Lions and tigers and needles! OH MY!

Today I woke up at 7 AM and got ready for my Doctor's appointment.  This appointment was different than the ones I've had before.  It was to check and see if I had gestational diabetes, which is for the sugar level and how my body handles it, and I was fasting from the night before so the results would be "accurate".  The first one I took for the diabetes was about a week ago.  Turns out it was too high so I had to go back and take the second one.  This test was 3 and a half hours long.  When I got there at 8:13AM, I signed in, then waited to be called.  Well little did I know I was going to be getting poked at every freaking hour!! It was horribleee!! So every hour that went by another needle and another needle, more blood, more blood. I got a total of 4 shots, 2 on my right arm and 2 on my left.  The nurse mentioned to me that she was having a hard time getting my vein so on the second needle, she poked around for about what seemed forever! (lol) It was hurting.  I also can't stand the sight of needles so when she would go into my arm, I always looked away. 

I got out of there at about 11:45 AM or so, after that I got home and my lovely boyfriend had left me 3 bean tacos for me when I got home.  AWWWW.  It was a sweet gesture and I mean, it is our 4 year anniversary today!  But we won't be celebrating until Saturday this week. =D

I finished eating quickly.
I left the house again around 12:20 to head to school for my teaching class.  Left the class at around 2:45 then headed towards the school's day care so I could get some field work hours of observation (which I still have 14 and a half to do..eeekk!)  And by this time I just wanted to head home and rest a bit.  As tired as I felt, I stayed for what seemed like the longest hour and a half. For the observation, I thought it was so weird to watch a screen at the day care and just watch them ... watch them like people watch animals at a zoo.  I found it amusing at times when the kids would react towards other kids.  One of them pulled a chair under another child and he starts screaming "Teacher, teacher!" Hahaha Awww kids! Soon I will have my own little bundle of joy!

Julie and Julia/Pregnancy

So I just finished watching the movie Julie and Julia.

Somehow it gave me some boost to upkeep my blog and not just set it aside like I have been! avoiding it.

I am also in my 27 weeks pregnancy.  Almost 7 months!  I am starting to feel the dreaded tiredness that comes along with the third trimester.  Sleeping hours and hours a day and feeling exhausted.  I do not like this part one bit!  I was talking to my "step-sister" and she asked me "how far along are you?".  I told her," I'm just into my 3rd trimester".  She does a long face with a frown "Oh, you still have a longgggg way to go!"   That made me feel WAY better hearing that. (lol) Yes, but somehow the weeks and days have been going by so fast, I almost feel like I won't be ready when baby  Jason gets here.  I really need to work on his room and we have yet to purchase any big items for him.  This and school is stressing me out.  But good thing semester is almost over! Yeepeee!!

Stretch marks!  The dreaded stretch marks!  I have some and I KNOW I will get more later on.  Especially in the last month of my pregnancy.  For now it is just me and my cocoa butter "trying" to avoid further damage.
