girl. I feel like I'm getting bigger, but people keep telling me that my bump is on the small side. I try not to let it get to me, but it's hard not to since I'm trying so hard to be so good. Today, I broke down and got a Cantina burrito from Taco Bell...and it was SOOOOOOOOO good. No regrets here. But, I'm still really hungry and I think the whole pregnancy hunger is catching up to me.

Good news is I've been finding a lot of healthy recipes on Pinterest that sound DELICIOUS...I can't wait to try them!

Otherwise, things here are good. I have my 30w appt tomorrow along with a growth scan and I am just so excited to see my baby! I can't wait to peek in to see what she's doing and how she's growing

. It's hard to believe that after tomorrow, the next time I'll see her is when I hold her after delivery! It's getting scary, guys :-)

@mana8503 Thanks for putting this up today! I was busy this morning and figured I'd post it when I got home :-)

Feeling fine. I lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks after my GD diagnosis. My doctor seemed pleased with that, and pleased that my numbers have not gone over target since my diagnosis, so I can't really complain. Looking forward to a 3-day weekend with DH! :x

Hi everyone,

Feeling pretty good. Ive over did it the last week or so. We did some landscaping over the weekend, and then we had huge storms the last few days and lost power for 2 days, so its been 2 days of me on my hands and knees in our crawlspace checking the sump pump while DH is at work.

Ive been feeling more and more bloated, hips are starting to ache a bit as well.

I feel weird we are skipping our 28 week appointment and ultrasound (drs office is closed tomorrow) till next week. Curious to see how the little guy is doing!

Looking forward to our long weekend up at my brother in laws family lake house for the long weekend.

I'm doing good! Still waiting for my 3 hour glucose results, but I've been trying to make better food choices. I tried zoodles, zuchinni cut with a spiral shredder so it's noodle shaped. I loved it! And I have a ton of zuchinni from my dad's garden. I sauté it in olive oil and garlic and top with spaghetti sauce (with ground turkey and mushrooms)

I've been uncomfortable, and after the bra talk I realized it's from the underwire. I'm still a 40G bra size but my wire is cutting into my belly. And baby girl does not like anything in "her space". I think I'm going to try out Nordstrom this weekend.

I'm also trying to figure out what to wear for our maternity / family pictures. I thought my step daughter and I in pink / purple and the boys in gray. I found a gray / white maxi skirt at old Navy... But I'm having issues with the top. I'll find one but they never have my size! Idk if I want a tank top because I also have a bra strap poking out..

I am jealous of you ladies getting scans later in pregnancy. My last one was at the Anatomy Scan and we don't get another one unless we go to one of those places where we just pay out of pocket.

I had my 31 week apt yesterday and I gained 4lbs in 2 weeks

that was the first time that has happened and they weren't very happy. I have to admit that I havent been very good. In the past two weeks I had a baby shower, 5 days worth of company staying with me and my birthday so I really need to get back on track.

My blood pressure is still great though so I definitely put that in the win column. Other than that I am looking forward to the 3 day weekend even though DH has to work 2 days of it. At least I dont!

Not too much to update on here. Doing pretty well. I took my 3 hour glucose yesterday, but won't hear back with results until next week due to the holiday.

I have an appointment next week on Tuesday, and it'll be the first one I've gone to without DH. We decided that in order to save his time off now that I'm going more frequently, he's only going with me to the appointments with ultrasounds. I know it's silly, but I'm going to miss having him there with me.

Also, my whole pregnancy I haven't had any overwhelming feeling of there being so much left to do until this week. I don't know if it hit because it's July, and I know there's only two months until September now, but I keep feeling like I have tons left to get ready, and I need to get everything done now.

@JeremiahsBabe - haha I was reading your post and wondered if I was reading my own somehow! I'm looking for bras and a maternity / family shoot outfit too.

softsoprano · July 2014

I'm doing ok. I am randomly getting little anxiety attacks, which are not fun 'cause then I worry about what the stress is doing to the baby

It just seems like there's soo much to do and not enough time to do it. A lot of it is stuff DH needs to do, but he doesn't seem to be getting through things very quickly, then he complains that we're so busy. Well yeah, it happens. That's life. Deal with it. Anyway.... my feet hurt and I'm hungry all the time and wish baby girl would stay off my bladder. And I need to go ahead and get new nursing bras too, 'cause the under wire is the bane of my existence right now. I have one from Walmart that was cheap, and they had a ton of sizes. Probably just go with those, 'cause I hate spending money.

Ha I know right! I saw yours after I posted :P I keep searching pinterest for clothing ideas but not liking anything!

I found some color schemes on pinterest that helped me. That's where I decided pink and gray would look cute. I ordered the gray and white maxi skirt and a pink top from old Navy (I hope it works!). I'll make sure my stepdaughter has something pink design... Dress or short set. H and stepson will probably do jeans and a gray Polo. They don't do designs lol. Ahhhhh so stressful but priceless in the end.

We did pictures in 2011 and did shades of blue and jeans. I didn't think it looked too matchy.
