Glucose Testing

First of all I cannot believe I'm posting this horrible picture lol!

But bear with me as this was super early in the morning and I didn't feel too great!

This post ended up being kinda long, so in order to not flood my main page, click "read more" below to read all about my experience and see the little Q&A I put together about Glucose Testing!

Best Moment This Week: All the fun in the sun! This heat is unbearable and being in the pool feels so good, while it's still freaking hot, it's nice to have a tan! Also finally changing my name, even though I honestly didn't want to, I'm happy I'll have the same last name as my husband and daughter.

Key West & 26 Random Questions

Baby Girl and I went to Key West this weekend!

We had so much fun in the sun and a night full of dancing!

Here are some pictures of our trip:

Watching the Sun Set at Mallory Square.

I Spy a Baby Bump!

Haha I took a screen shot of my friend's Snapchat.. I totally got some ice cream and sat at the bar!

So I saw this random survey on Buzzfeed and thought it would be fun to do.

They're random questions that people don't really think to ask, haha!

And even cooler, I'm 26 weeks pregnant, so I like the fact that it's a 26 question thing. :) Enjoy!

1. What’s your favorite color?

Blue! I like the lighter shades.

2. Are you a morning person or a night owl?

Hmmm I'm an afternoon person haha! I don't like to do anything too early and now that I'm "old" I can't stay up too late either.

3. What’s your favorite pizza topping?
Pepperoni! So yum!

4. What’s your least favorite word?
Omg, I have a few and they are curse words and I will not write them on my blog! One starts with a P, the other with a C... Ew.

I was all about The Backstreet Boys back in the day!

18. What scares you?
Failure.

When I work, 5:15AM is when my first alarm goes on, on the weekends depending on what I did the day before or what time I went to sleep, usually 8AM.

20. What time do you go to bed?
Also depends. Usually I'm in bed by 10PM.

Looking Forward To: Picking a name. Everyone has been calling her this one name I've always loved, just because they know I like it. But we will see! Hubby needs to decide.. It actually makes me mad, and you don't wanna mess with a pregnant woman!!

Here are some pics from this week:

Looking huge wearing stripes! My face is getting much rounder too, wahhh! :(

We celebrated my friend Natalia's Birthday.

It was at a beautiful lake, at an amazing house!

We celebrated my mom's birthday too.

We had hibachi at Japan Inn.. Hence the Kimono style dress haha!

Movement: Hubby got to feel her all night at 24w3d. She's getting stronger and stronger!
Cravings: Sweets and sweets and sweets. And honestly, I'm not a beer drinker, but beer smells good to me now lol, it's so weird! So I want some when I'm around it, especially if I'm at the pool. I obviously have not had any though!
