Baby G - Week 27

The second wave of exhaustion is definitely kicking in. Most of the days this week, I came home from school and just sat on the couch for a while. I was just so tired. After reading on the Internet for a while or watching some mindless TV, I was good to go for a few more hours.

One of the little girls in my class told me early in the week, "Mrs. Green your belly isn't very big." Of course that day, I had on a black shirt which hid it. By Thursday, when I wore a sweater, she said, "OK, maybe it's bigger than I thought, but it's still not very big." I could only laugh. My students also want to know if I will come to visit them after the baby is born. As the time is getting closer, it's getting more real for them.

I think we've finally settled on a name! But you guys will have to wait a few more months to find out. You can guess all you want, but I don't think anyone will get it. Jonathan and I finished registering for baby items this weekend. And the last big item for the nursery came in the mail this week so Jonathan hung it today, but it has Baby G's initials so pictures will come later.

So latley, I've been thinking a lot about mac & cheese. I wouldn't say craving it, but kind of like the Indian food, I want it once a week. Luckily, the heartburn has pretty much gone away except for an occasional appearance. I'm still not a fan of most meats. I can do ground beef and chicken when it's mixed with something. I told Jonathan our kid may be a vegetarian. I do have a pretty big sweet tooth, which really isn't a surprise. And I've been getting my fill between baking goodies and Blue Bell ice cream. Jonathan has also been partaking in the sweets, but he has been hitting the gym pretty often. Sleeping, or lack of, remains the same. I go to the doctor on Monday, and they will draw blood for the gestational diabetes test. I'm crossing my fingers I pass and laying off the sugars this weekend!
