Friday: 27 week OB appt

Today was my 27 week OB appointment. A few different things happened today...

*I had my gestational diabetes test. I passed having to do the full test, but just barely. However, this is apparently a pass/fail thing, so I don't need to worry about what I'm eating.

*My belly was measured. It measured right around 27 weeks. I'm wondering if the measuring tape is a special scale or if 27cm =27 weeks. Anyway, I'm just the right size.

*I might be getting a bladder infection. I feel fine, but apparently my urine was high in nitrates. I'm supposed to drink a lot of water. And I got a prescription in case I need it.

*The kiddo was moving all around (probably due to the sugar drink I drank for the test) and had a heartbeat of 162.

Thursday:apple

The cortland apples that we picked less than 2 weeks ago seem to have gone bad. It was a sad day, since I was looking forward to it in my lunch this afternoon. They were so good in the orchard, but even after a week they weren't as good.

Hopefully the other kind will stay good enough for me to make applesauce this weekend.

Wednesday: hi

Hi. We went to a new (to us) restaurant with all the parents tonight. It was fun.

I'm tired. Good night.

Tuesday: ham and squash

Today was the chosen day for our yearly ham and squash meal. I don't know why we only do it once a year; it is delicious. And I seem to take a picture of it every year, so I did this year too.

The biggest difference with the meal this year is apparently I look a little bit like a butternut squash. At least I don't look like an acorn squash. :)

Sunday: picture

Jamie took this nice picture of me on Monday. I'll admit, I feel more awkward than I look. So I don't know if I'm playing it up or what. Oh well.

Saturday: Flurry

Today Flurry got a little spoiled. She often gets spoiled.

Beyond the normal spoilage, Ben got my lunch ready so that I wouldn't have to move so that Flurry, sitting next to me, wouldn't have to move.

And this picture is from a few days ago when she decided to sit in the chair with me. I'm not sure she's ever done that before. It didn't last very long, but long enough to get a picture.

Friday: rain

Today I went for a walk with the added bonus of doing an errand. (For some reason, NY thinks it needs its license plates back.). When I left, it was beautiful, sunny day. When I stepped out of the store ten minutes later, I felt two raindrops. The sky didnt look like a rain sky, so I continued on my way, hurrying as much as I could.

A block from home it started to rain harder. I took refuge under a tree, and debated whether I should continue walking because under the tree would soon be wet or if I should wait. Then the sun came out and the rain let up slightly, so I continued.

There is a good chance this is a "you had to be there" story.
