sugar, sugar!


What did you eat for breakfast? I ate a PB twix and a strawberry lemonade. MMM the breakfast of champions. I had my gestational diabetes check done today. And despite my over-consumption of sugar over the past 28ish weeks, I passed! My sugar was 103 and the goal is for it to be under 140. Even for my sweet tooth it was hard to eat stuff like that for breakfast.


The visit was pretty quick. Mostly because the ultrasound machine had a power surge and we had to use another doctors room. Baby is hiding in the shadows of my uterus/placenta so I don't have any new pictures of the baby. You just get to see him from the outside. The video looks like he was trying to put his fist in his mouth though. That's my boy!

He is head down and feet are right in my ribs. That explains why I can't breathe. He weighs 2 lbs and 7 oz. I am 36 inches around my belly button and 1lb below my weight I was at this point with Jayben. Funny thing, I am totally following the same curve I did with Jayben even though my diet and exercise habits have been different.

MMMM sounds good. I loved eating my snickers and OJ for my test. Glad you passed. Your belly is looking cute.

im glad you passed, though we figured you'd be fine! I'll have to try that twix, cause as we all know, i LOVE chocolate!!

Isn't awesome to get to eat stuff like that because you HAVE to?! I loved it! Glad you passed the test, and you are looking very cute even though you might not feel it (I know I never felt cute even when people would tell me I looked cute.)

"the ultrasound machine had a power surge"

That doesn't sound dangerous or anything. I'm sure your little guy doesn't mind getting "baby tazed" every now and again.

Your breakfast sounds delicious. Although next time try adding some protein to balance out your nutrient intake. You know, a McDouble cheeseburger or something. THAT would be the ultimate breakfast.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and just remember to keep on breathing... even with a little dude setting up camp in your rib cage.

Seriously, 28 weeks and your still tiny! You look great! I don't blame you...I have been baking sweets like crazy, its all I want to eat!!! Nothing else sounds good!

Seriously it has to be a Whitesides thing for the babies to suck on their fists! Cannon was doing it in every ultrasound and he STILL does it! They are definitly cousins! :)

You look way good! Can't wait to meet the cute little guy.

Dang you. Dang you. That's all I have to say. I'm tired of "you people" who get pregnant and don't gain any weight. Someone needs to gain 70 pounds so that I have one shred of self esteem left. You look awesome!

Oh Zach is actually Amy P. Probably important for you to know that.
