Sugar, sugar, sugar (and it's inevitable downsides)

Well today baby B and I had our glucose test. Don't know the results yet but it wasn't very pleasant. Basically you have to not eat for 12 hours, (which is pregnant lady time is like 3 days,) drink this orange sugar drink and then wait another hour and have blood taken. So far it seems the after affects are similar to a hangover, except without the fun that usually precedes one.

After that we had our monthly check-up. Everything looks great, and Joe surprised us by coming in when we were hearing Baby B's heartbeat. My belly is measuring at exactly 26 cm, which correlates to the amount of weeks I am along. The appointments are usually boring, which I guess is a good thing but it's always nice to hear Baby's heartbeat.

We got the floor down in the nursery this weekend and it looks great, unfortunately we discovered some molding issues with the outside of the house but that's a whole different story. Basically what it means is that I can't put the crib up or start decorating :(

At first I was exercising a bunch, and I still am trying to get some walks and yoga in but I've come to a few conclusions....

1. I'm too freaking tired most of the time to exercise
2. I will completely tweak out if I see myself in spandex.
3. I am going to get fat anyways.
4. I am so clumsy that I will probably trip and fall on my belly.

And my rationalization of being lazy is done.
