good news.. i am not a fatty! 

at least that is what my OBGYN says.. in fact she says i am UNDERweight. ha.. take that sucka! she is not concerned one bit that i gained a lot of weight this last month.. she believes what i suspected, i probably gained muscle weight along with my normal fat gain and baby gain that is part of pregnancy.. (anyone who has been to Europe KNOWS you do a lot of walking and stair climbing). she said, "even if you gain a pound a week for the rest of your pregnancy.. which is your goal.. you would still be 'underweight' by the time the baby came.. you have only gained 16lbs since you got pregnant and you are more than half way done with your pregnancy" of course not by much.. maybe two pounds underweight.. but it was a relief to hear that i am not some big fatty who is gaining like a cow or something.. i swear i don't eat that much.. i eat when i am hungry and eat pretty balanced with a few chocolate or candy bits here and there.. i never eat fried food or fast food for that matter.. i drink mostly water and milk, no soda's. so i have no idea where the weight could have come from..  honestly, i don't care as long as i am healthy for ashton.. if my gestational diabetes test comes back negative, then i won't worry so much..

the glucose drink tasted like a super sweet fruit punch.. i am still skeptic on whether i passed or not.. hopefully so.. lol.. because i loooove sweets! it wouldn't shock me one bit if i failed.. my blood pressure is normal and ashton's heart rate today was 147bpm. i love ashton so much! i seriously can not wait for him to be here.. i tear up when i think about him.. how thankful i am to at least be at this part of my pregnancy.. so far pregnancy has been easy for me.. i really enjoy being pregnant.. i am sure that is going to change towards the end of the trimester but right now i really reallylove being pregnant! braxton hicks have started..  

i had way more energy yesterday. i was able to get some things done.. not much but some.. lol.. i even cooked dinner and did laundry! i was out like a light bulb before 10pm though.. my goal today is to finish the walk-in closet.. doesn't sound like there could be a lot to do in a walk-in closet but there is.. i want to get ashtons shelving sometime soon (if not today) so i can start putting up his stuff instead of it sitting on the floor in a overflowing bag.. i was going to get elfa storage.. but after visiting 'the container store' sunday (i could spend all my money there btw) and seeing what other options i have.. i might get a cheaper set of shelves.. next week or even maybe starting this weekend i plan getting ebay going.. i have so much junk to sell.. going to start slow.. three to four pieces every few days.. until it's all gone.. that way i won't get burned out and stressed that all my auctions end at once.. i hope it brings in some money.. we could use it for ashton's stuff! the boy can never have too many clothes in my opinion!

a few nights ago david wanted to get a couple packages of diapers and some bottles lol..  we started diaper collecting a while back and boy do we have a lot.. i am sure it isn't even near as much as we are going to need though.. but i think we have a pretty good start in newborn and size one diapers (mostly pampers and huggies supreme).. i researched like a maniac on what type of bottles to get.. i 100% plan on breast feeding and for the first 40days he will be exclusively breast fed.. but david really wants a chance to feed the baby (breast feeding books recommend you wait 40days before introducting pacifiers or bottles to help develop a good strong latch). it's hard finding a bottle that won't cause nipple confusion.. thankfuly after hours of research, playtex naturalatch seems to be our best bet.. the nipple is designed for breast fed babies.. i hope and pray that ashton will take to it without any problems.. only time will tell!
