Orange drink down

Well, today was my Dr. apt and I got the lovely orange drink down the shoot with no problems, waited an hour and had my blood taken. We will find out next week what the results were and hopefully all were good. They were checking for gestational diabetes and anemia. We got to listen to our baby girls heart beat again. It sounds so amazing and is so sweet to an anxiously awaiting Mama's ear. It was right around 142 and just as sweet as can be. The only bad thing was I lost another 2 pounds and got told it wasn't good for my weight to be fluctuating anymore going into the 3rd trimester. I only saw the Dr a week and a half ago and today I was wearing heavier clothes today because it was cold outside. I should be gaining about a pound a week from this point out. Hailey was content and my belly is growing right on track though :) I need to start taking it easy. I have been doing way to much at work and I am just really ready for this week to be over. Ever since the work drama I just feel like I need to push myself as much as I can but it really isn't fare to Hailey. I just want to succeed and have a great Holiday season. Retail is so hard sometimes, or at least being the boss is. Today was my day off and I had to go up to the store for 3 1/2 hours. Its just neverending and I am truly saying that with a smile 90% of the time I love my job and that would be the same everywhere Its just hard, working so hard and being pregnant and tired. So what does everyone think good snacks would be at work? I eat enough when I am at home but bit when I am at the store. I hate junk so it needs to be yummy :) Happy early Thanksgiving to everyone! Hugs and loves to everyone :)

Cheese and crackers were usually a good snack for me or maybe a P-B&J...please rest, you don't want to have any regrets later. Love you and Hailey!

Hey Kate, glad you kept the drink down. And don't let them stress you too much about the weight. Truly. BTDT. As long as baby is growing fine do NOT watch the scale. It will only stress you out. And there really is no reason with that. Please take it easier, okay?
