Pregnancy update
We haven't done one of these in a while now right? I don't think I am missing something aside from the fact that I know it's not titled correctly.
Re: Pregnancy update
I went for my 30w check up this morning. All is well, heartbeat is good, steady, and strong, belly measurement is right on track, and no more tests need to be done. I surprisingly didn't gain any weight in the past 2 weeks. I figured I'd put on a few pounds since he's gaining weight and I've been eating a lot of crap food lately.
We got the crib the other day and set it up on Saturday. My mom told me today that they'll buy the mattress for it if we want to wait till she comes down in August for my shower. I told her that is fine since we won't need it before then.
Got the nursery almost all set up, just need to move a bookcase from one bedroom into the nursery. I don't have any wall decorations but none of our rooms really have anything on the walls so I'm not planning on buying any. I would like to get some new curtains and an area rug for the room. I just need to find someone to go with me since DH probably won't go.
We have our first childbirth/parenting class this coming Saturday. We are looking forward to it. I think DH is pretty freaked out and hoping that this class will help him - even though he can only go to the first half. His sister is going with me next week for the second half.
Tomorrow is my 28 week appointment with the lovely glucose tolerence test. I am not so nervous about the drink or fasting since I have done the 3 hour before to test my PCOS but because of said PCOS, and my doctor taking me off of my meds I am nervous for the results. If I have it, I have it and will adjust. I just feel like it will be a huge change because lately, food is my enemy. I have no idea what to eat and I feel guilty about depriving my child of needed nutrients, so I end up crying when it comes to trying to decide what to eat. I keep eating junk because nothing sounds good. I try to work in veggies and fruits but It has been so hard!
He has his lazier days but still moves quite a bit.
My parents came down this past weekend and we worked on the nursery. It now actually is a nursery with the furniture up, and walls painted. I have a few things left to make but I am hoping to have it all finished in the next 3 weeks, except the things that are on our registry.

Every time you update I can't believe how far along you are!!! I can't wait to see your crib. I am not huge on too much wall decor myself this tree decal is about as far as it will go in the nursery aside from maybe a name plaque of some sort when we figure that out.
Today was my 38 week appt. The Dr. asked me if I wanted my membranes stripped. I wish I would have said no.
I am dialated to a 1 at this point and was reminded that she is a big baby. Which is annoying being that I saw the Dr I really don't care for and the other two told me not to stress about her size at all because she was still in the normal range. This Dr. measured me and said that about her being big, I wanted to tell her to go take a look at my last ultrasound.
You will do great, just keep that $hit super cold.
OMG, they stripped your membranes...it could be soon!! AAAH! Now, it could also do nothing and you'll still have some time...but it could be soon!!!
Very exciting! Hope things start moving for you soon.
Hanging in there. Made a lot of progress lately. Installed car seats today at the local fire station. Booked daycare. Had GBS test yesterday and an internal. Nursery is done. I've got all of my FML/maternity leave paperwork submitted. Just a few more small things to do.
Glad to hear that everyone else is progressing well and getting things done.
Doing ok here. Nothing really new to report. Went to see Mel's mom yesterday and so far so good. No concerns. Next appt will be the 1hr Glucose Test.
Haven't made a lick of progress emptying the nursery out. Nick still needs to build those shelves/closet he has been talking about doing so we can turn that bottom room to the guest room.
Other than that I just need more sleep, and a massage...
