I am counting down the days until the end of the semester. This semester has been kicking my butt. I can't think of the last weeknight I got to sleep at a reasonable hour. (Can you believe my final exams are in 33 days? LOL)

Congrats on your last day Bricco! I'm jealous!!!
I'm so glad it is Friday. The days are moving faster than I thought they would so I'm pretty happy. I have my last site visits at my Friday schools today and I know one of them is having a little party for me. Just one more week of site visits, one week of office time and I'm done!
I love iced coffee, so my vote is yes, iced coffee weather! I "retire" today lol that's what my DH keeps calling it anyway. I feel sort of weird about it. I work for a small company, they are having a lunch today for me. I feel awkward about the whole thing though. I know I'm going to cry because that's just what I do these days. I'm ready for this day to be over.
I tossed and turned last night a lot. I got up to use the bathroom at 3 am and I couldn't get back to sleep. I finally fell back asleep probably somewhere in the 4 am hour but my alarm goes off at 5:30 am. I snoozed until 6 am this morning. I'll be glad when today is over, I'm tired and I'm sure this is just the beginning of sleepless nights.
I think that I am showing much sooner than last time. It's insane. I look at least 4 months pg. It's hard to keep it under wraps.
I am measuring big @ 11 weeks and I am not 11 weeks till Monday. So yeah!
I am similarly huge this time around. I was comparing pictures of this pregnant belly to last time and I am exactly as big to the casual observer at 22 weeks as I was around 30 weeks last time.
My A/S, however, showed I was only measuring about 4 days ahead on some things and was measuring exactly on time for others. With DD, I measured ahead in all categories the whole pregnancy.
So this pregnancy and last, I didn't start gaining until 20 weeks for whatever reason. Literally in the past two weeks I've gained 5 pounds. My eating habits have not changed significantly. I don't understand that. Maybe your body just starts to hold on to calories at a certain point? So weird.

I haven't received the results of my 3 hour glucose test from yesterday yet, but I was able to find out the results of my failed one hour test from last week - I failed with a number of 141 - the passing range is 65-139 - so I failed by 2 freaking points.
I am trying to have a little hope that this means maybe I will pass the 3 hour test, but I'm not getting my hopes up too much because I don't want to end up being so disappointed if I fail the 3 hour test.

I hope you pass.
If not, it will be ok. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes a little over a month ago. I definitely struggled a bit at first (and it's still annoying at times). But I found talking to the woman here who also have it to be so helpful. They gave me great advice and encouragement. And I find as time goes on, it bothers me less. I guess I'm just getting used to it.
But I know that getting that initial diagnosis is upsetting. Feel free to pm me if you need/want.
Though I'm hoping you don't even have to think about any of that and your pass with flying colors!

I got up to go to the gym this morning, and on my way, I made the realization that I need to start eating before I go (I usually don't eat until after). I was getting a little nauseous on my drive to the gym. Good thing I keep gatorade powder in my gym bag! Time to start getting some crackers or a banana or something in the morning.

I'm not even 6 wks yet and feel I won't be about to hide this pregnancy much longer. I may make it to 9 weeks before I have to break out my maternity clothes. Maybe.
aqualuv I was up from 2-3am. It was awful! My alarm went off at 5:40a I hit snooze and crawled out at 6:05a.
I think I have to give up sugar and gluten. My head is just horrendous! It keeps hurting. I feel I need to give it up to see if it helps. The thought of no carbs is like the most horrendous thought right now. I just want a double double from In n Out burger today.
I am SO jealous! I am due in 12 days and am on the schedule for three more shifts, one of which is the night of my EDD. UGH. I am really hoping that this little lady comes early so I don't have to work the rest of these shifts.

I just want to sleep. Last night I laid in bed for almost 3 hours before falling asleep, then was up a lot.
FI has a nice dinner planned tonight. He said to dress up and be ready by 7:30. I'm excited, we haven't done this in a while, but I feel so fat and have nothing to wear. In 2 weeks I went from all my clothes fitting to none of them (pants at least). I'm already starting to stress.
I just found out my sister's pregnant too! She's due 18 days after me. My first, her second. I'm super excited for her, and to have our kids grow up together, but selfishly I hope they're not born too close together since I want my mom to stay with me for a couple weeks after I give birth, but she may want to fly back and see my sister when she has her baby (I live out of state).

I went to the gym this morning and got "OMG, you've already popped!" comments AND "OMG, you're barely showing, I hate you comments!" LOL And all comments were from pals that have had kids, so it's not like it's coming from people that just don't know about pregnant bellies. I just laughed. So I'm either tiny or huge right now, depending on whom you ask.
We're off to Vegas tonight for a family wedding tmrw. I can't drink, but I'm going to eat ALL the things. I can't wait!

Ha! One of my coworkers said today "I guess I can tell you congratulations, because you're definitely having a baby!" Not five minutes later she said "you look like you've barely gained any weight." *-)
I'm still uncomfortable with people commenting on the size of my belly. Even if it's not meant this way, it feel like a veiled way of saying "look how chubby you are!"

It really is no joke. My uterus was already above my pubic bone at 7 weeks. Right before the first ultrasound, the tech was like are you sure you're only 7 weeks. I was scared that I was having multiples or something, but the baby was measuring just fine. I just had a gigantic uterus.
Thursday I had a doctor appt. The dr warned me about possible nose bleeds. This morning I woke up to a bloody nose. I couldn't get a tissue fast enough before it was running on my pillow. Yuck!
