First of all, I wanted to extend a huge thank you to all of you for the kindest comments/tweets/emails I received on Saturday’s post. It was a very difficult day, as it always will be, but I’m so blessed to have incredible friends like all of you to cheer me up a bit and let me know you were thinking of me. You have no idea how much that means to me. <3
Now on to the bump update.
I passed my glucose tolerance test with flying colors! YAY! :) Now, I wasn’t actually thinking I had gestational diabetes or anything, but I’m still a bit of a worrywart/ hypochondriac and thus it was a relief to just know for sure, you know? To celebrate, Zack and I had lots of sweets that night, duh. Also the doctor’s office had candy out for V Day, and you’d best believe I stowed a handful away into my purse.
Another cool thing, the doctor said that my iron levels are better than most people who aren’t even pregnant, so that was nice to hear. No anemia for me, woo hoo!
The nursery is coming along great. We headed to Ikea this weekend (on Saturday actually, as a distraction) and picked up a shelf and some picture frames and drawer organizers. We also cleared out the nursery and it’s ready to be decorated, yay! :) I even made a little DIY print that I framed that I’m pretty proud of. Full nursery details/tour to come when it’s all done!
This baby is constantly doing acrobatics in my stomach, and it’s the most entertaining thing ever. Except for when he decides to start his tumbling at ungodly hours of the night/morning. Just getting me ready, right? ;)

sounds like you and baby are in wonderful shape!! this is so great to hear!!
Aw thanks Helene!! :) We are!
xo
Yay for passing the sugar test!!!! Ahahaha I’m the same way when I see a candy dish. Grab a little as I go in, and grab a handfull when I leave…They’ll never notice….
Right?! I mean, there’s a reason they put it out there, so we can take it! Also, we had to wait an hour to see the doctor, so I definitely deserved all of the candy. ;)

Yay that’s awesome you and baby are doing great! :) be thankful for no anemia! I’m anemic without being pregnant, so while I was pregnant it was bad and it sucked lol.
Can not wait to see the nursery!
Xoxo
Aww thanks girl!! :) Yeah, I can imagine that would be even more difficult while pregnant! You’ve got yourself a little cutie though, so all’s well that ends well! ;)
xo
You are the cutest little thing ever!
Aww thanks sweet girl!! <3

Yay for not having to give up the sweets! And for an active little man!
Yes!! Yay for it all! I don’t know how I would have survived without my sweets! ;)
xo
So exciting! Can’t wait to see the nursery when it’s done. :)
I know, I’m having fun with decorating :) Now if only we had endless funds… ;)

You are definitely glowing! :-) I have my glucose test in a couple weeks and I’m praying to pass too. Can’t give up that sugar!
Ahhh I’ll be praying for you to pass with flying colors, as well!! :)

You look fabulous!! And I think the glucose test was probably the worst part of being pregnant! Maybe a slight exaggeration, but still.
Love IKEA, so excited for you guys to finish the nursery!
Ha! Agreed. That glucose test was not fun. Blech.
