Although this is referencing my week... it is also sort of referencing my weight. I had my 30 week checkup today and I gained another large amount in the past month. I weighed in at a hefty 173 pounds which means that I have gained exactly 30 pounds since the beginning and averaging 1 pound per week. This is no bueno! I was hoping to gain more than 35 pounds my entire pregnancy, but I am clearly going to be going over that mark since I have 10 weeks to go and baby Jensen is going to double in size. This week I believe he measures in at just over 3 pounds and about 16 inches long. Today I had to drink the orange sugar drink for my glucose test to check for gestational diabetes. That drink wasn't necessarily as bad as I expected it to be, but it was pretty awful for being 8 AM and that much sugar! I hope to never have to do that again. I should know my results by the end of the week and I hope everything is okay. Diabetes is fairly common during pregnancy, but can cause complications. Other than the hefty weight gain, Dr. B said that I am right on track and no swelling, contractions, and blood pressure is right where it should be. I am now going to start seeing Dr. B twice a month which is just crazy - time is going SO fast!
Last night was SOOO much fun! My mom and I headed downtown after work to see Katy Perry at Energy Solutions. We got down there early, parked right across from the arena and headed to the Gateway for dinner first. My mom treated me to dinner at Thaipoon and that was some good stuff! The best part was dessert! It was friend bananas, vanilla ice cream with caramel and strawberries! YUM! I could eat that all the time (although I don't and shouldn't). When we were done we headed over to get in line and it was about 7:30 then. Right in front of us was Elizabeth Smart and it was awesome to see her in person. She is a remarkable woman and she is absolutely beautiful. The opening band for Katy Perry wasn't very good - it was a woman by the name of Robyn. I hear he is pretty popular, but my mom and I were definitely not fans. It was so loud and the strobe light was going the entire time and she couldn't dance to save her life. Finally just after 9 PM Katy came out and it was well worth the wait! She was amazing! She had such a fun stage that was like a live Candy Land, but even better! Her stairs were super colorful and the handle was done like a candy cane. She had super fun outfits on, including her infamous blue wig. Right at the end she got on a floating cloud (literally) and played her guitar and sang while it was floating to the back of the arena. Best idea ever! My mom and I had great seats and I felt we got to see really well. When the concert was over it already well after 11 and I didn't get home until midnight. I feel asleep around 1 and had to wake up bright and early for my doctors appointment. I am definitely exhausted today, but it was completely worth it!
Not much else going on now. I had my hair done last Saturday by Jenn Kinsey @ work and it is really dark with red in it. I love it and glad to have dark hair again. That night we were supposed to do maternity pictures but the woman was sick so we rescheduled for this Saturday. It worked out since I had a big paper to write on Saturday. School is going well and I got an A and an A- in my last classes. Hopefully I do that well with these classes before I take my break in September.
Every week in August is completely booked between our 1 year anniversary (need to figure out what I am going to get Corey), 2 baby showers, more maternity pictures, Bees game, etc. Life is busy and I love it! August is bound to go by fast and then the next thing I know I will have a month before Jensen gets here. I can't wait to meet my little man!
