The fact that we don't have any full length mirrors in our home has only increased my lost reality. You know that feeling when you put your make-up on and wear a new outfit and your feeling young and beautiful only to find out that your lipstick has been covering your teeth all night or your shirt was tucked into your granny panties and exposed to all to see.....that's the feeling I'm having now....I am now 32 weeks pregnant and my back is starting to feel the blunt of it. I am feeling really good during the day, except for the exhaustion, but as night falls I start to feel like a truck has hit me. I have gained a total of 26 pounds and my bra is telling me that I've outgrown the elastic forgiveness of a DD. My feet fit into 3 pairs of shoes (and for those of you who know the amount of shoes I own, that's nothing!!!) My legs do not resemble the ones that I have grown to accept over the years...and my face is filling out nicely. My maternity pants are digging into my skin and my shirts no longer cover the ever growing bump. And since Shawn has been home he reminds me that I can't start to complain yet because we still have 2 more months to go. I love how he likes to use the word, "we" there is no "we" in this process. I'm getting fat and he's getting skinner...
I have been told by my midwife that I failed my gloucose screening, so I'm going into the doctor to have the 3 hr. gloucose test done. Actually, I've been told that it may take between 3-5 hrs. I'm really hoping for only 3 hrs. I can't imagine what I'm going to with 3 hrs. of sitting in silence. Yes, Caleb will not be with me...my girlfriend has offered to take him for the morning. I've thought about going to pick out a book before my appt. but I'm afraid that I'd fall asleep reading in silence. Anyway, keep your fingers crossed that I fail this test too. My midwife says that since I didn't have gestational diabeties with Caleb chances are that I won't with Riley either. I'll keep everyone updated!!

You look great! I had to do the three hour glucose test also (with Alison). I brought lots of magazines to keep me busy. Don't worry if you fall asleep they will wake you every hour to take your blood. Fortunately, I didn't have gestational diabetes, but was advised to watch sugar intake. Hopefully you'll come out of this with a clean bill of health as well. Good luck and enjoy the quiet time. :)
I love, love, love the belly!! You look great and happy. I love the smile on your face:):) I had to do the 3hr test with Jordan because I was borderline, but I was fine. I took a book and read the whole time-well, I did a lot of people watching as well-that can be pretty entertaining. It went pretty fast. Hopefully you will be negative on this one!!
You look amazing! Just terrific! And I say go to sleep. It is kid free snoozing time!
You are so cute! Yeah!
You've got the pointiest belly in this picture. And you look great! I love the name Riley, by the way.
Hi Rachael,
I just wanted to let you know that I mailed the nursing cover up today. The lady said that it would take about 2 weeks, so should still be there before you need it!!
