27 Weeks Update + Fun Weekend

So I didn't update last week... Friday I went to the chiropractor. I'm getting tested for gestational diabetes at my next doctor's appointment, so I asked him what he would recommend if it came back positive. He said he would be shocked if it came back positive, but that I would need to do a high-protein, low-carb and low-fruit diet, and work on building muscle, because that uses sugar. So I'm really hoping I don't have it, but if I do, obviously I want to be prepared and will want to change my diet however necessary. I get tested October 16.

This Saturday, Adam and I decided to "get away" and spend a day just the two of us before Baby comes. The B&B plan didn't really work out, so instead, we spent most of Saturday exploring/having an Adventure Day in various small towns, went to an apple orchard (actually 2!), and then out to dinner for Adam's birthday. We ate at the Dorf Haus, which is Adam's favorite restaurant in Wisconsin, and afterward we walked out in their little garden area that has a gazebo. On our way to the garden, we saw this crazy crooked shed... the picture isn't great, but it was hilarious!!

 At first, we were going to have an early dinner and then go to Olive Garden for dessert (we have talked about doing this for-ev-er and have never actually done it), but Adam filled up on other sweets after dinner so we postponed dessert until Sunday. We ended up ordering 5 desserts for the 2 of us... talk about sugar overload!! But it was fun, and we got to try a bunch of different things.



The first course

Saturday, Adam got to feel our little guy move quite a bit. Up until now, he had only felt jabs or kicks, but on Saturday he felt him move along the outside of my stomach, as if he was rubbing his elbow or heel against my uterus :-D He thought it was weird and cool at the same time.

So now, today, is 27 weeks! Yesterday was 6 months, according to my method of calculating. Only three months (give or take) until we get to meet our little guy! I'm very excited.

I've also noticed that I'm a lot more emotional. I'll either get way more worked up than normal in response to something, or I'll just come out and need to cry when nothing has really happened! Thankfully, it hasn't happened a lot. I feel bad for Adam, but he's been great and very supportive. I know everything's ok, and 99% of the time I'm completely fine, but sometimes it (whatever "it" is!) just hits me!! I like being pregnant and all, but I certainly won't miss the crazy pregnancy hormones!!

Last thing for today - I got a pregnancy wedge pillow for under my belly. I just got it yesterday, so I've only used it one night, but so far I like it. I think I will like it even more once I get bigger and have more belly to support! But I slept pretty well last night :-)
