Movin' On Up

I have graduated to doctor's appointments every two weeks now. How exciting! That means we are getting close. Tomorrow JC Penney will be delivering some furniture, but I'm not sure what. We ordered a kitchen table not long after I ordered Evan's furniture. There was a problem with the payment method though and both shipments left on the same date. Maybe we'll get both at the same time.

We have a big weekend coming up. I have a shower with our families on Saturday afternoon and we have tickets to the UH vs. Tech game. Saturday will be busy and I'm not sure I'll be getting a nap :(

Showered with Love

I want to send a big thank you to all of my girlfirends that hosted my first baby shower. Susan, Kari, Lisa, Jenny, Becky, Amy, Claudia, Kathi, Roxanne and Kelly throw a great party. We missed Roxanne and Kelly! The cake was delicious, the company was fantastic, and I was overwhelmed by all the wonderful gifts. Justin and I will enjoy using it all with Evan once he is here. He will be here before I know it. I can't wait for everyone to meet this little guy, me included!

I passed!

Whew! I don't have the GD... or at least my Metformin is keeping my blood sugar under control. I do, however, have to start taking more iron. The results were borderline, but they said I should add it anyway. I'm in the same boat with Lisa. I'll probably end up with hemorrhoids, though :(

Nursery

I feel like I am so behind. We will at least have furniture though. I finally decided to go with the stuff that costs less from JC Penney. If I'm not happy I can replace it I guess. At least I won't care if it is chewed on or marked on. I got the crib, long dresser, chest and bookcase. Not sure if I need all that, but I think it can be returned.

Here is a link to what I decided to get. I hope I like it!

Mmmm Orange

I loved the orange drink, too. It is kind of like a REALLY sweet orange drink from McDonald's. Of course I was super thirsty and it was cold. Unfortunately, on the day I had to sit in the office for an hour there were only 3 out of the 8 compressors working in the AC. It was even hotter than normal being hopped up on all that sugar I think. After I left I stopped to get some more orange food... Cheetos. I needed some salty carbs to balance out my day. The no carb lunch was gross and I could wait to get some starch in me!
The rest of the appointment was fine. He said my weight gain and blood pressure were all A OK. I've graduated to appointments every three weeks. That means that his arrival is getting really close and I am so not ready. We have not started the nursery or ordered furniture. I probably should have started looking for that as soon as I found out I was pregnant. I'm the worst about committing to semi-permanent purchases (furniture, cars, etc.). My goal is to get it this week. Someone needs to hold me to that!

The Test

My glucose test for GD is this afternoon. Send prayers my way that all will go well. Hopefully, I won't have to take the 3 hour test. It's also the student's first day of school... not a good day to have to leave a little early. I guess they'll make it without me.

Still Kickin'

I have asked Justin if he wants to feel the baby kick several times. He has felt a little bump a couple of times over the past month. Finally, the other night he was convinced he actually felt a kick. Probably because it REALLY was a ninja kick (or punch). I'm still not really sure what I feel and where, hands or feet, elbows or knees. I guess he is probably still doing somersaults in there.

In other happy news, my mom told me last night that my cousin is having a baby boy! He is due about a month and a half after Evan. Congrats Brad and Tina! I'm looking forward to meeting Braden, too.
