30 weeks and counting down...10 to go!

Today we hit 30 weeks. I am a little nervous about the baby's room and getting organized. I have been told by Karl that it will all come together. I know it will, I am just ready to sit in a finished room before we bring the baby home. I have both a blue and pink going home outfit and blankets and that is as far as I have taken it.
10 weeks doesn't sound that long. I am ready to meet this little one but I'll take the last few weeks to get organized a little better.
The room is coming along...Karl and I plan on working on it all day Saturday. The Aggies are playing tonight and we will actually get a televised game!!! WHOOP! So, we plan on hanging the closet door (during half time) and making that the last of the renovation (as far as non-painting items go).
Karl will not allow pictures to be taken. I can only take pictures at this point for scrap booking and dating purposes. I can’t post anything…You should understand. The finished product will look amazing and we’ll all have to wait to see that.

10 yards to go until touch down…10 weeks and counting down!!

Sweet, but not too sweet!

I had a check up this last Friday and was able to take and FAIL the 1 hour glucose test. Dr. Hanson asked me to make sure that I completed the three hour glucose test by the end of the week. So, since Karl was starting on the room (painting), I spent my Saturday morning at the hospital (from 7:20 AM until 1:30 PM). I was one hungry bear by the time I came home.

I am planning on delivering at Lutheran, but Mercy Hospital allows you to go in between 7 – 8 AM on Saturdays to perform your glucose test! So, I headed to Mercy early Saturday morning. Lo and behold Mercy was having its Annual Stork Event. This is where Babies-R-Us and Mercy bring in all kinds of vendors and teach short one hour sessions on anything and everything. I attended the breasfeeding and how to let your baby sleep sessions! It was like a mini-job fair. You could sign up for everything under the sun. So, between sticks and them taking my blood, I was able to walk around and see the delivery rooms, recovery rooms and NICU. It was a wonderful surprise to a much dreaded day!

The great news is….I PASSED! I do not have gestational diabetes! I am super pumped about it and glad that I don’t have to prick my fingers daily (sorry, Neil).

Karl was able to get most of the grass on all four walls, the barn painted and the cows while I was gone! Progress, progress!

All is going well. We are two in half months away from due date and raring to GO!
