25 weeks part 2, pinterest, and the life of a music teacher

SO as you read earlier, I am 25 weeks pregnant today. I had my OB appointment and Baby M and I are both doing perfectly. I lost a pound from my last visit even though I feel like I have been pigging out! I now go to the dr every 2 weeks! Welcome to the third trimester by the next appointment! I have to take that dreaded glucose test next time, YUCKY! Ew do I hate that sugary orange drink. Last time I had to hold my nose and just chug it. My dr's office tests twice for the glucose, which I think is god because by the time you take it during the 24-28 week mark, you can already have it and testing early can help predict your risk for gestational diabetes. Next time the dr is giving me a packet on choosing a pediatrician and making a few recommendations.

I really like my OB, she is super nice and informative but doesn't talk at you like you are an idiot for not going to med school like some doctors. She addresses all of my concerns and questions every time I see her and I hate when I see the practitioner instead of her (I am supposed to alternate who I see) but the secretary who books appointments already caught me trying to only see the dr lol! I cannot picture myself going to anyone else! Next time I am going to ask her what days she is at the hospital doing deliveries so I can know whether I should be expecting her or not. haha.

I am visiting my good friend Betsy in Ohio during April vacation (5 weeks away!). I cannot wait to see her again and meet her new little baby Xavier AND meet her boo! LOL

Dan has had the stomach virus since yesterday, fml! (men are soooo wimpy, I think I might whine less during childbirth...)

This week is a little crazy because I am giving a few extra voice lessons to make up for vacation week and presidents day. Not to mention progress reports went out Friday and I have parent/teacher conference night tomorrow. UGH! I can see it now...parents asking why their kid of a bad grade and me siting the missed homeworks', bad test grades and low participation scores. Music is a real subject people and your kid is in middle school...its not time to fool around and sing songs and hold hands all day. We learn about theory, play instruments, and sing songs but they are accountable for their ability to do all of the above. Not to say there isn't anything said about effort though...

I can feel the nesting urge coming on the closer and closer I get to Baby M's due date! I NEED HER ROOM SET UP! AHHHHH! I bought a few outfits and a laundry basket and thats it! We are waiting for our shower to make any major purchases. We were VERY surprised at how generous everyone was with the wedding registry so we thought registering for everything we might need other than clothes is a good idea so people have a lot of choices if they want to buy us something. I felt weird registering for the wedding, its like I was asking people to buy us stuff, and I kind of feel the same way about the baby registry but I know it makes things easier for anyone who buys something. I love using other people's registries when I buy for their wedding or baby shower!

I made spicy honey glazed tofu for dinner and it was yummy! I made coconut rice for a side dish and it came out good too. I found the honey glaze recipe on Pinterest, which I am loving more and more.

Well folks, its 9:15 and its time for this mama-to-be to go veg on the couch...
