We had our 30 week doctor's appointment today. Everything went well. The heartbeat was 150 again. Our next visit is scheduled for the 18th.
Lots has happened since my last blog. Let's see. I did not pass the one hour glucose test. I had to go back the following week for a fasting 3 hour test. I couldn't eat after midnight the night before and had to be at the doc office by 7:30 am. I had to drink a sweeter drink than the first time and then sit in their office for the next 3 hours. They drew blood 4 times. I had bruises on both arms. I did pass that test! The doc said that I do not have diabetes, but he would consider me to be borderline. So he wants me to be careful with my diet. Sounds easy enough, right?!?!?
We went for a 3D/4D ultrasound on Aug 25th to find out the gender. Our baby is in a breech position. It's butt is tucked into my left side and its head is tucked up just below my ribs on the right side. It is also with its spine facing out. No Luck! We spent at least 25 minutes trying to the kid to move its legs or turn or move or something. Nope! The technician said that there is 50% chance it's a girl. DUH! So, we have to go back for a re-do. Our appointment is next Thursday 9/13 in the evening. Our fingers are crossed! We really want to know if it is a boy or a girl.
In August, my dad and Holi (Dan's girlfriend) came over and painted the nursery for me! It looks great! It is a soft yellow color with an aqua blue strip across the top of the room. My parents and I also got the crib put together. It is oak and it matches the stain that Mike and his dad are using on the baby changing station they are building. We also hung a few giraffe and zebra pictures up. The room is no longer our office, but obviously a baby's room!
I hope to get some pictures posted later. Love ya!
