Well I had an awesome Christmas break so far! It started with a beautiful shower at my Aunt Faye's with family, friends, and co-workers and finished with family time in Jacksonville. It was great catching up with Branden and Jason, who are also expecting a baby soon! JF and I also took our last babyless vacation we will probably ever take before we retire haha. We spent 2 days in Atlanta and were able to spend a day with Courtneah and Carlos! Now that we are back home, the day has been spent putting away Christmas stuff.
I had a regular appointment today with my OB where I found out I gained almost 5 lbs in 2 weeks! Although I was shocked and in awe, the doctor didn't seem too worried and said it was normal. She said although a few pounds might be from the holiday, weight gain towards the end is normal. It helps that I had only gained, up to this point 5 lbs total in my pregnancy. She also made me feel better about flunking my glucose test a few weeks ago. She said that it was very common for women who have been diagnosed with PCOS to have gestational diabetes. Plus I will have ultra sounds every 4 weeks to verify Lily isn't getting too big.
I told her, although normal I am getting extremely uncomfortable and feel like I am breathing and moving like I weigh 400 lbs! She said another reason why I will be going in every 2 weeks already is to monitor I am not dilating too early because Lily is having less and less room in there. I quickly agreed on that considering I used to see little kicks on my belly where it was raised and moving around. Now I feel like the loch ness monster is in there rolling around haha. I see this wave of movement. It even freaked the guy out sitting next to me in the waiting room today at the OB. He was apparently there with his girlfriend who just found out she was pregnant. Too bad JF wasn't there to give him some pointers on how to verify she doesn't try to kill him during the pregnancy ;)
Overall, I would say I am still doing great. I can definitely say I have never wanted something so badly, which is to have Lily here so I can hold her...and to take back control of my body! I need to get started on my "thank you" cards for the shower, but I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!!
