Week 28.5

Whoa nelly what a week and a half!!! I found out the results of my glucose test and I'm definitely not diabetic. In fact, the doctor told me that after drinking the glucose my blood sugar tanked and she's surprised I didn't pass out. So, hypoglycemia is my diagnosis and the cure involves keeping peanut butter crackers in my purse and rest. I'm actually very thankful to have found this out because I would get these crazy bouts of dizziness and my heart would race but honestly I thought I was just having minor panic attacks. Boy, was I wrong! Turns out my blood sugar tanks and my body freaks. That whole eating often thing is no joke. I've never been one to eat all three meals but now I'm eating like 8 smaller meals a day. Like I said, those peanut butter crackers are life savers.

In other news, I started my new job last Sunday! I'm working part time at the Disney Store and so far it has been quite the adventure! I used to be able to spend 8+ hours on my feet no problem but after a 4 hours shift I am exhausted! I came home today, changed clothes, and laid down for what I thought would be a short nap... I woke up 3 hours later (3 hours!!!) feeling sick at my stomach because (big surprise) I was staaaaarving! I downed a few wheat thins and then Luke called and he talked me into ordering some pizza! Walking down the stairs and cooking just seemed like too daunting of a task, haha. Poor boy though, he's still on this diet so he can't eat any food but he still ordered my pizza, paid for it and brought it to me in bed. How did I get so lucky?

I've also been blessed to find some extra work I can do at home through a friend from church. Basically I help her get in touch with lawyers about recent cases they have won so the information can be published. It has been such a great job for me so far and I can't wait to get more involved! This was definitely an answer to prayer since I can continue doing this even after Amelia is born!

Sweet baby girl is still growing like a weed! Here's a comparison from week 23ish to 25ish to 27ish... Yeah, I should probably keep better track of that, haha. Sometimes I find that I'm less anxious about her upcoming arrival if I don't remind myself everyday how far away it is. This Wednesday will be 29 weeks. Whoa. It seems like July 20th is so far away yet every week seems to be going by faster and faster. Keeping busy has certainly helped with that!

Little one's nursery is coming together quickly! I'll be posting some pictures soon, I know you all can't wait to see the massive amounts of cuteness that is quickly overtaking our house ;) Oh! And we finally got the rest of our cloth diaper stash in! So now we should be all set diaper wise for her arrival, pictures soon!
