One hour glucose test

On Saturday I took my glucose test. I spent the whole entire week stressing out over it. I heard it was oh so nasty, thick and just all around gross so I wasn't looking forward to it.... At all!  I made my appointment for first thing saturday morning I figured i'd get it out of the way and I'd be fine. 

I decided to go with the lemon/lime flavor because my sister told me the orange was really disgusting. So at 8:15 am I got out of the bed and chugged this nastiness down. It actually wasn't THAT bad. It tasted like flat sprite on my first gulp. After that first gulp however I started gagging, but I made sure I kept it down because I was told if I threw it up I'd have to do it again. I quickly finished it up, showered, got dressed and off to the Dr.'s office I went.  They drew 2 vials of blood and now I wait..... I'm praying I pass this test because I do NOT want to take the 3 hour test! Pray for me.

Preggo Rant #2

Soooooooooooo... After seeing my OB for the last four months I had an appointment today. I arrived to my my appointment about 30 mins early and since no one was sitting at the front desk I patiently sat and waited. After a while a nurse came out and asked if I was being helped. I told her I was waiting for quite some time and the keeper of the the front desk was no where to be found so she said she'd help me. She asked for my insurance card so I handed it to her. She looks at it and say's "Umm Dr. XYZ doesn't take this insurance" I'm sorry what? (I have one of the MOST popular that exists) I've been seeing HIM for years as my gyn and once a month for the past 4 months what do you mean? (Then this moron then has the nerve to mention something about a copay. Uhh how in the hell do I have a copay if he doesn't even take my insurance genius?) She goes in the back to "double check" then they she comes back out and goes nope he doesn't take your insurance, you can't be seen today. After an agressive one sided conversation (lol) I snatched my card and walked home pissed off and in tears! Now at 4 months I have to start all over from scratch! I'm beyond pissed! How do you not realize this until 4 months in? Now I have no idea when I'll learn the gender, (I was 11 days away from finding out) who my doctor will be, where I'll deliver.... NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHH! Needless to say I'm pissed!! Figured I'd vent on here rather than internalize. Good night all.

Newborn portraits

I've never been to fond of the cheezy hospital pictures or any newborn pictures for that matter however I came across these and I think they are sooo adorable! 

I'm definitely getting something similar done about a month or so after the baby arrives/ What do we think? Yay? Nay?

16 week Belly shot

I guess I should do one of these every 2 weeks as I think a weekly belly shot is pointless unless something REALLY changes.

week 16

Maternity clothes

Any idea where I can get some cute maternity clothes?? Or is that an oxymoron? I've been lookin around on the internet, all the stores and everything is so old lady looking. Nothing trendy and cute, but I know I've seen tons of pregnant women looking adorable. Are they still wearing their regular clothes? C'mon ppl help me out here!!!

Decision to become a mother

Being a Mom was always something I wanted to be, however, it was the furthest thing from my mind at this point in my life. I love being able to sleep till 1, spend frivously, blink and decide I'm going on some random vacation, party & drink till I'm belligerent etc. The thought of being responsible for a life other than my own is probably one of the scariest and most intimidating thoughts one will ever have, and although 9 out of 10 of my friends have kids, it was never something I envied. I envied their Gucci and Louis bags more lol.
