27 Weeks

Serisously? This is getting SO close! 13 weeks, maybe less, 15 at the MOST. And it's going by so fast now.
Monkey is getting even stronger. I was brushing my teeth last night and I kept seeing my belly jump in the mirror. I could not stop laughing (and drooling toothpast everywhere as a result). Justin thinks I'm just nuts-o.
I'm really trying to cut back on the sweets. I told Justin to start helping me limit myself. I'm doing a little better (no thanks to Justin, he's a total pushover). But I think I might just have low blood sugar. This morning I was getting dressed and felt really faint and dizzy. My heart was POUNDING so I laid down for 20 minutes. I still didn't feel better. So I went and got some orange juice. That made me feel better. Maybe this is a sign that I will pass my GTT on the 26th. Fingers crossed!!! But I STILL have to cut way back on the sugar. I don't want a 9 lb baby if I can avoid it and this trimester all the weight goes straight to the baby. (My butt appreciates the cease-fire though.)
Speaking of baby fat, I'm really looking forward to seeing just how much Monkey has gained and grown since my last ultrasound. "She" was only 12 ounces 5 weeks ago. I can't wait for Thursday! I might get called to Tallahasse next week to testify in a murder trial. (Someone I knew in college was killed by her boyfriend. No, I did not witness anything, they just want me to read an email I sent about her request to break her lease because of the guy.) I REALLY want to go back to Tally for a night and shop and eat at all the places I can't at home. But I don't want them to call me on Thursday and make me miss my ultrasound.
One of the girls at work just said she think's I'm having a boy. Another co-worker said he's going to start an office pool. I think we might just find out on Thursday. I'm chomping at the bit and I don't think I can hold out. Justin has wanted to know all along, so he's not helping me stand my ground.
The monkey costume came in the mail yesterday!!! I am SO happy it got here in time. I'm just DYING to give it to Justin. He always gets mad at me when I say "I got you a present" and then won't tell him what it is. Literally...so mad. To the point that he doesn't even want the present anymore. So I can't even taunt him about it. My plan is to wrap it up and mix it in with all the other presents at the baby shower on Sunday and then when someone hands it to me to open I'll pass it to him and tell him it's an early birthday present and I thought he'd like to open it now so he doesn't feel like I got all the presents...since I picked out everything on our registry and all. I really hope he loves it. And Jamie said she has a bunch of other monkey stuff for the party too.
I really hope and pray we have a good turn out. Nothing is sadder than a shower with like 6 people. Know what I mean? But whatever. Mom says LOTS of people have RSVPed to my next shower so I'm even more excited about that one.
Lamaze went a lot better last night. No boring 30 minute guided meditation. Just lots of massages and breathing. My nose is feeling really dry and papery lately. I've been using a humidifier and saline spray, but it still feels like I'm inhaling sawdust. That makes Lamaze breathing oh so fun. But Nurse Melissa (the childbirth educator) is so funny and we just crack up the whole time. And we're starting to become friendly with the couple that sits next to us (Jay & Rachel) who are due the day after we are. Perhaps we'll get some new friends out of the class, someone to have play dates with. Yay!
Pictures coming soon I PROMISE.
