HEAT

Sorry for no post last week. I went to my doctors last week and I failed my first glucose tolerance test. I was very sad, but went back in for the 3 hour test and I passed. I had to fast for 12 hours and by the end I was starving. I just hope I don't have to do that again. The baby was good and the heart rate was in the 130's and came up to 150 for a little bit which the doctor said was great. I think we narrowed down the material we are using for the baby's room and Chad was able to put together the dresser and is starting on the crib. I have been starting to feel the effects of pregnancy this week. Since it got hot this weekend I got my first taste of pregnancy and heat. I am not sure I am that fond of it but I am hoping I will be able to make it work without being terribly crabby. We had a pretty busy weekend with Chad's cousin Jeremy's Graduation party, the baptism of Noah, and Father's Day. This also led to the next new pregnancy thing I have noticed is being tired. Although I have been tired throughout the pregnancy at times, it is now to the point where I feel like I have no choice but to take a nap. I hope it is just the heat doing it but this is really the first time I feel like my pregnancy has limited me, and made me feel like I have to slow down a bit. I have been able to go swimming at the gym quite a bit and now that the out door pool is open I have been able to get a little sun. I really like swimming during pregnancy since your belly feels weightless. That is about all that I have for now. I will start going to my doctors office every 3 weeks now until about 36 weeks I think. I should have more baby updates soon.

Uneventful week 25
Well there is not a lot to report this week. I go in for my glucose test today to see if I have gestational diabetes, which hopefully will come back fine. Then I just have a normal appointment to check progress and things like that. We found out that our crib and changing table are in and are going to pick them up tonight. My mom and I went shopping for material for the baby's room. We found some pretty cute stuff so I am excited to get started on that. I need to keep reading my pregnancy book so I can move on to the Bradley book but I have been less motivated this week to read it. Things have been slow at work and I have had several shifts off which has been nice but hard on the bank account. Chad has been busy putting together 2 new computers for us which I am excited to start using soon. Other than that I am happy to be one week closer to our baby being ready for the outside world. My excitement grows each week and I feel like time is going by so fast that before I know it the baby will be here. Have a good week everyone.
