...that is my belly.
With my bulging tummy, I can no longer see my feet.
At 24 weeks and 1xx lbs, I am getting heavier (and bigger) by the day. My feet aren’t swollen yet but standing too long has become a pain already. The other night while cooking and doing the dishes, the heels of my feet felt so sore that I had a difficult time getting some sleep. I tried to prop my feet to a firm pillow, which unfortunately did not work. Thank goodness when I woke up the following morning, the pain was gone!
Check up last Saturday went well, too. I went to see a male doctor this time. He’s ok – a warm and friendly type of doctor, and Ryan agreed with me. I was asked to take the Glucose Screening Test to see whether I have gestational diabetes or not. Thankfully, the results came back stating that my glucose tolerance is normal *yey!*
On my next visit, my new OB will do an ultrasound to see how the baby’s progressing. I don’t have to pay any extra charge for that as he will do the scan himself. We’re so excited to have a glimpse of our little boy again!
Last Friday, we also started moving the baby items we’ve accumulated to the drawer which we’re going to use for his stuff. I was so surprised at how much we’ve gotten already as the two drawers were already filled with things, with the bottom one containing the boppy pillow that took so much space. And to think we haven’t started shopping for clothes yet. Ayayay!

Hi Gracie! Glad that you're negative on your Glucose Screening test. Keep up the good healthy mommy routine. :)
hi valerie,
thanks, dear! am so happy about it...as in! i felt relieved 'cos it means kahit na may cheat days ako (when giving in to cravings), healthy pa rin ang pagbubuntis ko.
Yey for a negative result on the oral glucose test! I failed that! But I was able to control my bloodsugar levels through sensible diet. Hee hee. :D
It's going to be more uncomfortable as your tummy becomes bigger but it's gonna be all worth it! *hugs*
Wow! Your belly is so big :)
Ako kaya kelan? Hehehehe
