Baby Bump Weeks 25-27

These weeks were the last of the 2nd trimester! Wow...I'm almost 29 weeks now and it's hard to believe there are only about 11 to go.

Some recent pregnancy things...

- When you are late in your 2nd trimester you have to be screened for gestational diabetes. I failed my screening :( which means that I had to go in to the lab for a 3 hour glucose tolerance test. It's not a fun experience as you have to fast for 12 hours, drink a super sugary drink, and then sit for 3 hours as they take your blood 4 different times. The good news is I passed!

- I'm so thankful I don't have gestational diabetes because I'm craving chocolate, chocolate, and chocolate (although I don't turn down any other sweets like peeps either). I'm calling this a craving but maybe it's just an excuse for my lack of willpower....

- Still running. Is there an animal slower than a snail? I would compare my pace to whatever that is. Still love yoga and hiking too :)

- The nursery is coming along. We had an electrical outlet put in a few days ago and by the time it was in we also had 3 holes in the recently painted walls. Ug. They are in the process of fixing it so I will share soon.

- The baby is moving, moving, moving. It has grown from the size of a poppy seed to a butternut squash (15 inches long head to heel and 2 1/2 pounds). It's hard to believe it's supposed to grow to the size of a small pumpkin by 40 weeks!

Happy Thursday!
