Hey Everyone!

I hope you are having a great day so far. I have been meaning to do a bump-date and time just keeps passing so fast I figured now was a good of time as any.

Right now I am 29 weeks, almost 30! It really is hard to believe that we are getting so close to meeting this baby.

So this might take a post or two to figure out the best way to lay out these bump-dates but for now, here we go!

Current Cravings: Right now I am really craving a can of Sprite, apple fritter donuts and coffee!! Basically, I am craving anything sweet.

Current Ache’s and Pains: Omg! I feel like the past 2 weeks I have developed all sorts of new aches and pains. Specifically, my back is the worst. There are some days that it hurts to walk but I am trying to do some stretches and try to help alleviate that. The heart burn is also very real lately and I find myself getting heartburn after eating almost every meal.

Sleep: Sleep is wonky lately. I struggle with getting up every morning once I am sleeping but falling asleep is relatively difficult lately.

Maternity Clothes: I started out by buying a few key pieces but have had to invest in a few additional pieces because I got the go-ahead to skip the “uniform” at work and just wear my maternity clothing. I am appreciative of that because I was quickly growing out of my polo.

Aversions: Right now aversions seem to come and go. During my first trimester I was against anything with chicken but luckily I have started to enjoy almost all proteins again.

New Updates: I debated on whether or not to post about this but, honesty is always the best policy so… I have gestational diabetes. I was extremely disappointed to hear that information but there is nothing I can do about it aside from follow the doctors orders. It has been a little less than a week since I was diagnosed, so right now I am trying to find out what spikes my blood sugar and what is tolerable. So far, noodles and rice seem to be the biggest culprits but I have been trying to eat as low carb as possible. I MISS cookies! Like, a lot! But I am looking into some different recipes that I can try. I am thankful that I only have about 10 weeks left before this is hopefully a distant memory. If anyone has any tips or tricks that worked for them, they would be much appreciated.

I will be doing another bump-date soon. Anything pregnancy related you are curious about? Be sure to leave a comment!
