29 Weeks!

I had my one hour glucose test yesterday...I still do not understand why women complain about this. If you have one in your future and there are options for flavors, go for the lemon lime (the fruit punch and orange are very sweet) and chug it! For those of you who do not know what this is...you are given a drink, you wait for an hour, then they test your blood to see if you have gestational diabetes. I passed! My belly is measuring a little small-at 27 1/2 weeks, but it is similar to my measurements with Delaney. I have now gained 10 pounds, I swear it is all in my boobs! I am posting a new belly picture today, but seriously how big are the boobs going to get? I am currently a 34 I/J (yes it is possible) and when the breastfeeding starts, it will only be worse. That is my top complaint, mostly because of the weight which is now causing my spine to curve (lovely!) This happened during my pregnancy with Delaney as well. Thankfully this will be my last pregnancy and two years from now the boobs will be an ancient memory. That's right, I will be getting a breast reduction as soon as my doctor gives the okay! (Sorry for ranting...) His heart beat was a high 146 this time! My doctor gave me strict orders to slow down on the exercising. I have starting getting contractions while on the treadmill, so I was told to minimize my exercises from 40 minutes to 20 minutes. I asked if this extended to house cleaning since I get contractions then too, he said yes, but would not write a prescription to have a maid come and clean my house. Boo! But I obviously would rather have the baby stay in for as long as he needs versus delivering early, so I will listen. This is a big week for our family! Tuesday was Delaney's last music class for the summer (her recital is Tuesday, May 22nd-I will post pictures/video), today is her last ballet and tap class (rehearsal is tomorrow evening/recital on Saturday), and then on Sunday we leave for Disneyland! We are all so excited to go! Next Saturday is also my 30th birthday (and Curt Lake's birthday)--no Allison, I still have not decided how we should celebrate! Hope you have enjoyed! I will post pictures from the recital and Disneyland shortly...
