I had my diabetes test this week and it
came back normal. Big relief. I really wasn't that worried I would
have a problem, but I really fear that long 3.5 hour test! Lots of
people have to take it that don't have gestational diabetes. One hour
was long enough to walk around, keeping Brady entertained, on no
caffeine! Momma needs her morning coffee! Even Brady knows when we
pull in a Starbucks parking lot. He yells, “Coffee!!” Which is
exactly where we went after my appointment ;) I feel like I should
leave a disclaimer: I only drink two small cups each morning and then
about 100-120 oz of water the rest of the day. This keeps my bladder
happy and keeps me from swelling! I'm very pleased :) I had already
reached the point of not being able to wear my wedding rings by
probably 24 weeks pregnant with Brady.. Not so good! They still fit perfectly right now.
I've gained 22 lbs now. All I can do is
compare my pregnancy to my other pregnancy. Nothing else! And I'm
doing WAY better. I walk 4-6 miles on the treadmill each week. I mark
it on the calender so I'm accountable. I drink tons of water. I watch
my sodium and fat intake. No fast food! Those things are working for
me. I compare pics each week to my pregnancy with Brady. BIG
difference. Don't try to look for them on facebook.. they're private
now ;) For good reason!
Brady and I are getting ready for his
Preschool at our church to start on Tuesday. I'm so excited for him!
I can't stop thinking about it and reading, ahem, rereading through
all the paperwork. We met his teachers yesterday (they're great!) and
saw his classroom (adorable!). It's the same room he is in for Sunday
school. That helped A LOT! As soon as we walked in, he was down and
playing with all the toys and totally comfortable. Ms. Lisa is also
his Sunday school teacher! The routine of that will surely help us
get used to things. Eric gets to come with us to drop Brady off on Tuesday morning! I'm so glad!
Brady and I are best buds and always
together. It will be a huge adjustement for the both of us. They have
a schedule they stick to every day and a new curriculum each month.
So he will learn a lot, make new friends, and get used to listening
to other adults and getting along with other kids when I'm not there.
I get anxiety thinking about it, but I know he will be better for it!
That's what matters. I don't wanna be a clingy mom! I trust our
church and the teachers completely. That's a must!
There's also the bonus that I can now
run errands, make doctor appointments, grocery shop, clean, and sleep
on Tuesdays and Thursdays by.my.self! I don't remember what that's
like!? I plan on making the most of the time before Levi gets here
and then of course, I'll have 2 days a week with just Levi. That
should help me transition to Mommy of 2 and keep Brady from being
resentful that he's all cooped up because of the baby.
I'm planning out Levi's newborn
pictures, which is so much fun! I didn't really plan much with Brady,
I just let Melissa do her thing. This time, I know we've got to use
Eric's cammies and blues. Do a few cute things since it's Christmas
time and use Sugar :) It'll be fun for sure!
