Christmas Update


Time is flying by, and I can't believe I will be 28 weeks pregnant tomorrow! Things have been going well for us and we had a great Christmas! It was nice to see family and friends and have a chance to do things we haven't had time to do until now. Our crib came in, and Drew and I had a fun New Year's Eve setting that up. We finished just in time for the ball drop! We also got our infant car seat and a stroller frame, so my stuffed Christmas bear has gotten some test drives around the house. Speaking of test drives, we've finally gotten down to business about car-shopping because my old Nissan is not exactly baby-friendly.

At my most recent doctor's appointment, two weeks ago, I took the dreaded glucose screening test. I just found out that my blood-sugar levels were a little high, so now I have to go for a more in-depth glucose tolerance test this week to be sure I don't have gestational diabetes. I shouldn't complain because things have been going so smoothly up until now, but I really hate needles, so I am NOT looking forward to 3 hours of blood testing!! The only other pregnancy issue I've had is nosebleeds over the last couple weeks. The doctor said this is normal, especially with the really dry air, so I'll just be using the humidifier for a while I guess. Other than that, I've been feeling good. My stomach is growing, but I'm still comfortable and excited!

  3. Would love to chat with you soon! Glad to hear everything is going well--hope your test was ok, lots of my friends have had to do the long test and everyone came back ok, so you should be fine. You look so cute--can anyone else tell you are pregnant yet? If not, in a few weeks they will...
