Lol I am glad that I don't roast but I'd love to wear a nice dress and get a pretty pic!!

Today I feel as though I grew over night!! I actually had a comment today at work that I looked bigger today then yesterday.. I actually feel stretched and uncomfortable.. I'm guessing its probably the way the baby is sitting.. It's honestly the first time that I can say that I feel awkward and uncomfortable

I feel big too...since the last few days. I went into NYC with DH to meet up with some old coworkers of ours for dinner and I was pleasantly surprised when a man gave up his seat at the bar where we met for drinks - he pointed to his belly and then his chair and waved me over!!! I guess I finally look pretty pregnant On the other hand, the restaurant we went to refused to let me order food (other than bar snacks like olives, bread, pickles etc) while we waited for a table! We waited 1 hour and 40 min and then had to leave to catch our train! So no dinner for me yet...on train home and it's 9:40pm What a sucky establishment!!!

I have my GTT tomorrow morning...so home, light snack and off to bed. I'll check in after my appointment

 

[skeet9924]

I can't believe they wouldn't let you order food!! That very annoying!! Good luck at your gtt !!

Lovely pics Anna! Your bump is so cute

 

[MrsChezek]

Wow anna!!!
You totally look pregnant and awesome. I love it


I too am 29 weeks today so that is exciting and I survived the GTT this morning Forgot to ask when I'd get the results but the nurse is good about calling so I'm sure I'll get them as soon as they are in her hands. With Christmas next week, I doubt I'll know anything before end of next week. I could not sleep half the night - I was tossing and turning with stressing over the test; I was worried about sleeping through my alarm and remembering not to eat and to drink the thing at the right time...I worked myself into pretty much an anxiety attack, had to wake DH up and it took him 45 min to calm me down How crazy is that??? Over the stinkin' GTT...these hormones are really messing with my sanity these days...

Here is my pic I took on Tuesday night and just finally got to upload - I hate that I can't upload pics on here from my iPhone directly!!! I'm hardly on here on my desktop. I'll attach a front shot too as I think my bump looks cuter from the front

Cute bumps everyone!

I passed my GD test with a 118 (yay!), but they found out Im anemic again. I was with my son, so I know the drill, its just disappointing. I hate taking those iron pills and the risks at delivery arent the best.... It does explain why Ive been feeling the way I do though, I should have suspected it.

I also caught the really bad cold my kids had all last week. Without my precious Dayquil/Nyquil I feel like Im on my deathbed

Good news is baby girl (who's still nameless) is finally head down!! (cant remember if I told you ladies yet) So Im super excited about that. She was weighing around 3 pounds at my 28 week sono and looking perfect!!

Happy Holidays March Mommies!

Well bugger, I failed the GTT and therefore have gestational diabetes. Have to go to the clinic at 1pm to see the midwife. Bit gloomy at the bad timing

oh no! i only just passed mine. do u know what your reading was? my blood sugar level was 7.4 cut off is 7.8.

 

[baby_maybe]

Sorry to hear that Krafty, hopefully you can keep it controlled by diet rather than needing insulin. My mum had GD with all of us and managed it with diet, she was so healthy by the time we all arrived!

kraftykoala sorry you didn't pass the test but at least it's been picked up and things can be sorted.

I'm intrigued about what mine will be, I hope I pass because whenever I eat fruit or veg with bubs I bloat and go all crampy. I'm trying to find alternative snacks but can't eat nuts as oh is allergic so we have to be cautious due to his allergy. So it leaves bread sticks and cereal. I'd love fruit etc but its too painful

Krafty, so sorry you failed and sorry for the bad timing.. right before Christmas!!! I hope they can give you lots of information and help you to cope with the changes. Remember, it is typically really well managed, especially since they are catching it now.
