Appointment update

So, I guess I forgot to give the update regarding my doctor's appointment yesterday! I can't imagine why it slipped my mind... Anyways, I had my 26 week check up yesterday. It was the big day for my glucose test. After arriving at the doctors office, I had to drink that really sugary juice and then wait an hour. After the hour was up the nurse drew my blood. If anything should be abnormal with the test the doctors office will call me. I'm not expecting a call but we'll see. While I was waiting I saw my doctor, weighed in and had my blood pressure checked. It's hard to believe that I've almost doubled my whole pregnancy weight gain in 4 weeks! I gained 8 pounds in 4 weeks; bringing my total weight gain to 19 pounds! At the rate I'm going, this could be the last weight gain update I put on the website! I wouldn't want to embarass myself anymore! The baby's heartbeat sounded great and when my doctor asked me if she was moving, I informed him that she is constantly moving! He ended up giving me a prescription because I still have this cold/allergy thing going on. I also asked him if it was normal that my belly button should hurt when pushed back into where it's supposed to be. When it gets pushed back in it hurts! He informed me that I do in fact have a little hernia but it should be nothing to worry about. It should go down on it's own after the baby is born. Guess what that means for Austin? He's got to start walking like a big boy all the time. I'm not going to be able to pick him up anymore and picking him up all the time could be the culprit of the hernia! But anyways, I go back in 2 weeks. I can't believe that it's already time to start going every 2 weeks, that just means that I'm getting closer and closer to my due date!


One more thing...how come my child likes to sleep in on the days we have to get up in the morning and not on the weekends? In the picture below he woke up at 5 am but then crawled into bed with me (because Daddy's not home and can get away with it) and slept until I had to wake him up to get dressed for school. I hate waking him up too because he's such a bear if he's awoken from his slumber! Not to mention the fact that he just looks so darn cute when he's sleeping!
