Had a doctor's appointment this morning - the yucky glucose screening. That orange drink hasn't improved in the past three years. (But, props to the screener with the forethought to put it in a really cold refrigerator.) Got on the scale to discover I'd gained 10 pounds since my last visit! (Last visit, I hadn't gained anything!)
A little discouraged by that stat but hoping that getting back to the gym will help keep my weight down. Started back (after a 2-month gym vacation due to work) on Monday and it felt great to work out but I came hope BEYOND-tired. Did weights on Tuesday and my muscles were cramping like crazy.
My body is just doing crazy things at this point!

Viability Week is OVER!
Jonathan and I celebrated what I am calling "Viability Week" in Cancun. My doctor said that babies are now viable outside the womb at 24 weeks. That is also the last week she wanted me traveling.
I think that completing the week gave us the confidence to finally name our little girl. We chose "Lily Kate" (which probably comes as no surprise since we've been leaning that way from the beginning). Although, this morning, I all of a sudden started to like the sound of "Lily Reese." I'm sure we'll stick with Lily Kate though. No matter what, we've always come back to that name.
I have more calm and peace knowing that it's possible for her to come into the world now. She feels more real every day. Ace and I have been talking to her a lot lately. He'll ask her if she likes monster trucks and will sing her songs. He loves to lay on her too. He felt her kick the other night and his face was precious.
Before we left, our families showered us with a ridiculous amount of clothes for her. Putting them in her closet was such a special and sweet moment. It's like I can already picture her in them.
