Well, I'm almost 26 weeks along in my pregnancy. I did the glucose test and will get the results soon. My OB says she is very happy with my weight gain (I'm up 10 pds but keep in mind I started this pregnancy off about 30 pds overweight) but said my belly was a little bit big; she was not concerned about it and told me not to be concerned either. Um, does she know she who's talking to??? I called my sister, who was able to calm my fears about what my OB could have meant and felt a lot better. Either I'm carrying a big baby or I'm farther along that we thought.
In other news, work continues to be both a nuisance and a welcome distraction. A nuisance because a few people on my team really need to move on; some have been there too long and are showing clear signs of burnout. Another one constantly calls in sick, which is bullshit because according to her Facebook updates, she is clearly not sick on the days she says she is. Maybe she is simply allergic to work. Despite this, work is a welcome distraction; although I'm ready to be at home and getting things ready for the baby, I'm happy to be working as it keeps me busy. I suspect with hours of time on my hands, the small nagging fears of loss will overwhelm me.
A very good friend of mine and I will be taking baking classes at Michael's. We are so excited!! In a previous class, we learned how to frost a cake and make fancy cake designs. I still have not mastered the art of frosting but I'm working on it. Perhaps I'll have it perfected in time for my baby's first birthday :)
