Time is flying

29 weeks and 3 days preggo today :)
We made it to the 3rd Trimester can't believe it, already?

We had a very busy week last week....

Monday I had my Doc appointment where I got my blood sugar checked. I failed my 1st test. My blood sugar was 150 1 hour after I drank the yummy orange drink. The doctor said 139 and below is good and 200 and above is Gestational Diabetes. So I was in the Gray area which means I had to go in for test #2 a 3 HOUR test at the hospital. I couldn't eat 12 hours before the test once I got there they drew my blood. Then I got to drink another orange drink (which tastes like Sunkist ;) and then every hour after that drink for 3 hours they draw blood. So needless to say I have 2 nice little bruises on my arms But it was worth it cause I PASSED!! I do NOT have Gestational Diabetes :) Bring on the sweets!! haha

I also sense I last updated found a new love for Garage sales! I went 2 days in a row and found a few outfits but the big thing was a CRIB! Here is my Sierra testing it out for us to make sure its good a sturdy. LOL She may look like she doesn't mind it in there but she wasn't to thrilled about it that's for sure. Gary makes Sierra try out everything 1st. He also put her in Baby's stroller. What is Daddy going to make the poor dog do next?

26 Weeks

Not much new is happening with Baby, He is just moving non stop these days.

Next doctors appointment is May 3. I have my blood sugar test that morning can't wait to drink the orange drink in my fridge. (not)

Then I'm on to every 2 weeks instead of every 4 weeks.

Time sure is going FAST!
Can't go fast enough though I'm really getting excited to meet our little man!

Here are a few pics of me and baby at 26 weeks.

Doing wonderful...

I went to see Doctor Krause today. I had an 11:00 appt, got a call at 10:50 saying she just ran out the door to do a delivery (which is so exciting :) That has to be the most amazing Job!!
We got to see her at 2:00 instead. We went over the Ultrasound from 2 weeks ago, Baby Newcomer is doing wonderful! He is in a 53% bracket. (which I didn't understand so I had her explain) They base the baby's growth on a percentage they don't want the baby under 10% and don't want to baby over 90%. Baby is Sitting perfect at 53% that was good to hear cause I have a feeling I am going to have a large baby, but so far he is normal weight :) Also 24 weeks is a big milestone for the pregnancy the baby is now viable. (I think that's the right word) Which means baby's chances of surviving outside the womb are high. Obviously there is alot of growing the baby has to do yet on the inside but that is a very encouraging feeling to have :)

Me on the other hand have to cut back on junk food. Gained a few to many lbs in the last 4 weeks. No more french fries for me :( The Doctor said its nothing to worry about! (but I'm still going to take it easy on the junk food)

While the Doctor had the Doppler thing on my stomach listening to his heartbeat he decided to kick it! not just a little kick but a "get that thing off my mommy" kick! haha It was to funny we both jumped a little it made a really loud noise out of the machine. Our active little guy had a heartbeat of 161bpm Doctor said he must have been moving for a while.

I also took a look at my belly bottom the other day and saw it is starting to pop out oh my word!! haha.
I also got the Valences for the baby's room. I wanted to make sure I liked the colors before all the bedding came in sense it was order online only and I LOVE IT!! If you want to check it out it is on my registry at JCPenny's.com
God Bless!

Pictures!

Here is baby giving us a peace sign :)
Daddy says he already has the Harley wave down :)

Another view of his hand

and his hands are by his face.

More Baby photos

Me and Baby went to get another Ultrasound done this morning.
The doctor STILL wasn't comfortable with my due date because we were going back and forth with when my cycle was and she was missing info in her computer from when we had the very first ultrasound done at 9 weeks. So we waited 4 weeks (which was today) and took more measurements to see the rate Baby was growing.
Turns out he is right on track! The due date still stands as July 23. He is weighing in at 1lb 8oz. Definitely growing! (and so am I)

It was cool to see how much of a change he made in just 4 weeks. Everything was more clear. And she confirmed again that it is infact a little boy ;)

Spring is here!!

Happy Spring!!
Gary and I just got back from a wonderful vacation in Orlando.
We did so many things...
Seaworld, The City Walk at Universal Studios and Downtown Disney. The only place we missed was Epcot.
It was Gary's 27th Birthday while we were gone and it was a cloudy day so the birthday boy got to pick what we were going to go do for the day. I recomended shopping but he picked Gatorworld! It was tons of Fun. 100+ acres of gators gators and more gators, It was also the largest bird sanctuary in FL (which I didn't enjoy so much sense I got pooped on by one the dumb things) but it made Gary's day ;)

Probably the most exciting thing that happened last week was at 12:20am 3/18/10 The morning of Gary's birthday he got to feel his little boy kick. It was the most special moment! He was saying Happy Birthday daddy, can't wait to meet you!
It wasn't just one little kick either it went on for a good 60 seconds. Maybe he was hicuping?

God is so good!

I also think my nesting might be setting in. I am starting to go through my basement and organize stuff. Getting real excited to start on a Baby's room but its just a little to early it would be empty and that would be no fun so I will continue to wait.....
