27 weeks

Well, I failed my one hour glucose test. By a lot. That was super depressing. I am doing the three hour test today, but I'm hopeful that I'll pass it. I just will be really surprised if I have gestational diabetes. If I do I will do what I need too in order to make sure baby E is healthy, but it isn't going to be easy with the holidays here. Hopefully it won't matter though. I'm still going to enjoy thanksgiving either way because I've been way too excited about that to not.

How far along? 27 weeks
Total weight gain/loss:  no change yet, this is part of the reason I just really struggle to believe I have GD.
Maternity clothes?  getting more and more necessary. I can still wear my work pants but if i sit for too long I start to struggle breathing.
Stretch marks?  no new ones.
Sleep:  waking up at least once a night to go to the bathroom and feeling much less rested when I wake up. Colton says I'm tossing and turning a lot more.
Best moment this week: this week has been rough. I'm not really sure what the best part would be. Having food and spending time with my family I guess.  also, I just remembered, Elli has been so lovey with the baby lately. She is always asking to hug her and talking to her and it's adorable.
Miss anything? My right hand and left thigh not being numb and tingly all the time.
Movement: not as much as previously. I think her position must have changed quite a bit from where it was.
Food cravings: I made jalapeno poppers on Sunday and now that's all I want!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  I've actually been feeling pretty good overall this week. Other than that one hour glucose test. That made me wish I was dead.
Have you started to show yet: I'm hoping people can tell I'm pregnant and don't just think I'm getting a huge gut, but I definitely have a bump happening.
Gender: pink.
Labor signs: nothing yet. I'm really hoping to be pregnant for 13 more weeks without worrying about it.
Bell button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? Sadly off. I now can't even get it fully into my finger.
Happy or moody most of the time: I'm more tired this week, which makes me more moody, but overall I'm generally happy.
Looking forward to:  Thanksgiving! I can't even tell you how excited I am for tasty food. I gained the most weight with Elli over the week of thanksgiving so I guess we'll see if that repeats itself.
