29w5d UPDATE!

Wow, sorry it's been awhile! Lovely Heather reminded me I haven't updated-- I knew I should, I guess I just didn't have the time? Or energy. Well, it's been like two weeks so I guess now I have a few things to say.

First of all, I passed my 3hr glucose test. That is awesome because I did not really want to have gestational diabetes. Who does?!? So, good news there!

We got the crib and put it up. It's so cute! I have a couple pictures...really cute...but I want to wait until we get stuff more ready to post anything. My mom got our bedding (it may have been a surprise?!) and my aunt is going to alter it to fit our crib, because it's standard crib size and we got her a minicrib, but I'm REALLY excited to have it ready. Its perfect!

Friday I got paid and ordered diapers from cottonbabies.com. I have heard everyone's comments -- good and bad-- and I will just tell you...if you have been around me at all (or as much as my husband) you would understand how excited I am about doing this. He is sooooo tired of hearing about it, I know but who else am I going to talk to about it?! Yes, I know baby poo is nasty and I'm going to be doing more laundry but this is something I have done a lot of reading on and I am honestly really excited. Who knows how it will work out until we try? ANYWAY, I ordered my diapers and got a call because they didn't have one of the colors I ordered so I think that delayed them getting here. :( I still have to order 15 prefolds but the website is out of the ones I want in infant size. If they still are in a couple of weeks I have a backup site to order from. I cant wait for the ones I ordered to get here!

I think I have been getting sick over the weekend. I'm not really sure what it is. I guess a little cold. :( Sucks, because I can't take anything. Sore throat, stuffiness, sneezy, chills. Grossness. I went shopping with my mom Saturday afternoon and we got to the store and within about 15 minutes I was in a cold sweat, out of energy, and couldn't breathe. I felt really crappy and REALLY bad that I wasn't into shopping. I just started bawling in the middle of the baby bedding isle. I just told my mom I didn't really know why I was crying, I just hurt and was exhausted and felt nasty but she was asking if my stomach hurt and what was wrong. Hopefully I will get over it soon though.

On a better note, my mom and Aunt Sue felt Baby Natalie move yesterday! It was really exciting and I laughed when both of them felt her for the first time because their eyes got SO big! My Mom felt her first and she started yelling really high pitched and then she kicked like 800 times. :D

How's that for an update?!? I have an appointment Wednesday so I may have another one! :)

Glucose Test

Ewww ewww ewww. Soooo they told me to get here pretty early so that i could get out in time to get something for lunch. I really, really did not want to get up early though so it should be about 12:45 when I get out of here. Hopefully Mama can do lunch with me or something. We'll see. :)

So I am in between my second and third blood draw right now. When I got here they took my fasting blood but it took her like 2.5 sticks to draw any blood. The drink I had last time seemed cold and was orange flavored. This time, the drink was lemon-lime flavored, which I liked better, but overall it was much worse. Thinking about it makes me want to throwwwww up. So far she has poked me twice where they usually do-- in the crease of my arm-- twice in my forearm and once on the top of my hand!

I just wanna go to sleep.

OHHHH ALMOST FORGOT THE BIGGEST NEWS... Crib should be here tomorrow!!!! Because it doesnt look like it's coming today. Im good with that because tonight I have to work and tomorrow night I will be off!

27weeks!

Oops! Guess I didn't have too much to update about last week. But I DID take a picture...I put it on FB and the forums, but I guess I forgot this? Doh! Well here are 2 pics for 26weeks and then I will put 27weeks up tomorrow!




Sooo I had my appointment today at 11:15. When I got there I signed in and they gave me the glucose drink. She said I had 3minutes to drink it but I totally could have chugged it and slammed it on the counter!! Anyways, Dr. Jones said I had the perfect weight gain and my blood pressure was good. Baby's hb was 148. So I drank the drink, then got blood drawn after visiting with my doctor and I also had to have the Rh factor shot today. Hurray! They were teasing about being extra mean to me today, but it wasnt SO bad.

After the appointment it was lunch time so we had Chili's then went to Seth's Nanas for a visit. It was soooo rainy and gloomy today I was really excited to get home and cuddle under blankets and watch movies. I fell asleep while Seth watched 2 movies (haha!) and then we played Monopoly (and Phase 10!) and I whooped Seth. :)

After Seth went to work I started cleaning the bedroom. The crib is being shipped so I did some organizing to make room and it feels really good!

Well, Seth is on his way home--weeee! I think he's been getting a little sickly. :(
