And then...and then...and then...

I've been slacking on the posting!

I'm quite exhausted from this past weekend at the cabin and having to get up early for my 1-Hour Glucose Tolerance Test today. I plan on getting my butt into a cozy tub and then bed as soon as I'm don with this (and hopefully by then, my virus scan will be done, too).

On Friday, August 14th, I had my first baby shower - hosted by my Mom, MIL, SIL, and my future SIL. It was a lot of fun and some people came that I didn't expect! My cousin and her little guy, Maddox, made it over...and Dave's aunt came all of the way from Indiana with one of her friends. I got quite a stash of stuff but, believe me, there is plenty more that I still need. I merely want the needs of my little guy met, not much more than that. I don't want him starting out spoiled!

So, as I stated earlier, I had my gestational diabetes test today (it was my 28 week appointment). It was pretty good. The glucose drink is awful...it was supposed to be lemon-lime flavor, but it pretty much tasted like corn syrup. And it gave me heartburn. And it made me feel all jittery. Anyway, I measured correctly this time - right on at 28. I'm very happy I don't have to be worried about having a huge baby in there. The lab called with my results within an hour and said I passed everything just fine! Yay!

I am feeling a lot more relief at work as I no longer have to apply vinyl to the banners. I feel bad for my co-worker, however, who has to do it instead. I suppose life goes on.

Tonight I did my first tally of kick counts. Dave decided to lay his head up against my tummy and Tobin decided to kick him in the face a few times. It was hilarious! I think what makes it the MOST funny, is that it's the first time that Dave has felt him move in there. :D He's seen my belly move around before, but the timing was never right when he put his hands there. So tonight was a fun little milestone.

Oh yeah, I also put together the little shelf I got for the nursery. It looks cute. I got those little fabric cubes to easily pull out and stock items (diapers, wipes, bath stuff, etc.).

Phew...long one. (Still waiting on virus scan to complete, however.) Hopefully my next update will be a little sooner than these last few!
