Hangin' Tough!

I went to see New Kids on the Block this weekend. Yes, that's right. The woman who hasn't been awake past 9:30 since getting pregnant stayed out and awake until almost 1 am! Our seats were horrible - literally the last row at the very top - but we had a good time anyway. Even though they are pushing 40, those New Kids can still rock the house. Their new moves are definitely a bit sexier than I remembered. Alijah was kicking and moving the whole time. He either loved the loud noise, or was annoyed by it.

I'm now 25 weeks and things are moving along. I've only gained about 12 lbs so far, which is shocking consider I feel like all I do is eat. My bloodwork came back and looks good - the baby is very low risk for having genetic problems. Next month is the blood glucose test. I have a bottle of orange syrupy looking stuff in the fridge to drink before my next appointment. I have a feeling it will taste pretty disgusting but I guess it's all over with in a few minutes. Next weekend I am visiting my friend Kathy in Lancaster and we booked a day at the spa - a pedicure and pregnancy massage. I'm so excited to be pampered a little! I figure I'll take advantage of it now when I a) have the time and b) have the money. Even though I've had a very easy pregnancy I'm getting tired of lugging around the extra weight, dealing with constant exhaustion, and trying to find cheap maternity clothes that are work appropriate. Why does it seem like all maternity clothes are made from polyester and have huge flowers on them?!?!?!
