I failed my 1 hour glucose tolerance test by 7 points :( So that had me freaked out. But after taking the 3 hour test, I passed with flying colors. Apparently this is very common. Why don't they just skip the 1 hour and make everyone do the 3? Still keeping my daily food journal and keeping active my working, walking the dogs, or cleaning house. I have done SO much laundry getting ready for baby Konrad. And Johann, as always, is so awesome because he does so much around the house. When I got back from my 4-5 hour doctor appointment marathon (appointment + 3 hr GTT), he had cleaned the whole apartment and it looked and smelled so nice. Then we both crash-napped on the couches :P
Feb 24th, I got up to snow, lots of it. Johann put the luggage in my car before he left for work. Then I got my car checked before I hit the road to LaGuardia airport. The drive was great, because no one was on the road due to the snow. My flight was by far the WORST ever. So much rough turbulence, there were people getting sick everywhere. And it was so rough, that they weren't letting people out of their seats to go to the bathrooms unless it was an emergency. So since I couldn't get up and stretch as needed, my feet and legs swelled up like crazy. As I walked off the plane, a stewardess said to me that I was the only pregnant lady on the flight that didn't get sick. Go me! Had it been during my first trimester, forget about it.
Being in Orlando again was great, the weather was gorgeous and it was so good to see everybody. The baby shower was amazing! Liz & David's house= gorgeous! I got to see people I haven't seen since college or the wedding. Food was great, dessert was ridiculous! The gifts and love and support showered on us was overwhelming and humbling. This baby is going to be so loved and spoiled :) Coming home to the cold, and having to go right back into work the next day had me exhausted. But one good thing about the cold, is that it keeps me from swelling up.
March 3rd was the Math department's Semi-Formal. It was fun! The professional photographer they hired didn't show (still not 100% sure why), and Johann brought his camera. So naturally, he ended up being sort of in charge of pictures. I think we clean up nice :) Since then, we have been researching cord blood banking, test driving cars, looking for a new place to live, and making plans to head to Boston this weekend to visit our friends, the Stapletons. This week, we meet a prospective pediatrician and get to see Konrad via 3D sono and video. I'm not gonna lie, I am super psyched to get a closeup shot of his face!
