Other than my whining about intense reflux despite my daily meds and various other discomfort, things are continuing along just fine. The midwife appointment I had on Thursday 2/25 showed our little jelly bean is measuring exactly where she should be - despite how much bigger I look than other people in the same place as me. She said it was just due to the length of your torso, how you're carrying, and baby's position. Weight gain is up 28lbs so far (!!) but they're happy with where I am and said that they like to see people gain between 25-35lbs and that you usually don't gain quite as steadily through the last 4-6 weeks. so that's something I guess. But it sure explains why I'm huffing and puffing when attempting to do anything! The added weight plus decreased lung function is all the explanation I need! I also had my 1hr gestational diabetes test (GD test). So far I haven't heard anything on the results - they said they'd call if there was anything abnormal and expected results on Friday or Monday so hopefully tomorrow goes by without a phone call. I felt like there was more glucola this time than the first one they made me do at my first appointment, but Jeff thinks that I just forgot how much I had to drink that first time. Yick. And it's definitely NOT any better the second time around when you're burping it up. Just fyi. bleh.
Our first shower is coming up quickly as well. While I'm still adding and deleting things from the registry from time to time, both the Amazon and Babies R'Us registries are essentially done. The invites for the first shower have gone out including the registry info. We went shopping for an outfit for the shower as I realized that including this one, I only had 2 more shopping weekends left!
Which brings me to my next rant: maternity dresses. Okay so you see the pictures online of maternity dresses and they look cute. In general, I like dresses so figured it'd be a good way to go. HA! Let me tell you, the two dresses I tried on made me look like a HOUSE! And normally I know my belly's fairly big and am fine with it - but i felt like a grandma in a muumuu or something just because the dress comes up over the bump but then just drops down and keeps going. There's no shaping at the bottom like you get with pants and tops. So needless to say, I'll be wearing pants and a cute, flattering top for my shower. Bonus for not needing to shave anyway, right? :-)
Oh and for anyone that's wondering - belly button is still in! Woo! Looks friggin WEIRD but fingers crossed it can make it the next 3 months.. Only time will tell. :-)
