Nursery Pics

The baby's nursery is on its way. Andy worked hard to paint the walls green before the professional muralist came and did the details. We worked together to put the furnitre together and we are so happy with how it looks. Now we will need to focus on the important things like clothes and diapers :) I think we have some time but its fun to think about.

September 29th-28 weeks, 6 days

Many of you have been giving me a hard time about not posting new pictures so here there are. The baby has been moving a ton and she and I are having fun playing our new poking game. She will wiggle around in my stomach and when it gets to be a little too much I simply poke at her. I think this confuses her because she goes crazy. It makes me laugh and it’s a great bonding moment.

Andy and I are currently having trouble with a name. We had picked a name and were excited about it. However, I am having second thoughts. Andy is so in love with the original name that he has told me that I have until the end of October to pick a name or were going with the original. I guess I better get to the name hunting!

My diabetes has been a struggle over the past few weeks. Gone are the days of low blood sugars and I have turned the corner into my third trimester running a little high. The doctors had warned me that as I continue through my pregnancy I will become more insulin resistant. This is completely normal and I simply have to stay on top of it. I have been emailing my blood sugars to the doctor every Monday and we make adjustments accordingly.

I only have a few more weeks before I start visiting both the OB and the Maternal Fetal Specialist once a week. Once I hit 32 weeks I will see one on Specialist on Mondays so they can check my placenta and ensure its working appropriately and then on Thursdays I will meet with the OB so they can monitor the baby’s heart to be sure everything is fine.

This weekend is my baby shower and I am very excited. It will be so fun to be surrounded by people I love and celebrate the upcoming arrival of our daughter!

September 20th-27 Weeks, 4 days

Ok I was feeling guilty about not posting anything in a while so I found some cute cartoons that help express how I feel. I have a dr's appointment this Wednesday and then another appointment with the Fetal Specialist on October 2nd. Starting at 32 weeks I will have to see both doctors once a week :( I will learn more about that at my next appointment.
