Hello end of the 2nd trimester! Wait! Say WHAT?!?! Oh dear goodness, it's getting close!
 |
| 24 weeks (and a few days!) |
I'm still feeling great! I brought out my maternity belt and have been wearing it religiously since it definitely helps keep my posture better and the back pain isn't as bad when I do. The only problem...I really wore it down last pregnancy and the velcro has started to curl on the right side where I close the belt, so it rubs during the day. But it's minor!
I had and failed (again!) my glucose test. I didn't just fail. I failed with flying colors. Apparently the # to get is 135 and I surpassed it with 176. I'd already told my dr. that if I failed the first one, I didn't want to do the 3 hour test and that I'd follow the diet and monitor my blood sugar levels. It's worked great so far and had helped again on the weight gain. In the 2 weeks since I failed I haven't gained any weight (don't worry...baby has b/c I've changed shape again!), which is the reason I like monitoring my blood sugar--it keeps me and my eating in check!
I'm feeling heavier and Riley is definitely a mover! He's so different from Bennett. Bennett would roll around and my belly would make waves. Riley uses my uterus as a punching bag! One night Jeff and I just sat and watched the punches come for a few minutes! I truly can't wait until he's here because I wonder how much the boys will be alike, and pray how they'll be different!
My favorite moment being pregnant and teaching elementary: I had a random kindergartener at Nottingham see me walk by, touch my belly and say "Hey! You have a baby in there!". I looked at her and straight faced said "No, I'm just fat!". Well, I didn't fool her at all because she looked at me and just plainly said, "No, it's a baby!" and kept on walking! All the adults around just laughed! It was a classic kid moment!
