Week 27

So far week 27 isn't going so well. I caught the office funk last week, can't stop coughing and now Jared is achy and has a fever. I'm sure the baby loves me hacking up my lungs all night long. I'm very lucky that I can work from home & everyone at the office is very supportive of me getting healthy - and fast! Jared, however, went to work even though I told him to stay home.

Yesterday was my 27 week check up and glucose test. I had to drink 5oz of super sweet fruit punch then while I had to wait for 1 hour for the drink to take effect, I saw the doctor. Since Dr. Thatcher works with other folks there & whomever is on call delivers you, yesterday started the meet & greet of other doctors at the practice. They did the belly measurement & said I was measuring 26 weeks, my weight gain was on track and he had to try a few times to get her heartbeat. Every time he put the wand on my belly, she'd move away. She was not interested in cooperating! After I saw the doctor, I had to wait a bit longer then they took my blood. They'll call with the results in a few days.

Gracie is an active baby! She likes to move around and kick/punch me. Jared is still calling her The Little Gremlin. He says she's going to be a soccer player. I said she'll be a cheerleader!

The REALLY funny thing happened when I was leaving. Well, not that funny. After JUST being told that I'm on track & measuring nicely, some woman sitting near the door says "Aren't you cute!?! You look like you're going to pop any second!" Now, you're thinking this had to be an old lady right? Maybe someone that doesn't have kids? Nope! Calmly I turned and said, "Yeah, in about 13 weeks." She continued to tell me that she's 30 weeks and not as big as I am. I wanted to say - "Well, that's because you gained weight all over your body & you're bigger than me to begin with. You just hide it better." Instead, I politely said "I gained all of my weight in my belly. Good luck!"

Oh then it gets better. As I walked from the parking garage into my office some crazy homeless man decides to yell "Hey baby momma!" as he tried to catch up to me to ask for money. What is with people?!?!

So, needless to say Monday was interesting. Hopefully the rest of the week will get better!
