Two weeks ago I took the one hour glucose test and failed it so I had to go due the dreaded 3 hour fasting glucose test. It's horribly awful. You drink 100 milligrams of sugar on a fasting stomach and then get poked times to test you blood glucose levels. Since I was positive for GD with Gwyn I went straight to the 3 hour test with Gabby and passed! I was feeling pretty confident that I'd pass this time and I DID hallelujah! All my numbers came back within range. I'm still keeping a close eye on my carb/sugar intake as I know how that can pack on the pounds for both baby and me. So far I'm up 8 pounds. I was hoping to only gain ten thus whole pregnancy and that's still my goal. I was 10 lbs heavier than I was when I got pregnant with Gabby and I gained 20 lbs with her so I figure that it's only appropriate that I keep my total gain to ten. MUST KEEP COUNTING CALORIES. Ugh. I don't find it easy like other women to loose wait after baby. If anything I find it hard not to gain more weight cause I'm always so hungry. Nursing you only burn 400 calories a day so that's like eating two slices of buttered toast. Hahaha. I did buy myself a vitamix for a birthday present so we've been doing smoothies for breakfast and I've really been liking that. Keeps me full for several hours and I'm feeling good about my nutrient intake :)
Crazy to think it's been 20 years since we said our vows on that stormy rainy day in March. This year we had plans to get a hotel in Lynnwood and galavant around Seattle for a few days. We ended up going to Herb Niemans on our anniversary, then to Boundary Bay for lunch the next day and we finished our anniversary weekend kidless in lynden. Amy & Bri ended up coming up and spending two days with mom. Saturday we left for the dahlia tuber sale then to El Suentio Brewery for lunch, a brisk walk in the cold wind out at birch bay and then a drink @ The Mill and dinner at Nami sushi. Our anniversary was filled with love and togetherness. We are so spoiled.
