Week 30

We have officially entered our thirtieth week today! I went to the doctor this morning after having to chug 10 oz. of Glucola so they can test for gestational diabetes. It wasn't as bad as I had heard.

Our doctor informed us that baby's head is down already. He said he must be a smart boy to be getting himself ready for his entrance into the world so soon. I tend to agree. I'm pretty sure our boy will be a smart one!

I am getting bigger by the day, but am enjoying it. I love feeling his kicks and other movements. He is VERY active!

Kent and I can't wait to see him! It's becoming more real and so exciting every day!

Baby's now the size of a squash!
As baby's skin smooths out, his brain just keeps getting more wrinkled. All those grooves and indentations increase surface area, meaning more room for that oh-so-essential brain tissue. He's also adding some brawn -- his grip is now strong enough to grasp a finger.

Week 27

Well...we had another appointment last week. We had our second ultrasound so they could get an even better look at baby's spine. The ultrasound technician said everything was looking perfect.

Doctor says I'm growing normally and everything seems to be moving along smoothly.

I, on the other hand, have been sick for the last month. I have had a cold I can't get rid of along with a sore throat, heartburn, and horrible cough. I am hoping I can get rid of this soon. It's really taking its toll.

My next appointment includes me chugging 10 oz. of glucola, which will help the doctor see if I have gestational diabetes. I have been told this is not fun and I am not really looking forward to it!

The nursery is coming along so well. For the first time in our co-habitating, the house is organized, thanks in large part to Kent. He has been working hard to get things ready for baby! Now that the nursery is coming together, it makes me want to meet our baby boy even more. I can't wait!
