Some Nursery Progress

We finally found some "free" time to start getting the nursery situated. Grant did an awesome job on the paint! I am glad I was able to hold off being ansy and let him do it. I can only imagine what it would have looked like if I did it with my "eye-balling" ways of doing things! He is much more precise. :) Here is what we got so far, we are not completely done but it has come far!







It is starting to seem that much more real that there is a baby on the way now walking by the nursery. We had our birthing class on Saturday at the hospital and we both learned a lot. So it was worth our time and money for sure. I have my next Dr's appt next Wednesday and will do another update then. Kujo was rather confused when he got home last night and had to check everything out. :)

29 weeks and counting!

A couple Fridays ago I had to do the 3 hour glucose test which was quite boring to say the least! Thankfully text messaging, magazines, and people watching were able to get me through it. I didn't get the results right there this time, so I had to go home and wait. I ended up getting them later that afternoon and I PASSED. So the three hours was worth it! So I was still able to enjoy tons of birthday cake the next week for my birthday. :)

I had my regular dr appt. this week on Tuesday and she told me I am measuring three weeks behind, meaning I was only measuring 26 weeks. At first she had me schedule a growth ultra sound just to be sure everything was okay, but then she called me back and told me to cancel the ultra sound for now and that she wants to see me in two weeks to see if he made any progress. SO that was a bit of relief as I started worrying right away. So we will see what that appointment brings on the 7th. (Happy Birthday Jess!) I only gained two pounds again which must just be my norm apparently. His heartbeat was 145bpm and everything else looked good!

Yesterday we had a potluck at work which was very good and I was able to stay full all afternoon and night! And to my surprise they planned a baby shower for me as well. I was surprised and very excited to start getting baby things! It makes it that much more real. I got a ton of good stuff and am thankful for awesome coworkers. Now I can't wait to start putting it away once the nursery is complete.... Hopefully this weekend. Fingers crossed.

Saturday we have our birthing class all day at the hospital and I am looking forward to that. I think after that I will feel that much more prepared for when I actually go into labor. I will let you know how that goes. That is all for now! Here is a picture at 29 weeks......

Lots of Fun!

Well alot has happened since the last post so I will try not to ramble on too much! The first exciting thing is I had to trade in my red sports car for a nice four door family car. I love it! It was hard to hand my red car's keys over, but I knew the new keys were much better. :)

The second exciting thing is Grant started painting the nursery! He knew I was getting ansy so he started it without telling me when I was at work. Great surprise to come home to! It is still a work in progress since we are doing something a little beyond just one coat of paint in there, so stay tuned for further updates! Here is round one before and after:










The third exciting thing is I got a 3D/4D ultrasound done last night! Joline and Carter were willing to come with me (And I thank them for that!)and I thought it was amazing. I would recommend the place I went to anyone who is pregnant. They also do photography there and have great packages for after the baby is born. I will be going back there for sure!Here are a few of the images from last night:







And the last thing, maybe not as exciting, I had another Dr Appt today. It didn't go like I wanted to for the most part, but I will deal with it! The good news is I am measuring right on track at 26 weeks and I am not dilated or anything so that made me feel better!I always dreaded the dr telling me I have to go on bedrest, I would go insane! I again only gained two pounds, so she told me to keep on eating! That is all I do I swear. Which leads me to the next part of the appt. I FAILED my glucose test! Not good timing for the test with Girl Scout Cookies being delivered this week I guess. :) But I only failed by 2 points so I should pass the three hour with flying colors. I hope! I have that appt next Friday and then my next routine one on March 23rd. (Happy Birthday to Sarah)! Time is flying by and I am starting to freak out just a bit. I hope Grant can handle me the next few weeks, I was told the next round of hormones will be coming in full force! That is all for now. Here is a picture of me today at 26 weeks, 4 days.
