So, I had an OB appointment for my 29-week check-up yesterday (HOLLA girls who work at the OB office and read this blog!) It was the momentous occasion on which I got to down that lovely bottle of “glucola” – you know – fruit-flavored syrup. MMM good. Let me tell you, you have not lived until you’ve chugged glucola (Must! drink! all! in! five! minutes!) in the parking lot of your kid’s preschool. I swear, other moms dropping off your kids, it was JUST glucola (despite the large tumbler and straw)!
Anyhoo, so I drank the glucola, didn’t barf, and got my blood taken. But before they took my blood, they took my SOUL. By making me step on the SCALE!
Let’s just say, I’ve gained about a pound a week. Although I do FEEL ginormous, I don’t feel like I LOOK that ginormous. Am I just in denial? I’m gonna go with “probably.” Sigh.
I gained about 40 with my other two kids and I’m hoping to keep it at about that with Jonah. Because I? HATE EXERCISE. And that is the only way I can take off the baby weight. But I’m not exactly Marathon Jones like SOME PEOPLE. So, the less I have to take off the better.
But anyhoo, my next appointment is in two weeks. I’m on the two-week schedule! Which means the clock is winding down on this thing! It’s really happening, and despite my rotund appearance, I feel less than prepared!
YAY!!! I have really been hoping for a belly shot and finally got it. Seriously I am a stalker huh?? Super cute belly!
You look gorgeous! Seriously!
You are one brave woman, putting stripes on at this stage of pregnancy! LOL. It’s a lovely belly. 🙂
Good to see you on the down swing of things. I have heard tell that larger black strips (you know like prisoners wear) are more slimming.
You are adorable and so is Jonah.
I think you look great! I’m 31 weeks and was happy I passed the 1 hour glucose test. I didn’t think the drink was AS BAD as they say…certainly not the best though! Stepping on the scale is always a tough part!
I don’t know what they gave me (all those years ago) when I was pregnant with The Chicken but it was orange and gross and I couldn’t even finish it all.
I can’t believe you are already hitting your last trimester…where has the time gone?
On my first pregnancy I FAILED the first glucose test. Had to come back and take a more advanced test that included drinking multiple doses of that orange stuff for FOUR HOURS. It was hell and I can’t believe I didn’t lose it in the waiting room.
Oh Jenny, you are the cutest pregnant person I know!
You look great!! Give your belly a rub for me!! XOXO
so cute. 🙂 i love the title of this post. why ARE so many maternity shirts striped? what’s up with that? I realized at my last appt that I couldn’t see past my belly to see the number on the scale anymore without leaning over. I thought for a split second that I should take that as a hint not to look, but I decided to look and obsess anyways.
I’m one of the gals at the OB office – Thanks for the “HOLLA”!!! I think you look GREAT!!! (And healthy – that’s what’s important!) :o)
I must be the only person who didn’t think the orange stuff was a big deal. I don’t care for orange soda, so it’s not that. The portion didn’t seem so large, and I just wanted to be done with the appt. already – four times for four children. What drove me bonkers was WAITING. You mean I’ve gotta SIT here with that blasted TV running and all these awful magazines for how long?! These days when I have to wait, I have my trusty bag-o-coupons to keep me company – sorting, tossing out old ones – the time goes by and I can tune out everything. Wish I had started this years ago!!
Stripes around!!!
I have a new Fashion Friday topic…thanks!!
UP
Seriously!? You look wonderful at 29 weeks!
