People told me the exact same thing about my hair, but I’ve gone through enough phases with short hair to know that when it gets greasy and you’re running late, it’s way easier to manage. With long hair, you can just throw it into a ponytail or a bun, but short hair? There's no hiding it.
I mostly stick to high-top sneakers and boots—let’s be honest, it’s basically just sneakers at this point—and I can still tie them myself, even if it feels like more of a struggle than it used to.
It actually caught me off guard how quickly I started hitting a wall physically. Like, I’ll take a quick walk to the corner store and suddenly I feel like I need to crawl straight into bed.

I had this conversation with my sister yesterday that actually caught me off guard. I’m heading into my ninth month of pregnancy, and while we were chatting about getting everything ready for the baby, she expressed genuine shock that I plan on handling all the laundry and ironing myself. Honestly, if things get too overwhelming or physically taxing, I’ll give my mom a call—she's retired, after all—but I don't see why I shouldn't be able to tackle thirty minutes of ironing, even in my condition.
I’m already on my feet most days cooking lunch, so standing for a bit longer isn't the issue.
Her logic is that I shouldn't be bending over so much—like loading or unloading the washer—and that I should instead just rest, stay positive, and go for a stroll if the weather is nice...
Look, that’s all fine in theory, but if I feel good and the work isn't draining me, I don't see any reason to sit on my hands. If I can drive the car, run errands at Target, or whip up a meal, I can certainly handle a few chores.

I haven't had my OGTT yet.
Back when I got my initial blood work done last week (around 10 weeks), both my glucose and GGT levels were elevated. My doctor handed me a referral for the oral glucose tolerance test and put me on an 1,800-calorie diet right then and there.😢

Man, me too 😢 I honestly didn't see that coming at all.
Have you checked in with Chevron yet? They told me to head over there for my next follow-up 😢
What week are you on?
