28 Week Update: Eggplants and Sunsets

Thursday, October 10, 2013

I'm 28 weeks pregnant today!


... and bohk-soong-ah is the size of an eggplant!

So quite a bit has happened since my last update. It's been about a month and so far I've had both the 1 hour and 3 hour glucose tests. I failed the 1 hour by 5 points. Honestly I was a little disappointed. I took the test on a Saturday and my doctor called me the following Friday. "I hope i'm not ruining your weekend, BUT..." Are you for real? She told me I was borderline, but that really didn't make things any better. As if four blood pulls in three hours isn't bad enough; I might actually have gestational diabetes?? FML.

The next Saturday I went to the lab for the 3 hour screening. They gave me the lemon-lime flavored drink. It was pretty bad. When women tell me how disgusting it is, I always assume that it's because they've been cutting so much sugar-soda out of their diets. But, I was wrong. Unlike the first test this drink made me feel super nauseous. The second hour into waiting was really just trying to keep it down. But Lillien has prevailed! I finished the test around noon and went out for Kimbap with Jon afterwards. Although I felt sick, the test actually went by pretty quickly. I haven't heard from the doctor yet about the results, but am due to see her tomorrow. I will keep you updated. Cross your fingers!


My belly has gotten a tad bit bigger. Mind you, I say this with caution. All throughout my pregnancy people, both men and women alike, have told me I seemed, "small for ___ weeks." When hearing this I just think to myself about how all women and all pregnancies are different. Some women gain a lot, some a little. But at seven months. I do look a bit small. I have gained maybe 12-13 pounds so far. Other than that I feel healthy and everything appears to be normal. The doctor always tells me that little one has a strong heartbeat so I'm in no way worried.

This is basically what I've been eating for breakfast these days:


Some sort of whole grain/wheat carb with some raw veggies and some fruit. I usually have a yogurt for a snack within a couple hours.


Mochi and I visited Jon at work this last week. We were chillin' out on the set of Hostages.


This is him covering for Jon's buddy Hock at the dimmer board. Hey there Mochi. Are you working hard or hardly working??


And with that I leave you with this beautiful shot of a sunset sky.


Cheers.
