Hello third trimester! I can’t believe I am already at this point. The weeks are literally flying by with only three months to go.

This week was a long one as it was Homecoming week. I feel like it has been never ending. My sophomores who put in so much work on their banner, won the contest! Super stoked for them.

I am getting sick of going to Tucson every Friday for my 1-3 appointments. Par for the course at this point, but by Friday I just want to relax for a bit. This week at my OB appointment I took my glucose test. I wasn’t sure what to expect because if have heard so many bad things about it. When they came in to give it to me they told me I was going to have to drink it in 5 minutes or less…what?! My SIL said it tastes like a sugary orange Gatorade, and she was right! I thought it was delicious and got it down in less than a minute. I’m hoping the results come back negative this next week and I don’t have to worry about gestational diabetes or taking the three hour test.

Other than that, my doctor said everything is looking great with baby girl. This coming week I have to get through parent/teacher conferences, and then I feel like I will truly be able to relax more.
