Phew it's been awhile since my last post! We've been so busy with getting things ready for the baby, I haven't had time to post! In the last month I had my gestational diabetes test, which apparently if you test high, they make you go back and they draw your blood four times in five hours. For both tests they require you to drink a sugary drink that tastes like non-carbonated soda/orange triminic. It's not that bad. The most boring part of the whole test was when they asked me to come back because my initial test looked suspect. This required me to take a half day off work so I could sit in a waiting room for half a day, and they drew my blood every hour. All that work to find out that I didn't have gestational diabetes, which is good!
I also had my first baby shower. My sister threw me a great shower in Grand Island. It was primarily for my mom and dad's side of the family and GI friends. We got such great stuff! I had to clean out the closet (which needed to be done anyway) in the nursery to make room for everything! I'm still looking at all the diapers we got. We have three boxes of newborn diapers and I'm wondering how long that will last. I predict maybe a month. I guess we'll see!
I'm told there will be another shower in the Elmwood-Murdock area, which is good because I would hate to leave out my family and friends from around here!
I was also able to decorate the nursery with the help of my friend Kristy. Her eye for creativity has helped me tremendously! I'm only disappointed in myself for 1) Not being better prepared for our shopping venture, and 2) not being able to use what little creativity that I have because I couldn't decide how the room should be decorated. As the day went on we were able to pull something together. The room looks great! I'll have to post pictures of the room soon so everyone can see it's progress thus far.
The baby has been kicking like crazy! My stomach has moments of pure jolts, to the point to where I think my stomach has tourettes. Everytime I grab Heath's hand, or tell him to put his hand on my stomach, she quits kicking. I feel bad because he wants to feel her kick so bad, and has only felt it a few times. I'm sure he'll get plenty of chances to feel her kick after she's born, but it's just not the same.
Until next time, and I promise it won't take so long. ;)
