And then there was one...
30 Weeks, and I think I just found one stretch mark on the left hip/belly. I am praying it is a sleep line from last night but I am not so hopeful.
Where there is one, there will be more.
Devastated.
On a good note, I do not have gestational diabetes! I did however fail one of the four tests, the 1 hr post nasty drink only to get 188 and 180 was the high end of normal. So I have to have a "counselling" session on exercise and proper foods. I already know I have been a lazy sack of potatoes this pregnancy, so I am going to really start swimming now.

Pre-natal Yoga rocks my world
I just wanna say, Pre-natal yoga is amazing.
One, everyone is pregnant and at different stages so the energy in the room is great. It was so crowded today, more people then I have ever seen. Maybe 15 women! Man, 2010 is going to be a huge baby boom.
Two, the teacher is a hypnobirthing instructor and I am going to take her class in May. I can't wait. This woman is amazing and I wish she could be my doula. At a rate of $1200-$1600 she has got to be good, but she in not taking any 1st time mothers. I guess we are a pain in the ass. Check out her site: One Moon I don't know if it is her voice, her energy, whatever, it works. So calming and me being one that was all for drug induced labor, I am not even thinking that any more. Don't get me wrong, I am still scared shitless. I am working on my affirmations now to get rid of the fear of birthing that everyone has put in women's heads for so many years.
Three, I really wish I could go more than once a week, but I guess the JCCSF thinks that preggo women don't work and all the classes are at 10 am during the week. Too bad I don't live in one of the Pac Heights mansions, with some socialite from SF who pulls in $10,000/day doing whatever.
Four, Mr. Cooper loves it. He moves around a ton.
Five, it has made me listen to my body. I used to always push myself, and too hard I think, hence the 2 bulging discs. If it hurts, DON'T DO IT!
Unfortunately my indigestion/acid reflux almost made me throw up and I burped so loud I had to apologize. Jeez.....
Ok, I have my 3 hr fast gestational diabetes test tomorrow at 7 am. Wish me freaking luck! I can't eat past 7 pm tonight, so I may stuff the face, cause I was up at 4 am last night and had to eat cottage cheese and half and apple. I hope that doesn't happen tonight, how painful to be starving, the baby is obviously hungry and you can't eat!

29th Week!
Woo hoo, as I write you, only 74 days to go till my due date.
Mr. Cooper, AKA, Joshua, Mason, Darian, Roderick, gosh, there are so many aliases that I don't know what to do, is super super active and kicks all day long now.
I have been receiving gifts all week from people and it is so nice! I can't believe this is actually happening. Thanks all for the gifts if you have sent one! I got some bath stuff from (K and L) and I just wanted to open and use it cause I love the smell of J&J baby shampoo! :)
Went to (J) birthday party on Saturday and it was a place where you can paint pottery and it was tons of fun! I made the little one his first piggy bank. I am so a mom already! Once I pick it up I will put a pic up!
I will try to write more cause it seems like people are actually still reading it!!

San Diego Baby shower that shook the earth
So the neices threw me a baby shower last weekend, and we had a blast! I got tons of clothes and some toys.
After the fun Easter festivities there was a pretty large Earthquake centered in mexicali, Mexico, a 7.2, and me and my sister (R) freaked out! I am glad that I finally felt a real one!!! Even aftershocks at 4 am the next morning, I was awake cause Mr. baby was kickin!

28 weeks.
28 weeks, and had my appointment today....
1) Gained 6 freaking pounds in 1 month. In the first 24 weeks, I gained 10 lbs, and these last 4, 6 FREAKING LBS!!!! So guess what, NO MORE ICE CREAM. Sorry little guy, the nazi mom has emerged.
2) Got my Rogam Shot. Not too bad.
3) I got 157 on my gestational diabetes screen which is 17 higher than the high end of normal range. Therefore I need to do the fasting test now with 3 hourly blood drawls. Doc said not to worry too much, I may be fine since the next text is more accurate. I am blaming it on the month long binge of girl scout cookies and ice cream. Another reason why 1/2 teaspoon of Nutella is my sweet fix from now on.
