Someone please tell me it's Friday

I swear, last night I thought it was Thursday. What a bummer to realize it was only Tuesday and I still had three more workdays.  :-/

Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment and a glucose tolerance test (which is for gestational diabetes).  The baby is doing great but my weight gain is getting...problematic.  I've gained 26 pounds total, which is kind of high for 26 weeks, and even worse, I gain more and more in the four weeks between each visit (first 5, then 8, then 13 - yikes!).  The midwife was really nice about it (unlike the evil witch I saw last time), I might even be more concerned about it than she is.  I also had the diabetes test, and am waiting to hear the results.  The midwife said that if it's positive,it might explain the weight gain, so we will see.  It's really frustrating because I have been eating very healthy foods, with a few exceptions, so I don't know why this is happening.  Jeff has been super supportive, and last night we went to the grocery store to pick up even healthier snacks.  I'm tracking the food I eat too, because the midwife suggested that I might just be snacking more than I realize.

I have one more appointment here (they are every two weeks now), then I will be in Seattle. HOLY COW we are moving soon.  I finally picked a new practice and I even have an appointment!  Things are moving forward with my graduation too, I got all of the paperwork finished and it's been accepted.  I'm also working with another lab member on a paper and I have plans for another one (which I will write up in Seattle).  Monday I had a phone interview about a new job and the guy seemed really interested;  he called all of my references as soon as we got off the phone, and it seems like he wants to fill the position ASAP which could work really well for me.  And, bonus, he is totally okay with me taking off at least 6 weeks for the baby!
